Can anyone help me with my net problems, it seems that every few minutes i get timeouts when I'm browsing/downloading etc.  My net speeds are just fine its just that i get timeouts every now and then, here are my tracert and ping results.

could be a bad cable bad modem bad router bad switch bad NIC lol could be a lot, it could not even be on your side but your ISP's. first off disconnect from the router and plug your computer in directly to the modem and try again if the problem is still there switch the cable if it still is there you might try a different modem if possible... process of elimination

Tnx for the reply, I tried connecting the computer directly to the modem and the problem still persists.  I might have problems getting another spare modem but I'll look try to look for one.

did you try replacing the cable first? try connecting your computer to the router and ping one of your other pc's on the router like your doing with websites that will allow you to test the NIC of your pc and see if it's that, it may be the modem or a problem on the ISP's side from what it sounds like

Thanks to all, my problem was apparently on the ISP's side and my internet seems to be fine now.  I'll post updates if  ever my problem goes back again.

I am also timing out on the third to the last hop of a testmy.net trace route!  Yes, this post is three months old.  I know some servers deny a trace route for security reasons and yes its possible that this hop of the trace is being blocked, but I cannot reach 60% of my advertised 10mpbs connection on testmy and Im trying to find out why.  Other sites like cnet.com or malwarebytes.org will be "powerboosted" for 8 seconds then level out at 10mbps.  If I ping testmy.net I get 55ms at 0% loss.  O bother, I tried to show I cant get 60% and I just got 78%
