Packet Loss on 50mb connection - Page 3

qasdfdsaq · 05-02-2011, 12:44

4ms to 10ms jitter is pretty much normal for VM. It's pretty much bang on the national average.

that what i thought myself yeah, but still this "unknown" packet loss still get to me that i cannot seem to see a way of resolving it.

Hi Petronia,

Interestingly I am experiencing very similar issues to you. I didn't see your thread at the time of posting mine, hence the duplicate titles!

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12...onnection.html

I tested my latency and packet loss using an application called PingPlotter - have you tried that? It gives you a much friendlier graphic illustration of where/when packets are being dropped.

I'm also in the same boat as you - I have no idea how to resolve this and it's causing me a nightmare as I need to run a fully legal/licensed audio stream 24/7 - That is not possible at the moment so a lot of money is going down the drain.

Yeah, I'm still puzzled what could be causing it. I'm thinking it won't be MTU but I'm not 100% sure.

Could you sign up for a TB ping monitor (http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/), leave it running for a day or so and let us see the results?

Petronia · 05-02-2011, 14:49

will give PingPlotter a go then i will do the thinkbroadband test when i go to sleep and get result out of it when i wake up (later tonight that is)

Here the result of PingPlotter of www.bbc.co.uk

was my result from thinkbroadband
it show alot of packet loss but not big one just small one.

Hi Petronia,

have you ever monitored your upstream power levels? Try looking at them over a day to see if they bounce around.

I think this may be my cause. My upstream can be 43, 48, 51, 56, 57, 47 - and it moves around like that all day. So I've managed to get a technician out since I've proven that to them.

Might be worth monitoring it, it's hopefully the cause.

Petronia · 07-02-2011, 19:33

where would i find this upstream power levels to monitored it?

This thread seems to have been going on for a while and the only thing I can see that may be worth trying is setting up port forwarding to your PC. (on the port the games uses obviously)

I have to admit I don't know how to do this on a superhub, or even if you can - as I haven't gotten my filthy little hands on one yet...

It has been reported by those that have that it can be done.

did the port forwarding and yet no help there :< feel sucky that i cannot seem to enjoy the game meant to be.

How did you do the port forwarding Petronia, did you assign a static IP to your PC, then assign that IP with the port forwarding rules in the superhub?

Petronia · 12-02-2011, 07:29

right sorry for the delay response, I myself did not change the port forwarding since I am not actually advance with that kind of stuff but a friend of mine had a go and fiddle about to see if he can try get around the packet loss issues, and he end up with the same result I am getting right now.

but i am still open for more suggestion on how to resolve this issues if there a way around it to fix this issues i am having because I recently stop playing one or two games because of the packet loss and well...it just not fun with the issues.

qasdfdsaq · 12-02-2011, 12:21

There's obviously a problem somewhere, only I can't figure out where it is. Did you ever get the thinkbroadband ping monitor running? I haven't seen any results from that. If that's showing major issues it might be worth raising with second-line over at the VM support forums.

Petronia · 12-02-2011, 17:16

yeah the result is above if you check my previous message 4 post ago I think or you cannot see it?
