Need detection of excessively slow connections down AND up, not just dead connections #4

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run as "usual".
2. Notice that log either doesn't show any problems or very low number of 
disconnections.
3. Also notice, that many times the internet connection is very slow to the 
point of being virtually DEAD.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It would be nice if ICM could go beyond checking to see a "connection" and 
instead check to see if there is a USEFUL connection. Over the past few days, 
I've checked my connection using speedtest.net. It will show 50Mb/sec DOWNLOAD, 
but UPLOAD is virtually zero or times out entirely, yet ICM just keeps humming 
along saying "OK" every 5 seconds. I have trouble getting any website to finish 
loading a webpage and my Windows RDT connection is not responding to input.  Is 
the kind of check I'm asking for even possible? It seems like it would be very 
helpful in sending supporting data to Comcast to help them isolate the problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ICM 1.4
