Any issue with www.cisco.com

Last night I had a maintenance so I use www.cisco.com for testing the
network connectivity.
But it seems that I'm seeing about 20% packet loss from www.cisco.com.
I did same test from various points including my home cable modem
connection, which is not my company's network,
but I'm getting same result.

Are you guys seeing same thing or different result?
Is there any issue with cisco.com network?

mtr shows the packet loss in the last hop for me:

I'm seeing roughly ~25 percent packet loss, it varies.

If you are relying on ping and traceroute tests to measure packet loss,
then you are coming to false conclusions.

ICMP responses are throttled by many, many devices including routers, load
balancers, firewalls, IPS devices, etc, etc.

Yet another "Me too!" response.

We often use pings to www.cisco.com as a Internet connectivity test
from globally dispersed sites. These are typical ploss for ICMP
pings. The most likely answer, as others have pointed out, is
throttling at the destination. The fact that so many people use
www.cisco.com for this purpose is probably why they need to throttle
traffic.
