    Internet droppage

    Internet drops for a brief second, causing gaming issues. I am not 100% sure, but I've been noticing some lost in connection "hiccups". I just though it was the game server, but not I am noticing with on internet surfing Facebook and YouTube. But again it's a brief 2 to 12 seconds of nothing. I try internet speed test, only issue is that it happens at random time. maybe 20 or so sometimes through out the day. I call my ISP and the audio recording stated the are aware of the issue, but when I talk to the tech people, they say that they don't see any issues. Is there a continues speed test that I can run for a period of time that will record the date/time of the drop and measure the time out and display it to where I can show the tech people?
    Will update soon

    Here are two tests that may help. There are others if you search google for "test online speed over time".

    Note that it uses bandwidth so if you don't have unlimited bandwidth with your internet provider the data down/uploaded for these tests will count towards your monthly usage.

    What is the exact make/model of your cable modem?

    I've seen reports about problems with Intel 6 Puma based modems, like the SB6190:
