Is BQM working OK?

Hi all,

I've done nothing to make this happen and neither has my ISP, but for over 24 hours I've only had small dots of red, and I am used to large red rectangles and stripes of top to bottom red spikes in between.

Now it's dawned on me, that the BQM might not be working right. <shrug>

If it is true and I have a proper ADSL service, then that definitely feels a bit spooky.

Not seen anything like it since maybe December last year and even then it was not this well behaved.

I'm worried.

Anyone else seeing better results than they are used to?

BQM running fine at our end

It might be an idea to post the "Live" BQM link, rather than try to describe it .

So it seems. Baffled by the whole thing though.

With the little data you have shared impossible to say anything else.

I've never had to do one of these before, hope it's going to be ok for you.

Is it ok?

Second time and now it keeps not updating the post.

Your link just gives us the login screen. If we fill that in, we of course go to our own account.

If you go to where it shows your BQM setup/edit and click the Show detailed list just below it, you get to see what your graph is showing. Immediately under that is a line of options, including "Share live graph". Click that then give us the "Direct link".

That does keep updating, but is usually the best for us. Occasionally a "Snapshot" one is useful. Another option is to go to the "Show previous days", which lets you pick up the link to a full 24 hours that doesn't update.

maybe this time it will work

And for the interpretation some questions....

Between 5pm and 8pm were you streaming, downloading or uploading something? On ADSL the jump in yellow is normal for when you are using the connection. Notice you during the night time hours 1am to 6am that the graph is a lot cleaner - suggesting nothing is seriously wrong.

That’s better .

As MrSaffron says, nothing abnormal there at the moment. When you get a fair amount of red, a snapshot one is then useful.
