Internet Performance Poor Latency - Repeat of Prior Problem Resolved
This is familiar problem returned. There is now a server showing up between my home and my offsite server that is causing unacceptable latency problems. The IP "192..." is my router at home and the IP "74..." is my offsite server about 5 miles from my home. The server IP "68.1.0.242" is the problem. It's a cox network server that is introducing latency that affects my timeouts when I try to reach my offsite server. My server is hosted at IC2 - a hosting service who has looked at my latency problem before and concluded the same thing when pinging the network from IC2 to my home. In the past when I complained about this problem for months, Cox network services - which is not reachable via any traditional support channel, resolved the problem without notice. My normal latency - I generally test this daily - is about 14-17ms for this entire hop. Now based on past experience, please don't ask me to reset my modem/router or try a hardwire connection. I have done both of these to appease other "expert" posters but these yield no differences because you an immediately see from the trace route provided that there are no latency issues going through my modem to the outside world. To illustrate that point, here is a trace route to my Cox Name Server. Illustrated here is a ping going out and back to my Cox Name Server whereas my modem presents only 3ms of latency using my wireless gigabit network connection and the first Cox server I hit is only 11ms of latency total and the name server is of course IP 68.105.28.11 with a very low latency.
