[olug] Recommendations for Lincoln NE

[Kenny Kant]

I second the ideas below.  It sure sounds like a saturated connection to 
me.  Concentrate your traffic tests to Alltel's/windstreams default 
gateway and see if you can get the same results.  Download pingplotter 
(http://www.pingplotter.com/download.html) - there is a free 30 day 
trial of this - and get it running on a machine on site and have it 
record the output and failures, once again focusing on default Gateway.  
Send the traces to windstream and escalate.  But if its a residential 
connection YMV.  If you purchased your own DSL modem I would scrap it 
and have the provider send you one that they deal with everyday, 
ActionTec, Netopia ..etc dont give them any ability to point their 
finger back at  you :)  Have you asked them to come out and do a line 
test?
