TBB Ping Graphs

[#1]

Just noticed this - I'm on Plusnet Extra Fibre and use the service for general work use and VPNing to work. The family also do a fair bit of streaming, which accounts for the bulk of my bandwidth usage..
Hopefully this is the link

(I've just started the graph so it'll look blank for a while)
Edit; Large Graph link;

Hi between1and16cha,
It looks like you might need to configure your router to respond to pings sent, look at the guide <a href="http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/guides/routers.html">here</a>.

Thanks - yep
I have the TG582n Plusnet fttc (Plusnet supplied) device and I needed to issue

:system config WANMode=ETH WANEthPort=ethif1
:service system modify name=PING_RESPONDER state=enabled log=disabled natpmweight=8

The WAN port was set to ADSL as supplied.
Hopefully thats it working now

That looks better

Large loss spike on most of the graphs this morning about 8.50am, no loss of connection going by my router logs.  But also two large maximum latency spikes at 9am and 12.50pm on a  few of the graphs.
Nothing but my router has been powered up until 40 minutes ago, the router calling home or something else?
edit: and again near midnight on 23rd, fair amount of loss on a few graphs at the same time

Extra fibre with fixed I/P address.
This is now my new fixed I/P address. Please ignore my further postings

Can you move me to Extra 21CN. You might as well leave the section heading for 20CN there as I should be moving back to 20CN in January

This hasn't been done. It looks like being over a month before I move (blooming solicitors!) and at the moment it looks a bit daft because I've amended the name of my monitor on tbb.

I've now adjusted my Router's Firewall & my graph is now producing meaning ful results.

I know it hasn't been done I've been enjoying my time off over the festive season too much to do it!
Will go back over this thread later in the week and tidy up the monitors.

The PN major outage at 10 PM last night changed my IP address to soemthing totally screwy. I've only just realised so here's my latest Ping graph.

Oops, good point! As Jelv says, you really need to be on a fixed IP for this to work.

Putting graphs on to the page is only suitable for those on fixed IPs (until thinkbroadband sort out a suitable approach for people on variable IPs). They've got enough to do without constantly updating the page when someone's IP address changes and they have to set up a new monitor!

[#12]

Thanks Jelv. How do I get a fixed IP? Do I simply ask PN & do I pay/ Are there any other advantages?

Note there is a £5 setup fee.

[#14]

Thanjs jelv. All done & I've amended my post on 27 Dec. Happy New Year.

Mine's turned all red (following today's product change to Fibre Unlimited) although my IP address has not changed.
Hopefully this one works:

[Edit] existing monitor has come back to life so please IGNORE the above request (though graphs need to be re-sorted for new product migrations)
