for general network failure in every location. Common networking problems that can
be difficult to detect are bandwidth throttling, packet loss, and reduced bandwidth
speed. Fortunately, you can get a pretty good picture by keeping track of your available
bandwidth speed. By knowing how fast your connection is on average, you will be
able to identify when you are experiencing quality loss. Here are some great sites
