Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

It's encouraging to hear your gaming has improved even with the low speeds you're getting.

I got BT installing on the 6th May purely for gaming :rolleyes:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I just assumed that because I'm at the end of a couple of miles of copper, that's the reason the ping is as high as it is.

Either way as long as it performs as well as it did last night I will be happy, but the true test will be whether it can sustain me gaming while the wife is on her lappy on you tube and facebook etc.

Time will tell, but if I'm right I think standard definition you tube only uses about 2Mbps??, gaming is next to nothing so I should be ok.

One thing I did notice was that the MTU was set at 1500 and I thought ADSL should ideally be a little lower eg 1472??

Any advice welcome

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

depends on the network, most isps have it set at 1500, but some use 1472, and some even use 1400

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Cheers Craig, I will have a play over the next few days and see if any gains can be had ;)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

call up sky and tell them to reduce your maxdelays pabscars and youll see a big improvement in ping

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Can you give me a little more info Kalleh, is this within Sky's remit to change stuff like this.

Also I have to bear in mind that (according to the literature) I have to wait 10 days for my line to stabilise and during that time my speed will fluctuate.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

pabscars you have proved a point I made before tho.

the point been jitter is king over base latency, you have a high base latency but good jitter hence your improvement in gaming.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yeah if you speak to someone who doesnt know what it is try to speak to either senior support but generally the term used it maxdelay/interleaving.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

max delay and interleaving is a completley different thing. on LLU sky will NOT put you onto a zero interleaving profile whatsoever, i dont even think the staff have the option to, however on the non LLU packages i think they can. on the LLU they have the option of reducing the max delay, from what i remember its from 16 to 8 to reduce ping

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Agreed, fingers crossed it stays that way

---------- Post added at 21:09 ---------- Previous post was at 21:05 ----------

Interesting stuff guys and big thanks for the heads up, so lets say after the settling in period I can ring up Sky (LLU) and ask them to flick a switch or whatever they do to reduce the max delay to 8 and they should know what I'm talking about, will this have any impact on Jitter at all.

Just noticed the Sky monitor has started running again, I don't know why I've not done anything.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

After your earlier post I checked my Infinity graph which was also a mass of red.

Turns out my IP had changed.

Looks like I have to monitor that as I am used to VM IP's being sticky (sort of).

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

It was the first thing I checked pip, no harm done at least it's working again :)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

that is my major gripe with the tbb monitoring, no facility to edit the ip of a monitor. So when I went back to the superhub as the ip was new I had to make a new graph, I expect when I go back to the vmng300 if the dhcp expires so new ip again, it will be yet another new graph.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Unfortunately Yes but it does state quite clearly when setting up a graph that dynamic IP's are not supported.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

edit scrap that my IP has changed :rolleyes:

my bad pip :)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Oooooooooops!:D

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

the dhcp didnt expire so my vmng300 ip is still intact.

ok some superhub vs vmng300 data.

on the attached graph, the vmng300 went live on the middle 'mon' where the grey turns to a fainter colour, the fainter colour indicates less jitter. You can see darkey grey again as when the superhub went back in for the firmware testing.

What is interesting is overall there has been shown a steady improvement in latency/jitter taking modem changes aside. this is more obvious on the 2nd graph. The start of that graph before the upgrade that happened on my port, and even after the sudden improvement at end of february there is a steady improvement on the reported latency and jitter until the latter part of april where it has started rising slightly.

Whilst there is spikes on my smokeping data it is not matching tbb spikes. People can draw their own conclusions but thought it be interesting to show non tbb data on my connection.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

little further update with last 30 hour graph showing change back to vmng300.

The last couple of days on my Vm 30/3 connection


This has become the norm now, and I don't seem to be getting any info back via the CEO's office any more as my last 3 emails have been ignored, either that or there just inundated at the moment.

I don't suppose there is much point continuing with the service, as I'm not using it at all now, I just wanted to help Vm get to the route of the problem if not for my sake but the sake of the other poor sod's on the same port.

I'm guessing it's the same noise issue as before causing the modulation to shift.

On my Sky Unlimited connection all seems as expected apart from I cant get the TBB graph to stay up and running for long before it returns constant packet loss, or my IP addy changes but from the bit here it looks ok.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...28-04-2011.png

I might try turning the firewall off for a bit to see if that helps, but apart from downloads taking an expected age (1.53Gb from xbox live took an hour), gaming seems very good.

I hosted a 4 player match on MW2 (xbox) the other night with no issues at all, and I'm temporarily hooked up wirelessly.

Freaky, it's suddenly started working again,,,, maybe the guys at TBB have just rebooted a server or something because when I checked before there appeared to be no data, now there is and for the previous days also.

No worries anyway, as of today I will taking no pleasure in cancelling my Vm BB, it's been a roller coaster for sure but I cant justify having 2 suppliers and the Sky BB is doing just fine so one must go unfortunately.

The TBB monitor has shown that the noise issues I've had are still outstanding and no info is forth coming from the CEO's office so what's a guy to do.

Not as good as the one at your old gaff igni

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Minimum latency means nothing, I'm just across town from the servers doing the pinging. It just means that when it polls one of them manages to get through and get responded to in a timely fashion, unfortunately others get delayed by up to 40ms.

It's actually rather bad that minimum latency is so low, the jitter and out of order packets / datagrams will play hell with gaming.

Why would pinging an IP address be illegal?

No, not in the slightest.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

pinging an ip address a couple of times isn't illegal, but there has to be something against monitoring someone's ping 24/7, it effectively using someone elses connection without their permission

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I'll repeat that it's not illegal to ping someone, even if it's done frequently.

If you can find anything within the law that suggests otherwise I'll be happy to stand corrected.

I'm not using their network without permission, WAN side ping is on, I have not circumvented any kind of security mechanisms to do so and am not causing degradation to their service, therefore no violation of Computer Misuse Act.

what router or modem combination are you using?

do you have anything else connected that might be causing it?

Works well like I say but gaming suffers with the slightly unstable ping

And no, I don't have anything else connected to it. It's the same every day. Someone on the VM forums mentioned it might be that other users nearby are using theirs more during the spiky periods

Utilisation

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

is there a reason you can think off why it looks like congestion building up at 3am then suddenly dissapears in an instant? I wonder if it had switched to qpsk on upstream and then back again. Also the rugged min latency that starts after midnight post shaping, I also wonder if you also have downstream congestion.

---------- Post added at 16:24 ---------- Previous post was at 16:18 ----------

pinging in that it denies service eg. a DOS or DDOS yes but something like the TBB monitor is perfectly legal.

People ping services like bbc.co.uk all the time without specific permission.

---------- Post added at 16:28 ---------- Previous post was at 16:24 ----------

I commented on this in a previous post in this thread. In my view its to do with the vmng300 it seems to jump in between 2 modes in how it handles pings. If I run tests during a jump it is no significant difference from when it is really low, and is actually usually slightly better than when its low.

I can have tbb showing jitter of about 10ms then run pingtest.net and get 1ms, and I have posted pings on this forum numerous times lately showing very low jitter like on ignition's thread. So in my view when it jumps down thats the real jitter, and when it jumps up the operational mode changes to deprioritise the packets. What I have no idea on is if its the dir615 or the vmng300 as the vmng300 should simply be passing through the packets with no processing at all. However when I used the dir615 with my old 20mbit modem I did not see this pattern.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

ok so on this pic I drawn a redline showing where it would be without the jumps, it seems to bear little relation to off peak and peak as I dont think my port is lower utilised at 4pm than at 5am, the jump after midnight was me uploading something so ignore that.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

cant be anything to do with the modem, it doesnt do that for me, what firmware is the router running?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

the dir615 is using ddwrt 14929 with SPI fw disabled.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

have you tried a newer version of DDWRT?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I have but rolled back as all newer builds have some nasty bugs.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

im using the very latest build on my Asus RT-N16, the only issue is uPnP, which is a known issue, and uPnP is disables by default, and iv left it there and had absolutely no problems. have you though of trying others like tomato, i keep meaning to give it a go but never get round to it

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

you forgot the wireless issue where ddwrt have decided to hard line stick to rfc specs meaning many users cannot get full speed N performance, and the few firmware builds where the ethernet ports completely stopped working O_o. :) I read reports from others of various features not working in random 15x and 16x builds so reverted to the latest reccomended version from the main dev which is 14929. For what its worth tho I did use a newer firmware with the vmng300 before I downgraded and the ping graph had the same patterns. Your graph also has the patterns and you use a asus router.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

iv just tried flashing tomato and I think iv bricked my router I can't get an up address wired and its not broadcasting wireless, any ideas?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I thought I bricked mine when I rolled back to 14929. What happened was I had the ddwrt ip set to 192.168.1.253, the default is 192.168.1.1.

After the flash it seemed to be using a mixture of the 2 for different functions and did respond to pings but was not accessible on the gui. and on dhcp etc.

I ended up doing the 30/30/30 reset which recovered it. So i would try that first, bit of a pain to do as I had to find something to hold the emergency reset down in that hole but ended up finding something to use.

There is a emergency flash tool which can be used, apparently supposed to run it whilst the router is booting up as is available for a small window during boot to accept a new flash. Info should be on ddwrt site somewhere for that.

--edit--

you using tomato so the recovery procedures I used may not be available.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I'll try a 30-30-30 tomorrow.

I would use a telnet, or use another up, but the router is bricked, for now anyway. I'm hoping clearing the nvram will sort it, but my computer just gets an autoconfiguration ip and no gateway

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

sync speed doesnt affect ping that much, it was a long line that was unstable on most isp's.

The isp was ukonline and 2 things where important to that graph.

1 - they utilised SRA (seamless rate adaption) technology which means if a noise burst or something occurs that would normally either cause the line to drop or get packetloss then SRA silently in the background with no downtime adapts the sync speed. It can go up as well as down. Ukonline is the only isp in the UK to ever supply this, at least confirmed.
2 - it was on the easynet network which is probably the best quality network in the UK in terms of capacity vs subscriber numbers. Its the same network that sky use for skybb who are able to supply true unlimited with no FUP, shaping etc. In addition easynet have excellent peering links worldwide, they have various POP's around the world.

Sadly ukonline got closed down by sky in jan 2011, the same can be got from easynet connect but is at a mere £200 connection fee £50 a month (used to be £100 month).

The line in question synced on average between 5.4mbit and 7.2mbit. (got nowhere near 7mbit the last 6 months as line had serious degradation, even SRA was struggling to keep stable).

I'm still playing QuakeWorld mostly which is largely based on servers in denmark and sweden, and get about 23-25ms to servers in denmark/southern sweden and a little higher to Stockholm.

not as good tho ;) you have a steady stream of packetloss there, SRA would likely prevent that. BE decided to not adopt SRA like nearly every isp, instead they concentrate on what works best for short lines.

Base latency can and does get lower than adsl, jitter is the main issue.

here is some examples to bbc.co.uk.

Current VM connection - 13ms
ukonline - 9ms
xilo - 20ms
aaisp - 25ms
entanet - 25ms

all those fast path, bt wholesale's network seems to have very odd routing to london, with interleaving it wasnt unusual for me to have latency above 40ms. Of course low latency is near useless if jitter is excessive.
