I found a way where you can trace a connection to a server more thoroughly than just tracert and ping...
in your command prompt, type: pathping -n (ip address)
eg. pathping -n 205.216.112.157
this will give you a technical result like:
Hop RTT Lost/Sent = Pct Lost/Sent = Pct Address
0 192.168.1.102
21/ 100 = 21% |
1 2ms 25/ 100 = 25% 4/ 100 = 4% 192.168.1.10

Trace complete.
based on these results, i can see that there is definitely a connection problem!
on the average, 20% of my connection gets dropped and that affects connection stability.
