Hi Charles.
The totals shown for packet loss by that site are TOTALLY WORTHLESS. Take a
look at the individual numbers and you will see that they are including links
which are 100% down. Also, you will note a large number of 6% loss links, but
no 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% links. What are the odds? IMPOSSIBLE!
Enjoy,
John

The Internet on average has 4% packet loss so yes 1% is usually acceptable.
While it may not be acceptable to someone paying for a service it is a fact of
life in some cases. Depending on where you are going on the Internet it is
acceptable in general terms.
...
BTW, the average packet loss across North America this morning was 5% as
reported at: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/main.htm
