increasing ping times

[coreservers]

the connection has been relatively stable last couple of weeks, but tonight in the middle of some online flight simming. I got kicked off
I treid to re-connect but the lag was awful again. so did a tracert, and ping times etc are all above 50ms

DSLzoneUK is showing a connection of just over 1mb, and BT speedtester wont even load

As you can see on here speed is suddenly dying again down to 648k

[Lance]

That shows that you've had a resync. Its your upload which has dropped to 648k. Have you tried rebooting the router?

[coreservers]

nah the download speeds are manually entered and the dsluk speed tester tests against that. I initially entered teh max line speed at 8mb and it tested at 1010, then entered the actual router sync speed at 7178, and it re-tested at 648k

My connection with IDNet seems fine!

I've had a few oddities as well tonight. BBC iPlayer tells me I have insufficient bandwidth to view programs and I've had some major lag issues with a voice comms program. I don't think it's a problem with IDNet because my speeds are great on a speed test and my pings are well...

Amazing!



I've no idea what the issue might be but it seems to lie outside of IDNet.

[Rik]

Another LINX problem maybe? Has anyone asked support?

[zappaDPJ]

I haven't been in touch Rik but I became suspicious of that low ping which reminded me that I'd swap back to WBC when the last Lynx problem occurred and not swapped back. That connection appears to still have issues so it's probably local to me.

[Rik]

I'll see if there's any news.
