My internet has been ROCK SOLID recently - has Rogers made any changes?

[wayner92]

I don't know if Rogers has changed anything recently but my internet has been more solid than ever in the last month or so.  I run a script that pings www.google.com every minute and log the results.  Typically I would have about 4-5 bad pings per day and some days when there were a bunch of failures in the middle of the night, likely due to a maintenance window.  

But in the last month things have been remarkably solid - two bad pings on Feb 9 and about 12 bad pings on Feb 7.

I usually run a remote connection running X2go on a PC that connects to a VPN.  This used to drop pretty much every night and now it never drops. 

I wonder if Rogers has changed anything recently?

p.s. This is a nice change from 12 months ago when many of us were fighting with the bad firmware on the CGN3 that would crash every day or two.

I have noticed the same with my Rogers connection.

It looks like I jinxed myself as I had five lost packets between 1:13 and 1:46 on Saturday Feb 28.  But that was almost 19 days between bad packets or 27,000 good pings in a row.

I really jinxed myself - major packet loss between noon and 3 today.  I called in and they said it was a problem in my area - but it seems to have cleared up 40 mins ago.
