From the looks of it, it looks like it's either Cox Cable's fault, or their upstream link that's failing (although I can't say I've ever seen that host name, nor am I able to resolve that host name from the DNS servers).

I don't think it failing is really proof of anything. I've never been able to complete a tracert to any of CoH's servers, yet I rarely have issues connecting or staying connected.

Even ping requests show 100% loss. YMMV. I just wanted to give you an example of a connection that "works" for comparison.

Title pretty much says it all... But I DID manage to find something that I think may help figure out whats wrong, I did a traceroute to useast.cityofheroes.com to see if I could reach the servers, and this is the traceroute:
1 1ms 1ms 1ms <IP Address of my PC>
2 13ms 18ms 11ms ip98-179-8-1.om.om.cox.net
3 28ms 14ms 7ms 68.13.9.197
4 60ms 43ms 20ms 68.13.8.21
5 22ms 8ms 8ms mtc1dsrj01-xe210.0.rd.om.cox.net
6 70ms 68ms 90ms paltbbrj01-ae2.0.rd.pt.cox.net
7 * * * Request timed out.
8 * * * Request timed out.
and so on with the time outs.
It's obvious something screwed up at hop 6, does this mean it is the cable's fault?
