I wouldn't tolerate any ping losses to any of the RoadRunner servers
such as their news, mail, or smtp servers.

This is a valid test.
Call RoadRunner tech support and ask for a second level technician as soon
as they answer the phone.
Work with them until they see the packet losses too. It may take a while,
but take the time.
They followed this procedure when this was happeneing to me:
1) Dispatched a technician to my house to check the drop from the pole
Result: technician replace the coax from the telephone pole to the box
on the side of my house, but did not fix the problem.
Technician opened a ticket for a problem on the main line.
This ticket was pencil-whipped a day or two later -- problem
still was occuring
A week later...
2) Dispatched a technician to house to check the local drop again --
Result: found everything in good order on the drop and opened
a ticket on the main line. This time they actually
worked the ticket. Two days later problem was fixed.
This resulted in getting the cable modem problem fixed and a noticeable
improvement in my Cable TV signal in the house :-D

Hey folks,
Looking for a suggestion. I have noticed that my VPN tunnels seem to drop
on a random order.
So I have set up a simple ping cron job, I have it sending out 60 pings
every minute to three servers (one on the RR network {DNS}, one on the
east coast, one on the west coast).
The job is run every minute, so in fact this is a continuous ping that
sends results every minute.
I see that of my 60 packets, I loose a few almost once every 3 minutes.
This seems to affect all three servers.
So my questions are:
1. Is this providing me with a valid network test?
2. What kind of results should I expect?
3. What type of network reliability test would you recommend?
4. What type of network reliability should I expect?
Thanks,
Ron
