MultiPing from Nessoft. It's a great tool for monitoring and is free/$25.
It's for Windows, however. I also use PingPlotter (it is a continuous
traceroute for a single target) for troubleshooting along a path.

hrPING is nice, too, as long as you are willing to check the log. It's a
Linux tool which is also available for Windows.

How do you track this? Manually, or with some program that reports ping
attempts?

Hello Jerry.

I have a Cisco DPC3010, straight from Cox (twice). It allows access to the
status page (192.168.100.1) which includes the signal level info. My signals
are always good, even when the packet loss is taking place. Others in my area
have the problem also. So it's not a problem on just my feed.

Sometimes problem seems to correlate with high-usage times (late afternoon,
evening), but not well enough to say there is a casual link. For example, I
saw loss of over 1% yesterday during these periods:

    00:50 to 01:00

    03:00 to 05:00 (up to 10%)

    15:40 to 17:00 (up to 12%)

    19:52 to 19:59 (up to 25%)
