So I just had ATT uverse installed, using their 45Mbps package, which seems to be 2 DSL channels.

But I've noticed that elements on webpages will constantly fail to load, and I have to reload a page, or youtube videos will stall, but just clicking a second ahead restarts them (presumably sending a new HTTP request for the content). All on a wired gigabit connection to the router.

If I do a ping -f to the first hop outside the router, I get a consistent .3% packetloss, same with any major website (pinging the gateway has no packet loss).

Is this normal?

tentatively, it might have been a bad ethernet cable...

I would expect nothing less than 0% packet loss unless I knew there was an outage somewhere nearby. I've never had uverse though so I don't know what is normal.

Next time I'm having issues, I'll check to see if I'm dropping any packets.
