Ok, so I have cable internet and TV through Comcast (which I didn't exactly want, but had no choice)
I want to do a stability test on our internet. Quite often throughout the day, the internet will drop out for just a fraction of a second. It does it on the TV too. The screen will blip and i'll lose the picture for just a second (sound never drops).
These constant drops don't seem like a big deal, but if i'm playing a multiplayer game online (in this instance Resistance 2), just that fraction of a second drop kicks me from the game.
SO, after that long winded explanation, what I'd like to do is to have a service running on my computer that will keep track of the total 'up-time' of the internet. I'm not sure how this could work (# of packets dropped, constantly ping the isp...) When it comes to stuff like this i'm kind of uneducated.
Do any of you guys know of a program or something that can do this? I'd like to take some solid numbers to Comcast when I rip them a new asshole.
