Since yesterday morning I have noticed that websites take an inordinate amount of time to load including my homepage. For example League of Legends is unplayable, Youtube videos either take a long time to engage or they never load, and I could not even set up a wish list on New Egg. :-/ As I said, prior to yesterday I had no issues (with the exception of Riot Games buggy PvP Chat client which is a perpetual issue that many of us suffer with; their IT stinks).

So, anyone else? I am wondering if another DDOS attack is taking place.

Thanks.
 
Do a tracert to a bunch of IPs and see where things get nasty.....

First, thanks for the reply; much appreciated.

Second, I think it is nasty all around. :bang head I both pinged and did tracerts for Comcast.net, Xfinity.com, google.com, microsoft.com Firefox, leagueoflegends, and Youtube. As for the pings: all but Microsoft.com and League were 3 out of 4 Packets lost. MS and League were 4 out of 4 Packets lost.

Tracerts: There were multiple time outs experienced by all, especially League (of course).

Back in December I had Comcast out to the house. Both my splitter and my outside connections were good. They gave me a brand new modem to replace my old one. My current router is a Netgear 700 that has been working fine for 3 years with the only issue being League.

Where do I take it from here? Could my issue be my router? I am in territory that I only have a basic working knowledge. Thanks much.

In Addition: I have upgraded to the latest firmware and still have loss.
