Connectivity issues in Cherry Hills Village Colorado
For some weeks we've been experiencing increasing bouts of dropped packets. Rebooting the cable modem doesn't seem to change anything.

using google.com as a ping partner, I see times ranging from 10ms to 40ms and dropped packets up to 50%. My traceroute output follows. There are no Windows systems permitted on our network (other than virtual machines which are not active and/or not connected past their host during these events). There is no obvious time of day or weather pattern involved.

--- google.com ping statistics ---
37 packets transmitted, 21 packets received, 43.2% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 10.724/19.875/57.667/11.623 ms
---> this results in poor voice (skype, facetime, hardware voip, etc.) as well as making it nearly impossible to download ISO images.
Suggestions?

Your upstream power is too high. It shouldn't go above 50. Any higher and you could start seeing issues. Just to be on the safe side, have you inspected your cable for any damage and confirmed all connections are tight? I'd also recommend removing any splitters from the path if possible.
