I noticed with my dsl connection. my connection is usually fine during late night/early mornings with pl once in a while at steady intervals but as the busy hours come on I the pings and what not are rock solid at 50ms to the first hop but time between pl bursts decreases. I'm thinking that the pl bursts are happening before they get to the SMS server or BB router at the other end going through the co's DS-x circuits is there any way to find out what is causing the PL when it 'seems' to be occuring on the first hop I've called my isp about it but no one seems to know how or where it's happening and how to fix it. Even though they say "I'm seeing pl". Also out of curiosity could anyone explain why I see 50m to the first hop using DSL? Is this a 'feature' of the redback subscriber system or does it have to do with old dslams?<br><br><br>
