Please do remember I am not someone who came in off the street. If you're going to ask me to ignore substandard performance for two days without any kind of explanation I'm generally not going to be too receptive.

To be perfectly honest without any kind of explanation that wasn't advice it was a brush off.

Nothing wrong with advice being wrong, if someone offered correct advice all the time they would be omniscient!

I posed the question due to this reply not to posit advice has to be correct all the time.

You considered it a brush off, I would expect a member of the "Cable forum team" to at least know it was incorrect and no settling down/stablisation period is needed for cable.

Erm, I am a member of the CFT, but I am not a network engineer.....

[pip08456]

I'm not a network engineer either!

Never said you were, but it appeared you implied to be a member of the CFT one would need some network knowledge....

He also works for VM tho so the brush off not too surprising.

I wasn't going to mention that.

Load lower, pings lower, speeds higher.

Ping statistics for 194.168.4.100:
Packets: Sent = 10, Received = 10, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 9ms, Maximum = 27ms, Average = 15ms



It seems extremely likely this is a capacity issue and secondary to the reported fault.

Nah it's the modem "settling down"

[pip08456]

As you well know the probability of that is high. Due to the fault though the TBB graph won't be of much help until the fault has been resolved, although it may be now.

You're only an install tech not a network engineer!

No such thing as wrong advice.

Advice is normally based on some kind of knowledge, and there is such a thing as wrong advice.

There is also such a thing as uninformed advice, but enough of the semantics.

7:30am:

Ping statistics for 194.168.4.100:
Packets: Sent = 10, Received = 10, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 8ms, Maximum = 24ms, Average = 11ms

The fault didn't affect me, this is a capacity issue for right now. It's nothing serious, yet, will see if it affects my X-Box later.

You'll all be pleased to know it's settling in beautifully.
