to further ignition's point even if you reach their threshold, they can and do sometimes cancel relief tickets if you fall below the threshold again, it seems the area has to be in a very bad state before they do relief work.

I have had 2 tickets closed in the past month without relief work done. Tech support just made a 3rd.

I just contacted them to confirm the fix , and that had confirmed it had been done. Now ive noticed a reduction in ping but the actual issue is still there its still all over the place , a few ping tests later i explained to the tech support guy and he said just wait for the fault to be closed down , and it could be a matter of the fault waiting to settle down.

Now that's not to say that having bad ping and especially packet loss is acceptable especially where it degrades a service. Infinity may be better now while not many are on it, what's going to happen when that service gets really busy?
games dont use icmp.

I just read your later posts so it seems you managed to get some upgrade work done?

your graph doesnt look very good but we dont know what it was like before the upgrade work so cant really comment if they fobbed you off or actually did do some work.

Re: Can you see something wrong here? *Video*

So ive given it a good few days to run various test , mainly personal tests in games to see whether or not any things changed , and i can honestly say not a single thing has :/ Its probably worse now than it was before. The utilization seems to have settled a bit.

Before:


After:



Every things just worse in game , everything gittering , constant spikes now which werent happening before , physical spikes where the game pauses for a few seconds and eventually balances out.

Looks like when the post office install there phoneline next week imma start hunting for a new isp.

Y'know if you used the "Share" button in TBB it'd generate a graph without your IP address on it so you wouldn't have to try (and fail) at blanking it out?
