Nasty. This is the state of my connection from a few days ago. I've just opened up the new router to allow ICMP pings so we'll see what changes there are now I'm on FTTC.

Any activity your end to explain the packet loss, Zap?

I know what I was doing during the two periods of worst loss, working on a forum installation which would mean virtually no traffic in either direction.

It looks a lot better than FTTC though and over night my ping has gone up three fold.

I'm not sure what to make of it all, things look fine on the BT test but all the other tests I'm doing show problems.

I'm very busy with work so I haven't had the time to take a really good look at it yet but there's certainly a problem somewhere because websites are often unreachable including this one.

Weird. I wonder if you've been affected by the BRAS failure? I don't know whether vDSL traffic routes through them or not.

I think so Rik as the BRAS manages the PPP tunnels as with ADSL.

I'll start looking at it properly over the weekend when I have more time. The periods of total pack loss seem to coincide with all my PCs being off which makes me suspect something is being misreported.
