AT&T ? They finally fixed the issue I had after I sent them a 4 day history from pingplotter. Don't know what they fixed but they called me to tell me it had been resolved. Of course they gave me the run around until I finally got to talk to an engineer. The real helpful thing was that I could point my finger at the offending hop with pingplotter.
I do live in Kansas. They are running a great deal of new fiber optics here.Cableplows everywhere. Progress can sometimes seem contrary.
