I worked in cable for 10 years..Kevins statement (above) is a common problem. If you have cable internet you have a bad fitting, splitter, splitter configuration or a bad line somewhere. If you don't know how to correct these issues, you will need to have a technician test the lines with his meter to test for SNR (signal to noise) and RF levels.

lol this dude is speaking my language.

but yeah if its dropping like you describe there is an issue with the rf levels somewhere.
 
It's not your modem. Several have told you this already when you did the trace route; there's a break in connection from your ISP-all they have to do is fix that by rerouting it on their end.

Nice Avatar! I see you have climbed some poles yourself!! I decided to retire and get away from the long winters and get away from being on call! I got sick of staying by the phone knowing it could ring at anytime. I worked mostly rural areas where the snow and roads were pretty bad. Stay safe mate!

can i ask who your isp is? depending on who it is i may actually be able to give you some info.
 
Uh....I'm not sure what happened. it's fixed itself. Still using the old router/modem combo, the new one still doesn't work, but I got home from work last night and noticed I didn't have any drops at all in the 3 hours I had a stream up.. played a 2 or so rounds of Battlefield no drops, this morning had a stream going for nearly 3 hours, and no drops!

so.... I guess it's fixed? Strange..
