gateway response intermittent in evenings

Enthusiast - Level 3

Because of intermitten connectivity problems I have set up

a script to ping my gateway 9 times every 5  or so minutes

Specifically :03,:07,:11,:19,:27,:33,:41,:49,:57

When the Standard Deviation is large I receive an email from the script

This is a sample of output 

 

13-02-13 20:41
PING 108.53.3.26 (108.53.3.26): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 108.53.3.26: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=4.249 ms

64 bytes from 108.53.3.26: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=4.056 ms

--- {edited for privacy} ping statistics ---
9 packets transmitted, 8 packets received, 11.1% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 4.056/29.079/118.455/37.728 ms

I am seeing the same behavior each evening.

Can someone at verizon look into this problem?

PS I  have installed the new router today.

Most gateway's are set to drop icmp pings as low priority traffic.  Unfortunately that doesn't do or prove a lot.

What you should try is Win MTR instead. and run traces when the service is working correctly, and when it's working incorrectly and then share those results.
