Nothing down my way.

Clean as a whistle down here 'cept for the usual rise in latency when a torrent kicks in. Doesn't affect the green though.

A VM Tech came out and solved my speed issues with a TCP Optimiser.

But he could not understand the problems I get when I power-up the shub in the morning.

He turned on the 5Ghz wifi so that he could see the connection on his mobile. After it rebooted guess what?

The period of on/off/on/off happens after a reboot of the shub2ac too!

The mess on the right of the graph....

So he's gone off to think on it....

As an alternative, instead of turning the shub off & on, you could get a router with the ability to control the Wireless network availibility at various times of the day/week? Less work for you!

This would give you a stable internet connection (unless there are other underlying line problems)

We're all hard-wired here.

Are your speeds still ok?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Tests again this morning show 150dl, 10ul. The connection suddenly went flaky after the tech visit and TCP optimisation, but I found that to be all down to Firefox (random-lockups, slow to connect, etc.) Swapped to Chrome and all is perfect (although Chrome is about to become unsupported for Vista :( ).

The spiky period 18:30-19:30 I'd never seen before.

All the disconnects, etc. around 14:00 were after a reboot of the shub to turn on 5Mhz wifi. First time I'd seen that happen too.

Sounds like it is time to upgrade Windows or the PC considering even Microsoft doesn't actively support Vista anymore.

You could put Windows 10 on there for free if you became a Windows insider.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

From what I've seen and experienced with Win 10, I think I'll stay with Vista as long as possible.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Had Windows 10 since before its release, could never go back to Windows 7,8 and certainly not Vista!

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I'm sorry but how could anyone even be with vista at this point? Yeah 10 is not the best but 7 is basically vista but not broken

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Think about what you just said for a second.

That said, you did blame VM for making your internet speed slower when you used a dodgy Internet (TCP thing) "accelerator" that put a hard limit on your connection speed (Which is why you shouldn't be messing with these settings to begin with!).

Even if Windows 10 isn't for you, 7 is miles better than Vista and is still supported, so the problems with Chrome (And security going forward) will not exist for a good while at least.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

In that case, I guess you could add a cron job on the router to stop & start the WAN service .. see here for using cron on an ASUS

What have some people got against Vista? It's been rock-solid for me with no failures to start, BSD's, Malware problems or corruption.
