Re: You are currently Off Line----Your internet connection is Unstable---

Also remember Zoom is streaming live video so its ability to buffer content is extremely limited. It can do a bit (you may notice sometimes other people on your call seem to start talking faster - this is Zoom trying to catch you up to the live conversation if you’ve been lagging) but nothing like, say Netflix on your TV.

We get this a lot because we rely on 4G for fast internet at home. It’s very fast, all things considered (typically 75mbps down, 15 up, occasionally 100 down and 30 up) but susceptible to occasional, momentary drop outs. The TV in the lounge has of course buffered so much that you never notice, but Zoom, which can’t buffer to any significant degree, can be a bit choppy.

As per the link Paul posted, however, there are other things on your home network that can start soaking up bandwidth and interfering with Zoom even if your internet connection is quite stable. With Zoom, the upload is especially vulnerable because you get a lot less upload bandwidth from your broadband. Have a read of it and see what comes up.

Re: You are currently Off Line----Your internet connection is Unstable---

Cable is inherently a jittery technology as it's a broadcast network, so it has to handle upload by allocating a time window for your modem to 'speak' in, which is contrary to how things like VOIP, games and Videocalling wants a network to work.

Some things can be inside your network, but if your VM segment is congested then you can suffer quite bad jitter.
