Damn if I didn't read your post just before I was going to bed... I remember talking about this in a different form on the @HOME thread about 1 yr ago. I think this was the site we talked about... (courtesy of askjeeves.com a wonderful website i'm using quite often i've found) websearch.about.com It lists ISPs and packet loss. Here's another general site websearch.about.com cruzio.com Kind of a cool site where you can test packet loss for any website on thier server. Just type in the address and it sends 10 pings. I tested SI and found...

I have a cable modem and my speed test shows currently: 1511.1 Kbps (185.2 K bytes/s) computingcentral.com Have fun with these sites... I'm going to bed Regards Jay EDIT out of curiosity I just tried testing excite.com and recieved the following PING excite.com (199.172.148.11): 56 data bytes --- excite.com ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
