Broadband quality monitor results - What does it all mean???

Hi,
I have been running a quality monitor on my connection for the last couple of days and it is really quite different to what I was expecting. Please see link below.

I cannot understand what it actually means and there is nothing on the help page suggesting what it might be.

I recently upgraded my Sky Fibre Unlimited package, approximately 30/40mbps, to the Sky Fibre Max and should apparently get 70mbps (I get 32 on a good day).

Can anyone advise their thoughts please?

Kind regards,

Your link isn't working for me.

Sorry about that.

Hopefully this one will work. Its directly off the "share" snapshot graph page

Kind regards

Never seen a graph that looks like that...suggests your average latency is sky high, does ping from a PC from your network also reflect this?

Back to basics.... can you describe the set up for your connection, what's plugged in where on the telephony side, filters etc ?

Can you get any broadband stats from the Sky router ?

Hi,
I have the filters supplied with the latest sky hub in the master telephone socket and a second socket (with no phone connected in this one).
The sky hub is connected directly to the filter in the master socket. I then have an apple time capsule (gen 4) wired into the sky hub, and it was this that I was using to create my wireless network. The graph at the start of this thread was generated from my mac, connected wirelessly, and located on another floor.
Yesterday, I spent time making the sky hub the wireless network thinking that the time capsule was slowing the system down. This was based on seeing the router stats, now shown below.

Router Statistics

Broadband Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 73261 kbps 20000 kbps
Line Attenuation 11.9 dB 0.0 dB
Noise Margin 6.3 dB 8.8 dB

My basis for this was the connection speed (from the sky router) running at the speeds I would expect them to be at.

When I first ran the speed test (off this site, wirelessly through my mac on the new sky network), it came back much improved but now it is running as before. Also, I can no longer set up a monitor that does not have 100% dropped packets. The IP address that the site automatically locates does not work?

Now I am completely at a loss! This is the problem with wading out of your depth now!

NOTE: The BQM graphs are generated independent of any computer, the IP address should be the public Internet address your ISP has given you.

The BQM box pings this IP address, if you have done things like forward that IP or DMZ it then funky things can happy. Only then does it being a Mac and wireless become an issue

Done on the 28th, no other obvious ones for you, and latency looks good. Speeds look low compared to connection speed but that may be a side effect of wireless.

The speed test has an analysis button that will show you its latency testing results in more detail.
