[Simon_idnet]

There has abeen a major power outage in Telehouse North. We have equipment in Telehouse East which was unaffeted but we are now seeing the effects of so many networks being disrupted.

Thanks for the heads up; that explains the current packet loss.  Good info.

ahh, that would explain why things are acting strangly (game wise) - thanks for the info!

Yeh - packetloss is very bad, cant be helped either - out of interest does anyone know why telehoue even bother to have generators/UPS if they never work!?

Cool, I was wandering why my l8nc graph was/is red with packetloss

does this account for my speeds being all over the place today?

I hope so as some sites are taking ages to load and others like this one are as fast as they always are.

Yes it does.  Many packets are being lost in transit at present due to the networks that are up and running being severely overloaded.  There have also been some routing problems as a result, but these seem to be gradually disappearing.  I imagine it'll probably be the end of today before things are approaching back to normal.

Just checked my latency graph and it looks like its fixed.

So when did this occur? Could this be my problem.

Ive had near dialup speeds all weekend. 130kbps on BTs tester several times over 36hrs.
Sync is always around 4000 and d/l speed 2.8-3.0 but since Saturday am its been awful.  But the u/l speeds have been normal.

Results.
Configured d/l speed is 135k
IP profile 135k
DSL connection rate 448 US & 3776 DS
Actual IP throughput achieved for test 106kbps

Have rebooted router several times and left it off overnight but still showing sync at 4048.

Any ideas before I get onto CS tomorrow.

Thanks

thanks, all seems back to normal now
