first ping the host immediately after your STB/modem and work outwards until you find where the packets are being lost. You also need to make sure you have a decent sample size for a % figure to be meaningful, on windows I would use:
My issue was packet loss between STB and the next hop, spoke to customer support earlier, they told me there was a power level issue and booked an engineer for Monday morning. After they ran the diagnostic AGC was down to 47% from 64 and I'm now seeing a consistant 1% packet loss (100 pkts). HTH.

This still doesn't explain connection interrupts while gaming, absolutely nothing has changed with my system, i've run virus checks, i have no adware/spyware and my processes are minimal. I get random spikes in all games, on all servers aswell as MSN Messenger getting signed off frequently - simple answer: NTL's problem not mine.
