More speed problems today

[andrue]

Hmmm, slightly better result now but not where it should be:



I spoke to Support who said they hadn't had many other phone complaints but knew about the forum posts. Simon was apparently not answering his phone so is perhaps working on it atm. I'm seeing a lot variability so perhaps that's Simon swapping cables and reconfiguring routers 

[Bill]

Mine is still 'orrible:

[jane]

I am on adsl2+ so the speeds have not been duly affected lately but the packet loss is still there.

[Gary]

Mines all over the place again... Fed up is not the phrase I would use, but its the only one that wont set the forums swear monitor off 

[sobranie]

Red curtain in the descendancy once more.

My connection has been really good all afternoon in terms of throughput but the amount packet loss is horrible. My phone line was reinstated this lunchtime having been down all week (although I was still able to connect to the Internet). According to BT they had to replace a 120m cable but it seems they were able to do that without disrupting my connection. Whether that has some bearing on my improved connection I don't know but I'm starting to wonder if that was the main cause of all my issues rather than the lack of capacity

The packet loss is showing on all the IDNet BQMs on http://craigswebsites.co.uk/ping/

I hope the idnet support people see this.

Their latest email included the following:

"So far we have seen some mixed results some seeing an improvement while others are still having issues."

[psp83]

Yep.





Seems to be ok now, been out in meetings most of the day, so can't really comment on earlier performance.

[Gary]

Its always this time of day it seems to pick up

Everyone has left work 

[davecollins]

Except for those of us who work from home :-)

[psp83]

true & like me are probably still sat infront the computer (or doing whatever work they do from home) still working at 7pm on a friday night 

[Lance]

I've only just left my desk in the office

[zappaDPJ]

That's probably the best place for it Lance

[Lance]

[andrue]

Hmmm. This looks hopeful:

[jane]

Is it a coincidence that I am being bombarded by emails from PlusNet on my idnet email address?

[Bill]

[Gary]

All ok here Bill at the moment  of course that could change 

[Bill]

It comes and goes a bit, but the packet loss shouldn't be there, and it's showing up on http://craigswebsites.co.uk/ping/ too, but only for IDNet.

I'm getting the packet loss too now 

[davecollins]

Me too. Again.

[Bill]

I'm also getting some packet loss (not severe, but more than there used to be) showing on another site that runs a "sort-of" BQM- this one: http://ipv6-test.com/pingtest/

But I'm not sure if it works if you haven't got IPv6 and it's real-time only, so no stored results to link to.


edit-

Cancel that comment- it's ranging up to 5% now, I'd call that severe.

I wonder if there's a router or something beginning to turn its toes up?

[sobranie]

Not really surprised! Toddling along at 10Mbps at the mo., d/l a film at 31 kBs and u/l at 100 kBs, I really should just use idnet for speed tests and nothing else!!!!
