Hmm...

PingPlotter is reporting between 25 and 50% packet loss on the first leg of the journey from the modem to Comcast's router, though it's a bit harder because the packet loss average percentage gets thrown off every time the modem gives out.

Pretty sure that either the modem they gave me or the line connecting it to the wall is crap.

Also, if you want to see the true workings of the Internet Hate Machine, as well as hear a Fox News reporter unironically say the phrase "truly epic lulz," you could do worse than to watch this clip.
