The internet provides says the line is good.
What could be wrong?

The PC is connected with cable.
Thanks.

Means the loss is outside your house.

Run tracert and find the ip for hop 2 and try to ping that one. That represents the connection between your house and the ISP. This is the most common location for problems and the easiest to get fixed. If you see loss here show your ISP that you have no loss to the router but loss to their router. Hopefully the ISP has not set their router to not respond to ping because it make it harder to test.

If this one ok you can try other hops but the farther from your house you get the more unlikely it is that you can get it fixed. If the problem is damaged connection between 2 ISP that are not yours there is really nobody you can contact.

Seems the loss is very random. It does not even stay consistent during the times these commands take to run. Pathping is not seeing loss to 8.8.8.8 and tracert is showing either no loss or loss to random nodes.

I would try a constant ping to 10.229.0.1 and see if you get similar results to your ping to 8.8.8.8

This is the ISP router that runs the connection to your house so if you see it here there is a problem with the wiring or other equipment between your house and the ISP

yup you now have proof that you internet connection has some issue.

So take these results along with the ones that show your router get no loss and call the ISP. Hopefully you get a halfway smart person. I ran into a couple that do not even know what the ping command is. Most do have methods to test the line which will show problems sometime better than ping commands will.

Something I do not understand.. They/internet provider said there is no problem.
  1. if I put wifi dongle into USB port of the PC and I connectusing that to wifi of the modem... I have much less problems... the loss is much less frequent... pages come up immediately
  2. If I connect a laptop using the same cable I use to connect it to the PC.... I seem to have no browsing problems///

So if I use witi connect between PC and modem.

Packets: Sent = 200, Received = 198, Lost = 2 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 5ms, Maximum = 20ms, Average = 7ms

It looks contradictory.
 
You have tested the pc to the router with ping. If there is any issue with the pc or with cabling you would see issues ping the router.

Data going to a different IP first goes to the router and then to the ISP. It follows the exact path as your ping to the router. It would be highly unlikely that a packet would be dropped going between the pc and the router just because it had a final destination address other than the router.

You are going to have to do more testing if you really think it works for some machine and not others. You almost have to see packet loss on hop 1 if there is a problem with the pc or the cable.

so if I had a problem with network chips.. in the pc. would I experience a loss of packets on hop 1?
 
Yes the same network chip talks to the router so if it was bad all packet would be affected. The network hardware actually has no concept of ip addresses. It at best knows about mac addresses. I does not look inside the data packet to it all the ip header and the actual user data is just payload. There used to be protocols that didn't use IP addresses and the same chips would pass those it doesn't care what it being passed.

All the IP address stuff is used by the all the routers to find the path to the destination.
