Congestion?

My Broadband Ping

Maybe but if it was I'd expect there to be a fairly solid block of congestion between 7-10pm and a slow gradual rise and decline.

Those spikes suggest heavy usage on your connection at certain times. Anyone in the house uploading large files?

nope... not then.

but will ensure that it's traffic free for another test...

Nothing was on last night...

Here's what I believe is exchange congestion on the Kenton exchange:

Typically every day from around 4pm to 12am it's awful.

If that is congestion then looks like around 9pm a lot of people stopped using their connection.

That's what congestion tends to look like on the ping monitor. When there was congestion in my area on Mon-Thu the congestion, at it's peak, usually ran from around 6pm to around 11pm, Friday was 5pm-1am, Sat was 3pm-2am and Sun was 4pm-1am.

The cut offs were quite well defined like the ping graph that was posted.

Looking at their BQM now - yes clearly looks like congestion, they posted a live share link rather than a snapshot, so graph is now different to the one I originally commented on.

Current graph is showing VERY high average latency to the extent packets are timing out and showing as packet loss

Which one are you replying to guys?

here's the latest...

I assume the red block is because my IP has changed... dunno... no complaints from the other half to say the internet is dead...

In your case the solid block is a change of IP or router has stopped responding
