Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

I'll mull it over qas and get back to you, it shouldn't upset the settling in period should it?

Re: Router, Yes as you suspected I'm using the supplied router although I would like to change it at some point to a more configurable one but for now I will leave it alone as it's responding to pings ok.

I was a little concerned about the number of speed related complaints about Sky's new fibre offering but I believe that's just a glitch rather than a capacity issue, plus Sky are aware of it and working on a fix.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

No, shouldn't affect anything, it's only an extra 4 packets per second (downloading a file at 40mbps is 3500 packets per second) so the load should be negligible.

Yeah I'm guessing it's a glitch (just like the 80/10 people on BT) but it's one of those odd ones where nobody will admit what the actual problem is.

Note that Sky use MER, so its hard(er) to use your own router, Openwrt/DDWRT/pfsense apparently support it (with some tweaking) but the majority of standard routers won't.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Again, not sure if this is a result of the upgrade work, but for the most part, i can now actually enjoy a game at some point after midnight.

I played Black Ops for the first time in a year and enjoyed a portion of it, although i was having little jumps of lag every now and then, which may or may not have been due to a rubbish host.

FIFA is still touch and go, but during the times of minimal jitter ive been able to actually play the game without wanting to post Anthrax to Virgin Media's headquarters.

That looks like a local network noise problem.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Anybody know what could be causing this? My connection has been poor since I was upgraded to 60Mb last month. I'm using the Superhub in Modem Mode with a Linksys E3200 Router. Are the spikes likely to be caused by the Linksys?



Packet loss around 7am is due to a reboot. I haven't used the internet since setting up the monitor in order to try to establish a baseline (apart from a little bit of multiplayer Mario tennis at around 11pm).

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Those spikes look like usage. Do you have anything connected to or plugged into the router? If so, unplug/disconnect it. Any device on your network could be virused up and doing that.

So pabscars, got a speedtest.net result?

Speedtest.net has been giving me inconsistent results but the BB Max test (see linky above) has been rock solid showing full speed on every test thus far

enjoy

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Possible timing errors aside (or the BT speedtester being off whack) this confirms Sky's service is in fact faster than BT Infinity, as Sky does not impose the 96.8% IP profile limiter that BT does.

So while BT 40mb "is really" up to 38(.72)mbps, Sky's 40mb "is really" up to 40.

Course the difference is a few percent either way, and there's the 80% slower upload to consider, but still interesting to know.

That'd also suggest the 80/20 service on Sky would actually run at 80mbps rather than BT's 77.43mbps.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)



All these spikes are really starting to become a serious problem.

I think I'm going to have to switch providers if it carries on like this...

Last Thursday was especially bad:
