Although I have never witnessed it personally, there seems to be a little latency spike about every 5 hours and 45 minutes. Would that be DLM related?

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not Cable)
 

I dunno? I have a feeling it might be the sky router sending it's credentials to the server.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not Cable)
 

It wouldn't be DLM. DLM gives you a red line once a day between 2am and 6am.

From a couple of months ago now, I dont leave the monitor running 24/7 I dont see the point :)

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not Cable)
 

I do, lets you proactively see any developing faults and essentially gives you a constant log of past issues as well. In my case for example I can tell when interleaving was switched on my line and its exact effect.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Thought it should be obvious as this is in the sub section Other ISPs Discussion. Figured with just Cable in the title only we could keep the Smallworld riffriff out too ;)

This!

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Fair point gents but the other reason I failed to mention was the router stops responding to pings when the DMZ is used.

I use the DMZ pretty much all the time so it's not always convenient

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Yeah, I wouldn't keep running it at the cost of actually impairing the usability of your own network. But when it affects nothing and can be of benefit I always leave it running.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Can't figure out how to set up a TBB one, but:

Fastpath but dodgy BT routing means latency higher than it should be. Used to get 6ms on Be fastpath. :(

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

I keep mine running but now dont check it much.

My graph is pretty much the same as Qas's except I have a thicker blue line which suggests I have a bigger gap between min and average latency. Is a bit odd but its nothing major.

My graph is fast path but like driz some may be mistaken for thinking its interleaved due to BTw routing. Also in terms of yellow spikes that seem at regular intervals it could be router related, my billion 7402NX when I was using it had yellow spikes on my FTTC, but now on the asus rt-n16 they gone.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...18-12-2012.png

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Do a traceroute? 20ms doesn't look like fastpath to me, then again fastpath doesn't exist on FTTC

---------- Post added at 10:35 ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 ----------

Differences like that tend to be down to differences in the way our two routers handle pings. That's not unusual, the constant yellow fluff on Sagem routers is another example (e.g. Sky)

---------- Post added at 10:40 ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 ----------

BT may use N+N redundancy which means load is always spread across all available paths (including the backup ones) even when the main isn't faulted. Just my speculation.

In any case it varies a lot based on IP, and reconnecting your PPPoE session can change your ping quite a bit. I've seen differences of +/- 5ms even when connected to the same PPPoE gateway. Mine varies between 18ms minimum and 23ms maximum depending on my IP so when my session drops (if ever) I tend to redial frantically till I get one with the lowest latency then keep it there :-P

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

This is a few months old, but it hasn't changed much:

This is the reverse from a VPS in London (again a bit old):

Keep in mind I live in zone 3 southwest London and my traffic is going via Sheffield...

Also - I get the same gap between blue/yellow as Chrysalis, which is a bit weird. Didn't get it on Be using the same router (Billion 7800N). Could be down to EWAN vs ADSL on the router but in reality probably not, more mystery BT network shenanigans! :)

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

these first hops on BT without rdns are very annoying when doing traceroutes from a windows machine as windows waits 5 seconds on those hops. So now I do my FTTC traceroutes on my router as that doesnt pause when no rdns.

I see driz got round it by adding the ips to hosts file :)

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Yeah you're right, that is funny BT routing.

That said the routing may be the cause of the extra blueness, if different packets come back different ways and therefore take different times. I do tend to find a lot of flapping around on my BT "routing".

As long as the first one isnt missing a T :Oh:

With the openreach fibre rollout being so recent and done so quickly I would assume most of the equipment is the same in each area. No idea if BT has mixed equipment due to cheaper deals or better equipment coming out since they started the rollout.

For what it's worth, here's my Sky Fibre graph (from Cheltenham).

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2013/02/21.png

The blip is me flatlining it to try and make a VM style dent in the graph, no comparison really :D. This is still stock with a locked Huawei modem and the not-quite-as-bad-as-the-Superhub "Sky Hub", haven't got around to putting my 'proper' hardware behind it. Very impressed.

Averaging ~11ms ping to London, awesome for gaming. VM from here was ~20ms at best due to some arse end of nowhere style routing.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

If you unlock the Huawei modems you can disable QoS and get yourself some more upstream bandwidth

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

I've been having a nightmare with my Sky Unlimited line for the past few weeks. Noise levels keep fluctuating from the target of 7db to 1db on the downstream. The upstream level was showing as 102db:dozey: the other day.

Have tried a replacement router and still the same. Also see my gaming profile was removed this morning as my ping is higher. Speaking to Sky is like banging my head off a brick wall.:rolleyes:

Its only recently i have been having issues. Normally the graph is very stable with next to no packet loss but for some reason there has been lots of packet loss recently and i'm at a loss to explain whats causing it. Have sent an email to Sky's executive team to see if they can resolve as i keep getting conflicting information from the call centres.

Look at todays packet loss its slowly getting worse.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Just did an unlock, max attainable for my line is 86/28, which is not bad when BT quoted 56/20. Also disabled QoS (did get the vaunted upload boost) and used Wireshark to dump the DHCP Option 61 stuff from my Sky Hub. Just need to configure my router with it and I can finally bin the Sky crap :cool:

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Still using the Sky hub and locked modem as everything just worked fine anyway. Had read how to unlock the modem before and had the firmware downloaded so figured I would give it a try just now....turns out I have the ECI modem and not the Huawei model :(

Only had a quick look but seems to be no straight forward way of doing the ECI B-FOCus V-2FUb/r Rev B

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

its a pain and the new ECI's also are not very good unlocked, openreach had the firmware really gutted out. eg. the 2nd lan port cannot be made to work, no way to get error stats, no gui, and there is no configuring qos, lan ip etc.

The good news is tho the ECI doesnt need a QoS adjustment to get full upload speeds, it gets full speeds out of the box. Only the HG needs unlocking for that.

*jealous*

your 56/20 to 86/28 more favourable than my higher estimated 65/20 to 73/24. Although I initially had 110/36.

I have decided to report my line as a fault now because I have found a issue affected by the voice which gives me a plausible reason to call in, I will do this after I have been moved over to the new totally unlimited infinity product.

I did find out from openreach staff tho the 2 reasons for the current line state I have. When I was on 110/36 my dslam wasnt even configured at all with the adsl power cutback modes, so when I got installed half a dozen adsl customers went offline, this makes me really wish I got my graphed data at the time so I would have seen the lack of power cutback on the adsl frequencies. So 90/36 is my real attainable I am trying to get back. The 2nd sync drop off happened when openreach did a power cutback on my upstream signal, they have now admitted to doing this, they do this in high crosstalk areas and my pair is conflicting with another thats further away from the cabinet so my signal was cutback to thelp the other. However they insist they didnt cutback the downstream signal and it seems that was weakened with the upstream power cutback (as both went down at same time). Incidently my cabinet is still closed for new orders now for over a month so I think they still considering making adjustments even tho they told me the case i closed. The fault I am going to report is a possible HR fault (high resistance) as I am seeing the snrm go down when the phone is in use, when the guy shows up I will ask for a pair swap and then hope this sorts out the crosstalk conflict issue. I hesitated to do this tho as asking for pair swaps can make things worse and my line is very stable.

Heres a snapshot of mine now that I'm running Openwrt firmware on my WRT610N router, I set it up but after a while I realised it was buggering up my port forwarding (that I'd finally figured out) so turned TBB off.

No surprise but my minimum latency has improved a tad

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Ignore the red spike it was I rebooting the router. I can only assume Openwrt assumed the pings from TBB were a threat and shut down my port forwarding rules but I'm just guessing.

That is just shocking. 20 minutes full speed use then slowed down to 40% of your speed for 5 hours :shocked:

Are we just spoilt being Sky customers or are VM treating their customers bad? Getting an idea of how the upper class look down their nose as others now...

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Thats providing you can reach full speed, having looked at the VM forum it looks like the national meltdown is getting worse, there were only a couple of areas congested when 50mb was launched, now it looks like its the entire network

Dont forget that Sky had utilisation issues on a large part of their network however all those issues were resolved within 1 to 5 weeks. VM's initial fix dates arent even that quick and I havent seen 1 case where the 1st date has been met

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Most VM TBB graphs don't look half as bad as they did a year or two ago...

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

I disagree, whist some of the better graphs do look even better, presumable with upstream capacity being added, there are still a lot of graphs that look very bad

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

I'm talking about the days when graphs like this and this and this and this were a daily occurrence, and graphs literally filled with yellow weren't that rare either.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

What Craigie said.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Pure guesswork but I take it your mate lives at the end of a very long (a few miles) piece of copper from the exchange judging by that base latency (either that or a fault possibly) , probably gets about 1 mbps download speed so dead easy to max his line out and make the TBB graph look pants.

Maybe the more knowledgeable gentry could expand on my suggestion :)

Also, what exchange is your mate connected too, it might be one that's suffering from hi demand.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

That is the highest constant minimum latency I have seen. Some kind of adsl connection at the furthest distance any isp would dare to accept the connection?

The 6pm to 4pm looks like heavy usage as its ok the rest of the time, bar the high min latency

---------- Post added at 18:20 ---------- Previous post was at 18:19 ----------

I replied not seeing your post as it was on the next page, but I was obviously thinking along the same lines as you :D

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

The line would have to be 6000km long to cause that kind of latency.

The latency is nothing to do with line length, it's the interleaving that is the problem.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

++line length = more interleaving required = higher latency

So line length is a factor ;)

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Line length does not require interleaving, interference and noise does.

I've seen more interleaving on a 90m line than a 1900m line.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

Still a strong positive correlation between line length and quality, there may be exceptions but on the whole...

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

I agree with you, Craigie. To put it politely, Qasi's peeled the onion back one layer; putting it otherwise, he's nitpicking again!

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

I disagree. There is a strong correlation between line length and attenuation, nothing else.

Re: Post Your Fibre Think Broadband Ping Graphs (Not VirginMedia Cable)
 

FYI, my Sky phone line developed a fault on Friday resulting in an earth fault external to the property, the phone was dead (but noisy), and the broadband was working OK ish, voice chat on xbox live was poor though as my mates kept saying I was breaking up.

Anyway I reported it too Sky about 5:30 on Friday evening, and by lunchtime Saturday it was fixed. It turned out to be a faulty twisted pair coming from a post some 5 meters away, whilst hear the engineer put fresh connectors on all our streets phone lines and the results are below, a thumbs up for Sky tech support, the BT Openreach engineer was fantastic, polite and professionally (took him 2.5 hours to find and fix the fault).

Nice result considering,
