Ask HN: Measuring how broken the office Internet connection is
The Internet at my workplace has been on and off lately and the IT admins don't admit to how bad it really is. Since it works ~(most of the time), this is often ignored and is frustrating.
How do i measure how bad the connection is? Is tcpdump logs the only way or have you come across a cleaner hack/plugin etc?
