So this past week (with the FBI notice), I reset my router, downloaded firmware, etc… I also tacked on a new hard drive. I downloaded a bunch of games which had been sitting in my library with no space to go before then. In the last 24 hours or so, my internet connection has been spotty as heck. I did some command line pings, and packets were being lost. I disconnected my router, same result. My actual ping speed to various sites seemed high from memory.
So I called my ISP (Spectrum) and they insisted everything was fine on their end after running diagnostics. Whatevs, must be an issue on my end. I run the tests again once I’m off the phone, and the ping speed is cut in half and I’m not getting lost packets anymore.
Is that fishy or not?
