| 1132283 | 2010-08-28 11:37:00 | ...and yet for some reason, this smaller ISP thought they knew something that even the largest ISP in the country didn't, about how to run a flat-rate plan and still turn a profit. Wait a second, that's it, they'll oversubscribe their bandwidth so terribly it'll be un-usable! Genius! ;) |

| 1132284 | 2010-08-28 12:20:00 | I don't think Slingshot are that stupid: Check their website, they said the unlimited plan is limited to the first 10,000 subscribers. Regarding the original matter, I just checked mine, 0% packet loss, 36ms Ping, 2ms Jitter and a line quality rating of "A" 17% loss isn't awesome, but if you're doing it over the WiFi that may be why. Try an ethernet connection to your router if you haven't already? |

If your packet loss goes to 0% when you use ethernet, then it's your WiFi which is losing packets... |

| 1132290 | 2010-09-03 05:03:00 | Doing a Pingtest.net test it says I get a 96% packet loss, always has done. My internet connection works alright though. :) Bought a new router. A Linksys Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem Router model number WAG120N. Ran a Pingtest.net test and got 0% packer loss. My old router was a Belkin ADSL2+ router Model F5D5630au4. It was about 4 or 5 years old. Pages pop up alot quicker with the new router. Will keep the Belkin as a spare. :) |
