1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted June 8, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted June 8, 2011 My broadband is continuing to be a non starter for anything time sensitive, like games/VOIP/video streaming etc.. Turns out that my ISP Virgin Media have oversold in my area and have too many modems on a concentrator in Cambridge, resulting in latency spikes and packet loss of up to 40% between 15:30 and 23:59+ This is a ping monitor courtesy of thinkbroadband.com, the red bits are when packets are lost and the yellow is maximum ping peaks: This is the same graph against the server hosting our site, and moving a steady 10GB a day..

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted June 8, 2011 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted June 8, 2011 It's a 50MB cable.. a very soggy one at that. ADSL would probably be better! Just realised those are live realtime graphs, 100s samples.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
