my routing is dropping packets to a sight i use all day long.  i didn't have this issue with charter, and when i use a vpn to any city outlet nearby the same route works perfectly.

ignore hop 4-5 verizon routers which simply ignored ping requests.

the problem is mostly with the hop 10-12, i also notified yahoo.com

Don't see any timeouts on hops 10-12.

WHy do you thing there is a packet drop issue there?

Anfd without looking it up, are those hops even on Verizon network?

the problem is intermittant so a msdos tracert isn't helpful.

this tool may do a better job displaying the problem.

since yahoo belongs to verizon as of march 2017

you'd think they would do a better job of routing it Smiley Sad

again, ignore hop 4-5, as it's simply rejecting ping packets.

the real packet loss problem appears to start from hop 8,

but i suspect it's really 10-12 triggerring the problem upstream.

there is no other activity on this fios besides this ping test,

and it's 1am est, so it can't be congestion...

thus far nobody answered my original question.

how do you get VERIZON to recognize and remedy routing problems.

this specific problem is immaterial.

years ago back when i was a business customer with a T1 line,

i could call support with this evidence and they would investigate the CLEC.

now as a residential consumer, I have no idea how best to pursue this Smiley Embarassed

I tweeted this link to @verizonsupport and @YahooCare in hopes someone on their social media team will bump my complaint up to tier3 networking - wish me luck  Smiley Very Happy

Remember you are asking peers here. 

I am not sure I see anything exciting in any of the reports you posted.  Such respons time are typical and well below what some people, not reporting problems, see.

So I just did 100 pings of size 1000 bytes to finance.yahoo.com.

Got 100% success rate with average time of 17ms.

Sounds pretty clean to me.

So tell me what routing problem you beleive needs to be solved?

thanks, but your effort was worthless without seeing your tracert so we can divine what intermediate router is in MY way (not yours) that's causing all these packet errors.

To answer the topic question immediately, it might be worth considering that Yahoo was just recently purchased by Verizon. Right now you're routing through Telia to reach Yahoo services. A "fix" in the routing might just be connecting Verizon's network directly to Yahoo's at the Internet Exchanges, which will take time of course if such a plan is in place. Just like how AOL (which is also owned by Verizon) directly connects up to the Verizon backbone which can be seen in a traceroute.

Other than that, I've noticed that Yahoo at times, likes to stop responding to pings. If I ping them more than 20 times, they tend to just stop responding, and stay like that for a long time, despite what I'm pinging loading up something like their homepage otherwise. So that's also some food for thought. I can't coorelate as to when or why they do that.

Is the packet loss affecting the ability to reach Yahoo services? I don't know if they still offer anything real time since Yahoo Games closed down and Yahoo Messenger was "updated" to lose it's voice calling abilities.

I'm happy to report after several weeks complaining to yahoo, telia and verizon, they finally took that failing router offline (see hop 😎 and it's replacement is working without a hickup.  of course i have no idea if my feedback over this mattered at all because none of them ever acknoledged my forum posts, tweets and emails, but at least we have hope that intermittant problems today, can become consistant features tomorrow Man Wink
