Someone created an application for uverse users that goes into the gateway and pulls relevant information. The information (link retrain, for example) is then color coded for caution and out of range. The application is called up real time, not something peddled by at&t to show how "great" your connection is. People unfortunately believe a speed test is a reliable way to measure a connection quality. There may be utilities out there like this that look at signal levels and statistics to tell the user their connection blows. I believe the uvrealtime application actually shows the provider sending resets as a deterrent for using bit torrent.
It would be nice for such a thing to tell me that my ISP connection is having trouble too, but I'm mostly interested in understanding the things that are nominally under my control on my home network. It seems that most routers have (gratuitous?) apps these day, but given the awfulness of their web UI's and their configurability, I don't have much hope that they do what I want. Mike
