BQM Interpretation Help

I've posted the graph below hoping for some comment / input to help with my ISP download issues. The graph below is typical of a day (been monitoring for a couple of weeks now).

The issue I'm trying to resolve is that of intially good download / browsing speed getting poorer over time. Downloads/streams (iPLayer / Sky / YouTube) will initially start well for a minute & then buffer. Browsing is very stop/start.


Specifically does the yellow peaks appear odd ??

What to the regular gaps between 4-6 a day mean ??

Thx.

The gaps suggest something that was not a resync since that usually shows as a top to bottom red line, and is not a failure in the BQM system as others don't have it.

The high yellow spikes between 3pm and 6pm look like you were actually using the connection, e.g. uploading or downloading a lot, i.e. your own use of your connection does influence the latency

Nothing in that graph really points to stop/start web browsing, the speed test at https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest may give some more information e.g. if the two download results differ a lot then you may have congestion.

I have had the odd gaps on mine, not too sure if the connection was up or down, but there was no notification on my routers logs of loosing connection.

The last time I saw a gap on mine was on the 9th of November between 6am to 7am shown here: BQM Graph for 9th November

Most of those yellow spikes on my graph is the SamKnows White Box doing its tests.
