feeling better but crappy internet connection

Well my back is MOSTLY better, not 100% but i can get around without pain now unless i sit int eh same position for to long then it's stiff. This is good because back pain sucks .. seriously. Now on to my next frustration. Great timing too...

Last night around 8pm my network connection (through Comcast) started totally sucking. I would get bouts of packet loss bordering on a complete connection loss and then it would work fine for a few minutes and then latency would spike back up to something like 3000 ms. This obviously completely ruins my ability to play WoW and this weekend being right before a big deadline at work I have to work this weekend. I am considered a contractor at the office I am in right now so going into the office is technically not an option over the weekend. (I am working at a business partner's site) So every time I try and do anything work related it starts off fine then fails a few minutes into file transfer's. My work has me downloading creating and uploading files that are anywhere from 5 megs in size to 40megs in size. I've seen this happen to me before when i had to do a lot of work from home and I wonder if Comcast has some traffic watchign software and penalizes their high bandwidth users in some way... hard to say but I can say this ... Comcast completely sucks at keeping their network stable, they also don't want to talk about it. I called them and was told that there wasn't a problem because they could ping and reset my cable modem without problem. I even explained to the moron on the phone that the problem took some time to happen (like 2 or 3 minutes usually) and was told that i could just reset my router and modem when i saw the problem. Yessir that works... and I'd also love to have to turn my car off on the highway and wait 30 seconds before starting every 1/2 mile.... morons. This was business account technical support too, the online chat people can't talk to you if you have a business account. So I guess I am forces to head into the office and hope my badge opens the door. Just how I wanted to spend my weekend. I'd wish ruin on Comcast over their ineptness but I need them to pull their heads out and get the network working so I can play and work from the apartment. BAH!!!!!
