Re: Just joined from BE - ping spikes making gaming unplayable

Have you completed a disconnect and reconnect from inside your router? This might just kick in the speed profile change I've made.
It will do it automatically but doing that manually may speed the process up.

Re: Just joined from BE - ping spikes making gaming unplayable

That did the trick - thanks Chris  :).
How do we stop it happening again?

I'll have a think and let you know what we can do to try and get around it Smiley

OK, thanks.
What is the delta (difference?) report in any case? How often can I expect this to happen if we don't do anything?

The Delta Reports come through from our suppliers. It looks at what your profile is set to on their systems and automatically updates the profile set on our side to what it should be.
It would only update if your connection drops sync.

Re: Just joined from BE - ping spikes making gaming unplayable

Hello PN admins - my problem is back again. Please reset my profile. Is there any chance of a permanent solution to this? Why can't I have this profile as a default?

Hi there,
I've changed your profile to match, I'll take a look into this to see if there's anything that can be done. I know Chris Pettitt was looking into this too, I'll catch up with him.

Hi froug,
It's at 4500 on BTs side but 7150 on ours, so that won't be slowing anything down at all. Unless you mean you'd like them to match, in order that the traffic prioritisation works correctly?
EDIT: I've matched the profile on our side to 4500 after receiving instructions Smiley

Re: Just joined from BE - ping spikes making gaming unplayable

Thanks Matt, that's done the trick.
However - I'm confused. Not tricky, I'll admit. I was referring to the the profile that controls the traffic prioritisation used which (I assumed, possibly incorrectly) was unrelated to line speed. However, mention of 4500 and 7150 and you saying 'slowing anything down' makes me think you're fiddling with something that controls ADSL line speed, not traffic prioritisation. Can you explain or point me at some documentation that explains?

Make sense?
Matt just confused stuff by getting the wrong end of the stick when seeing your latest post Smiley

Thanks Kelly.
Once again, can a PN admin please reset my PN speed profile? My lag whilst streaming has reappeared. Any progress on making this stick?

What is your BT profile at?  (from the BT speedtester?)

Re: Just joined from BE - ping spikes making gaming unplayable

Dave grabbed it.
Strangely, we keep resetting your profile to 8000.  This isn't normal, and might actually be a problem with the feed we are getting from BT.
I've pushed it back down and we are investigating.
