I have been experiencing problems staying connected to Diablo III and World of Warcraft where I would be unable to participate in the game anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 minutes. Many times I would get disconnected and progress would be lost so I looked on the internet to find many people suggesting PathPing from the command prompt.

Upon using PathPing I find that from hops 0 to 1 I experience 90-100% packet loss which is very bad.

I did this twice on my desktop which is connected to a Motorola SB6150 modem/router via ethernet cable. I then tested this twice again using a laptop that connected wirelessly and I found the same results. I then swapped the Motorola SB6150 with an older motorola SB5101 modem and tested again with my desktop still hardwired and yet again found the same results.

The only thing I have not swapped is the coaxial cable going from my modem to my wall. My question is: could it be the cable or is there something I am missing? What could cause the constant disconnection or high latency on two computers that are achieving the same results with two different modems?

One last piece of information: my ISP is Cox Cable.
 
Well, it looks like to your PC to the router is OK, so its probably not an issue PC side. Just for kicks, do a trace to google.com or some random website and see if you get the same problem. If you do, then its likely the cable outside (are you buried?) could be at fault.

Below is my data when I pathping www.google.com. It appears that the same issue has happened with 100% loss of packets. So would this be an issue that I should complain to my ISP about?

And yes, my cable is buried.
