IDNet network problems

[Bill]

Some impact here, but not disastrous (usual is ~65Mbps):



Wonder if it's something like this again?

[Gary]

mines sped up to 2.9Mbps but pages are just not loading properly, packetloss I assume.

Interesting graph from a BT FTTC connection, completely unrelated to IDNet in attachment.

Ooer, missus, not looking good here

Getting this


This is on FTTC that normally gives approx 50mbps down

Ouch, mines crept up to 4Mbps now 

[Bill]

Mine seems to be getting back to normal now... wonder if Microsoft pushed out a Windows 10 update?

In which case this could get to be a not-infrequent occurence

[Adrian]

Oh, my! I think I'll go and find my old dial up modem

Windows 10 updates are peer to peer so should not cause this issue at all I would have thought.

Ah, fair enough... my LAN is (almost) a Microsoft-free zone so I wouldn't know these things

I only know because I was reading about it, I don't have any Microsoft gear anymore  I thought my line was getting better now it seems to have slowed again

By default, yes, but I reckon most savvy users would disable that option so as to avoid bandwidth consumption.

It does seem to hammer your upstream according to reports on the web. Best to disable Wi-Fi Sense too "Windows 10 Wi-Fi Sense feature shares your Wi-Fi network with your friends" Windows 10 as far as I can tell so far is a bit of a unruly monster.

[Gary]

Still only 13Mbps, has IDNet had anything to say on this?

[Gary]

well my speeds have still not recovered I should be getting 63Mbps or there abouts downstream

Windows 10 and a new working week breaks Internet

[armadillo]

Seems to be back to normal(ish) speed - at least for the moment - who knows if it will last.

A Microsoft attack on the internet then

If you leave all the default settings as they are, you're practically broadcasting every key stroke to Microsoft and goodness knows who else.  Fortunately, there plenty on t'internet on how to turn the spying off.

im still happy with OS X I don't think would ever go back to windows now it's been six years since I changed over from Windows.

back to sub 2mb here usually 17-18

[jameshurrell]

Yep, packet loss back again.



What's strange is that the other IDNet line I monitor is not seeing the PL this morning. I just wonder if my exchange is being hit extra hard or something.... whatever it is (and can this really be all attributed to Windows 10???) it's annoying. VOIP calls are dropping out, Spotify is glitching which it never does and web pages are loading like treacle.

[Gary]

Getting fed up of this, TBB was showing this as Windows 10 being the issue but it makes basic browsing almost impossible. I'm wondering if AAISP and Zen are floundering with this as well. I'm usually hitting 64 Mbps and I was before 9am
