Well I'm not one for giving praise but that last 36hrs have seen extraordinary changes in the quality of my broadband.

Typically I experience packet loss everyday on VM, no matter what. I monitor this 24/7/365 and can actually anticipate the time of day when to 'avoid' using the service ! Yes it has been that bad.

However, just look at the attached charged which shows very little packetloss.

Again I ask ... " What's changed ? "... Well whatever it is, well done VM and I hope it stays this way :D

:clap:

Speedtests are for the noobs. It's better to test latency as you can still quite easily get 15mbps with a pretty horrendous line. Speedtests prove nothing.

With the current low latent connection I can guarantee a speedtest coming back at 20mbps so I don't need to waste my time.

Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless

That may be, but mine has always been pretty good.
