[Elecraft] How reliable an internet connection is needed for A K3 remote to work well?

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

If you're going to ping something, do a traceroute and ping a router a 
few hops into your provider's network, or ping something like your 
provider's web server.

When you choose to ping something like Google, it tells you about your 
provider's network up to the first place they can get rid of your 
packets, and every other network up to the Google server.

The reason you want to look at something close is that you can either 
control it yourself, or you can complain about it to someone you pay.  
When you ping Google, your provider's SLA will carefully explain that 
they don't control the whole internet, and aren't responsible for 
anything beyond their own network.
