ifconfig would only show problems between the NIC and cable modem. I
have no problem getting packets all the way inside the Cox network, so I
wouldn't expect my ifconfig to show any errors or packet loss either
(indeed it doesn't).

Still seeing +40% packet loss to non-Cox IP addresses. I also made sure
it's not just an ICMP problem. My sniffer shows about the same level
TCP packets being dropped (to yahoo.com for example) resulting in heavy
retransmissions and painfully slow web browsing. I think I mentioned
that rsync (873/tcp) was timing out also.

Must be a problem just in my local area.
