Hi again. As some of you may have gathered, I have a
really crappy Internet connection. I was wondering if
there are any tools that a relative newbie can use
that produces some output that I can shake in the face
of my cable representative and tell him to shape up?
Changing ISPs isn't possible as there is only one
cable Internet provider in Jakarta that is supposed to
maintain servers for the various ISPs that provide
Internet access through their system. I am getting
all sorts of time-outs, loss of packets, etc.
Sometimes the connection is really slow or simply
kicks off, but for some reason it usually doesn't
prompt a cable modem reboot. Any ideas on tools (that
run in the background) that will help me to document
this would be helpfull. I am using Warty 4.10.
Cheers,
Brian
