Recent Network Problems !

Seadog · May 20, 2011, 00:47:20

Hi All,

Just checking that last night just about everyone had severe problems
with the Network, timeouts etc. Gave up last night as it just became
unusable so have attached my BQM from last night and this morning,
to say absolutely Bl..dy Awful is an understatement. Has there been
an official statement as to what happened last night? Thanks

Hi Seadog,

See my thread here (and attached BQM graph that matches yours) - http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,25801.0.html

The cause is faulty nodes in the West Midlands. (Not sure if you live in the area or not but I do).

Hi Griff,

Thanks for the update, yeh just read the thread, I'm on the Crewe Exchange in south cheshire,
maybe it routes through the West Midlands?

Just checked Zens Website and it looks like Monday we are having Line and ATM Cards Exchanged,
I'm not sure if this will affect me as I'm on FTTC like yourself.

BQM back to normal as you can see from last night, just the usual congestion after midnight!!

I'd hoped that the recent increase in capacity that Simon_idnet announced would mean the end of that

IDNet can order virtual capactity (more access to the BT network). I am not sure if the specific problem in this thread is due to physical congestion (not enough exchange equipment)?

I don't know where it's occurring, but there is one thing that I do know:

I see quite a few BQMs over on tbb- that post-midnight packet loss is routine with IDNet, I have yet to see it with any other ISP.

tehidyman · May 21, 2011, 12:10:20

This is a typical BQM on my IDnet connection. Always packet drop between midnight and 2am. Not tried to post a BQM before if it does not work please advise. <a title="Broadband Ping" href="http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/95ace5a904d5de225a2dc83d1f50db35.html"><img alt="My Broadband Ping - Looksee" src="http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share-thumb/95ace5a904d5de225a2dc83d1f50db35.png" /></a>

Thanks, I'll see if this is OK OK Gotit this time thanks.

Whether your wishing to display the live or snapshot graph its the bottom link generated (small graph-BBCode) which if cut'n'pasted will display the graph in a forum post Obviously we can still see it by clicking on the link in your post.

As Steve says, just copy/paste the bottom piece of code straight into your message- there's no need to use any of the "insert hyperlink" or other short-cut icons above the 'reply' window.

tehidyman · May 21, 2011, 15:05:16

Fine - thanks have modified earlier post which crossed. OK now.

Steve · May 21, 2011, 15:06:50

NP

The infamous post midnight packet loss.

zappaDPJ · May 21, 2011, 17:14:25

Although I'm also seeing a lot of packet loss after midnight, throughput for is around 50-75% of normal whereas before it was 10% at best. That doesn't makes sense because if anything the packet loss is more than before. On the plus side for me, at least I'm not being haunted by the BT wholesale page any more.
