I don't need this, I have comcast.

    $ sudo ping -i 0.02 8.8.8.8
    [...]
    64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=578 ttl=53 time=15.5 ms
    ^C
    --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
    579 packets transmitted, 364 received, 37% packet loss, time 13854ms
    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 15.009/19.308/50.884/6.152 ms, pipe 2



It's so weird to hear so much complaining about Comcast here. My stats with that same command:

     --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
     615 packets transmitted, 612 packets received, 0.5% packet loss
     round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 21.332/35.875/95.576/11.248 ms
I have never seen it be anything different.


> I have never seen it be anything different.

If you parse this statement literally, it has amusing consequences.


Comcast Business connection in Olympia WA:

``` --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 538 packets transmitted, 530 packets received, 1.5% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 13.706/27.511/101.208/11.207 ms
