What Are All These Spikes?

Have been running this graph for some time, and recent behaviour looks like I have scheduled anti-virus updates running or something, however I don't. Have had lots of visits from OR Engineers, especially when I had standard adsl broadband. So my question is, what do all the spikes mean ? Especially the spikes of packet loss? Is this REIN ? Or simply Sky reaching maximum capacity?

Do you have anything plugged in to your Sky router that does anything on a schedule? For example a Samknows monitoring box, or a TV or games system that is looking for updates etc?

It doesn't look like capacity issues I think given its too regular.

This is still ongoing with our connection at home, 2x PS4s(one wired, one wireless). Laptop running Windows 8 (not 8.1) no antivirus other than windows defender, malwarebytes pro. 2 Sky +HD boxes(one wired, one wireless). And about 3/4 mobile devices including iPad Air.

So what is causing this regular spike in latency. If it's DLM. then it is taking an extremely long time to fix our connection, which had a fault on 29AUG2014, and has yet to get back to the 36MBps it was at previously

Far to regular to be REIN unless there is something electrical on a timer that does off at this period.

More likely to be a device using the connection. Time to turn off wireless and disconnect all Ethernet leads one night, and see what happens.

do you have a samknows box?
