I'm on NCF/Teksavvy. Sometime last week I started experiencing timeouts while browsing. Pinging the remote host from my router would stall or slow with up to 80% packet loss. Sometime I just waited, sometime I rebooted the router, and ocasionally rebooted the DSL "modem". A number of NCF DSL users, incuding a neighbour, reported that they were down completely one day last week. I'm on Preston St. near Carling (K1Y, 613-236-) The remote host (first hop) can be 206.248.154.101 or 102, 103, 105, or 120, which it is right now. It seems to have cleared up for the most part over the weekend, although with all the rain Saturday my connection was extremely slow (not much better than dialup) with many many CRC errors (an urelated problem?). > However, when connected using Bell's test account, I'm seeing zero packet > loss (and, unsurprisingly, slightly better latency). How does one get one of those? Howard E.
