Increasing consistent small packet loss

[Gary]

I've sent a couple of test mails to and from another account, I'll see what happens to them.

mine arrived ok bill.

[lozcart]

Can't see anything on my BQM but some sites seem to be slow to load tonight and my Apple email not loading, maybe a DNS issue?

[Bill]

It seems I can send email from an IDNet account, but can't receive: "The connection to host pop3.idnet.com on port 110 failed."

It can wait until tomorrow.

[Simon]

It seems there was a DDoS attack last night, which is not connected to the ongoing packet loss issues.  This thread refers.

Please keep this thread strictly for packet loss reporting. 

Thanks.

Here we go again! Yawn!!!!!!

Here we go again! Yawn!!!!!! 

Identical to what I'm seeing. Sigh. I wonder what the reason for today's decline will be,

I now have a confirmed day for my connection with Zen to go live - wish I could speed it up...

[Gary]

Down to 49Mbps  Saying that will all the people moving to Zen I wonder how long before their speeds drop off. Yesterday until the DDoS attack was much better. I wonder what's gone wrong today...

I've to wait until July! Lord grant me patience,but Hurry!

Speeds back to normal. tbh for the sake of a few minutes I'm not bothered today, I would not have noticed unless I came here, its when it happens for prolonged periods its annoying. If people were not clock watching the TBBQM I bet many would not notice the loss of maybe 10Mbps. As to others loosing more, maybe there is congestion as well involved making it worse as the speed drops do vary from person to person. The whole thing is getting boring for me now. Its not right but unless I drop to 20Mbps its not damaging for 5-10 minutes, although it does need to be fixed still.

If someone is targeting IDNet connections, I wonder if they've been looking at this forum and having a bit of amusement with us headless chickens clacking in the coop?

Unless someone like Derp trolling are really really really bored and have no big targets to get headline press with I doubt thats the case. Also no headless chickens here

Speeds went up to mid 70's for a wee while but back to this at my 'hen coop'.

[sobranie]

............... and still dropping.     IDNet categorically state that it's all down to the Winter Olympics.   

[Technical Ben]

Hmmmm. Seems the same here too.


Strange as I was getting the online radio cut off last night, but the graph shows no packet loss then. I suppose I can make do if my usage (programs) are not effected. But it's something I'll have to think hard about. As zero packet loss (and by extension consistent packet speeds with no throttling) was the main and only reason for me to go to IDNet.

[Baz]

yep same here too..........exactly the same pattern  and latency gone back up

IDnet must have very little bandwidth then.......

Download speed achieved during the test was - 68.95 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speed is 55.6 Mbps-69.5 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 69.5 Mbps

[Fizzy]

Got the same packet loss here again too.   



Also noticed since I started monitoring my link that I have quite a big surge in latency roughly every 6 hours.  Not sure what's causing it, and happens when I'm asleep/in work.  I've made sure everything possible is switched off, wireless on my router off etc too.   Odd.   

[zappaDPJ]

I'm still getting a huge amount of packet loss and very slow throughput. In fact the only time the Internet is reliable is between the hours of 2.00am and 10.00am.

[Gary]

all ok here at the mo, Zap,

[Bill]

Mine looked like that last night, but it was the closing ceremony for the Olympics

Speed was down from where it should have been, but not as much as I'd expected from the look of the BQM- maybe a 25% loss.

If Simon is right and the Olympics were the cause of it then it should be a lot better today... time will tell.

[Gary]

My speeds gave been seemed fine over the weekend, but tbh I have not been sitting doing any speedtests or been online that much. But when I was early evening of lunchtime ish things seemed ok, time will tell now as you say the Olympics have finished.

[davecollins]

My speeds aren't great this morning - down to 55 down. That's enough to really feel it.

I noticed a few red blobs appearing on those TBBQM again which were not there over the weekend again, but speed seems ok so far for me...

Can't complain about that... but I'm waiting until after about 4:30 before I think about uncrossing my fingers.
