Topic: Yes Virginia. Router ports do go bad.

[zalternate]

So I am listening to some Internet radio today and noticing a small glitch(sound) in the stream. So I putter about and I change the port where this system is connected to on my router and the glitch went away.  
Earlier the wife was watching YouTube and the stream stopped in the middle(YouTube does have a glitch itself to do with this when it's busy). So some more testing and things seem be good now.

The glitch did not affect my speeds or pings(no dropped packets showing).  

3 more ports left to go.    Then time for a new router.
