My Internet Sucks

For the last couple weeks I've been experiencing a lot of what I suspect is jitter in my internet connection. Mostly affecting voip/video chat and online gaming. It's really annoying when I'm playing mario kart online with friends and I lose connection before finishing the cup.
Making this thread mostly just to vent my frustration.

Yeah I did a test on packetlosstest.com using the largest packets possible and for the longest duration possible and got lots of jitter. I've changed nothing on my end to cause this, and I've reset my modem and router multiple times. I really don't want to have to deal with Comcast.

Our city streets should be decorated with the crucifixions of thieves who steal packets from people's internet

Clout is a calculus not of what you do, but of how much bulk you-ness there is in the world. You get clout by playing the victim. You get clout by victimizing others. This is something that is understood by the left and the right. If influence sways, clout squats, taking up space for its own sake."

Yeah it's a piece of a fairly thick tree branch from a tree that was removed a few weeks ago in my neighbors yard.

For the first time in about a month my Internet does not suck right now. Was able to play 3 consecutive games of Mario 35 and didn't get disconnected once. That's been the hardest game to maintain a connection to since I've been having problems. I just pinged google's DNS 1000 times from command prompt and not a single packet dropped. I've been averaging about 40 missed pings per 1000 since this started.
But the log is still in the line outside.

I kind of think that... you saw the log first... and then decided to make the thread... and then orchestrated the log reveal
