Just a simple question this time. Is this normal for Comcast these days?
EVERY web site I go to takes a full minute or more for the original
connection to be made. Calling support gets me the old "disconnect and
reconnect your modem" routine. I'm not aksing for help at this point, I
just would like to know of these one minute times are "normal."

Thanks so much.

Thanks so very much for your help but "Been There Done That." :-) All I am
asking (at this time) is if the one minute connection times are "normal" for
Comcast these days. There's no question but what the problem is Comcasts.
For example a ping of the site I use to set my computers' clock showed 16
hops with packet loss at each stop as follows (in percent):
40,30,50,60,50,40,50,40,20,50,60,40,40,30,50,50.

If this sort of service has become the norm for Comcast I'll just move on to
DSL or something.

Thanks again.

If you are getting that much packet loss from the very first hop, you need
to get Comcast to come out for a trouble call.
