What's with the reliability lately?

That is my current graph

Perhaps I'll keep my fingers crossed for a while longer...

Isn't Glenn's graph fairly typical for an adsl connection though?

Bill · Feb 04, 2011, 10:13:59

Is there such a thing as a typical adsl connection though? My graph has always been pretty free of nasty yellow spikes...

More typical of a medium-congested exchange, I'd say.

Looks like your packet loss went away along with the lag spikes, Bill. Sounds like an overcongested path or something. Either things got balanced out a bit better or a router fixed? I have no idea.

Bill · Feb 04, 2011, 10:51:35

I thought about a congested path, but the worst (highest and longest) spike usually occurred at about 4am... I prefer a gently dying router getting fixed.

Or maybe BT finishing some work, I doubt I'll ever know

Rik · Feb 04, 2011, 10:55:32

Not unless you consult Mystic Meg, Bill.

Bill · Feb 04, 2011, 11:11:42

I wouldn't dream of trespassing on BT's forecasting department

My latency spikes seem to have gone away...

So either switching to OpenDNS and back cured it (unlikely) or whatever was causing it has finished/been fixed

How about the others who've been seeing a similar effect?

Router reset?

Maybe... but it wasn't mine

Gary · Feb 04, 2011, 11:58:45

Oddly last night idnetters at about 2am was off the grid, even using 'down for everyone or just me' said it was unavailable

switched back to IDnets DNS so will see what happens now.

Rik · Feb 04, 2011, 12:00:38

There was a server problem at 2:03, Gary.

Ahh I did wonder, saying that I should have been in bed anyway.

Rik · Feb 04, 2011, 12:04:14

Exactly.

Crikey Gary and I thought I had obscure surfing habits.

Exactly.

But if I was in bed I would not have noticed server issues, it would maybe have slip past in the binary night unnoticed, except by you and idnet ~~dungeons~~ towers

Until the server falls over, then it has a rest

We don't allow that, Gary.
