I have a internet connection through cox communications, for the past year or more I've had issues with packet loss sometimes it's around 10% and higher but for the most part it's about 1%. I've complained to them over and over and they tell me the issue is not with them. I've ran some trace routes using a linux box and mtr and uploaded the photo to the post. The first host is my router (cisco 2821) the second host is some cox device even though it has a private IP, it is nothing inside my network.
I was hoping someone could take a quick peak at my config and see if there is anything they see that could possibly cause this issue. I don't think Cox is going to be able to help me much as the last tech (a senior tech) told me the issue was my cable modem was plugged into a power strip and the power strip splits the voltage 6 ways causing the cable modem to fail....so given that comment I don't think I will be getting much help on their end.

I just want to make sure I don't have something goofed up on my end before I point the finger anymore at Cox.
Thank you for the help and input.

Hello,
I have run some ping tests, and a few packets are lost intermittently. As said, ICMP traffic usually has the lowest priority in provider networks, so losing some doesn't necessarily mean you have a network problem.
Did adjusting the buffers get rid of the ignored packets ? Are your users experiencing slow connectivity ?
03-14-2017 07:11 PM
The buffers you gave me seemed to of got rid of the errors on that.
As far as the packet loss goes I still have it but I finally was able to talk to someone I know at the ISP and they forwarded my traceroutes with the packet loss onto someone who was able to see some issues on the node. I was told they would monitor my cable modem and look into the noise issue on the node.
As far as slow connectivity the download speed is usually ok but uploads are just painful especially when the packet loss is higher. I'm sure this will all go away once they figure out where the issue is.
Thank you again for all your help!
