This is not a direction Linux question. I have a friend (on window$) who is having issues with cox. He swears he is intermittently getting 30-60sec hang ups with his connection to the internet after which there is a varying level of bandwidth. Cox said their seemed to be a problem and told him to get a new modem. This provided no change. Kind of pisses me off that they didn't just bring a test modem. This has been going on for 6 months.
I was wondering, does anyone have a tool that we could use to monitor his connection continuously? Maybe something like neubot (http://www.neubot.org) but more to the point. I feel at this point he needs to prove the problem to Cox. All suggestions are welcome, sorry for being off topic, and thanks in advance.
