Re: jitter and packet loss

I've just had a look at this and from first glance it seems like you're maxing out the upload on your account. Can you try stopping any uploads you're doing and try testing your ping again?
Your upload speed is also lower than I'd expect so I'm going to uncap it for you, this should complete on Monday.

Re: jitter and packet loss

It's possible it could be the after effects of the torrent with others still trying to download from your son's PC, but I would have thought that would have ended by now.
Have you looked at the error counts being logged by your router?

Re: jitter and packet loss

The upload uncap has completed so that should help.

Re: jitter and packet loss

Excellent, I was hoping it'd be something like a torrent when I saw the upload initially.
