Snap

"You are currently connected to gateway ptw-bng01. This is located in Telehouse West"

That packet loss spike at noon today is odd. I don't know whether that means they were carrying out some work.

@chenks76

My format of the meter display doesn't look like that and how did you get it into the forum, please?

Re: High packet loss and other DNS issues

It has the up and down green like yours but at the righthand side has a vertical green and red block.

@Bob1

I had that spike (old network, static IP, ptn-ag03)  just before noon. So did plenty of others if you look at the community TBB page https://community.plus.net/t5/custom/page/page-id/_PingGraphs

Re: High packet loss and other DNS issues

I only recently set up TBB (dynamic IP old network) and have noticed that some loss spikes can't be down to plusnet.

 

I too got one before 12 today, but on thinkbroadband.com forums there are people on different ISPs who have a link in their sig. Looking at one from aaisp I see they got a spike at exactly the same time. So I can't blame Plusnet for that. Maybe it's TBB it's self, or BTW, or something routing between TBB and BTW

Re: High packet loss and other DNS issues

What is your downstream bandwidth though?

 

I think people with high rates should see less yellow streaming, but then "streaming" will mean different things depending on the quality/bitrate/number of streams.

Re: High packet loss and other DNS issues

well i'm only on ADSL (around 13Mbps), but trying to work out if this problem affects us ADSL users too.
mostly streaming radio from iplayer all day.
i was moved over the new network a while ago (and i have a static IP).
