BQM

My Broadband Ping"]My Broadband PingHi Had erratic speeds, turned on BQM and would appreciate some insight on if this is OK or not?
To me seems not bad as most good to avg?

Your link doesn't work. Click the Share Today's Snapshot Graph under the graph, click Generate (if requested) and edit your post to use the Text Link - BBCode (fifth one down).

I think made a right hash of that, this is the link for today

Base latency (green) is fine ... teh yellow spikes - do they correspond to large downloads?

The red at the top - awful. Occasional little bits, maybe but continuous 2-3% loss points to continuous congestion. Have you read https://www.thinkbroadband.com/faq/broadband-quality...

No downloads but have experienced speed issues and trying to get to the bottom of it. Its a new FTTP build and install around a month old.

My speeds are erratic and other than a couple of servers all very poor sub 20 on a 500 connection.

Is packet loss likely to be caused by my download?

The continuous packet loss - unlikely.

Download - could be a set of speedtests.

Do a couple of tests and post lins to those too.

This is from a couple of days ago and reflective of the general connection behaviour, couple of repeat tests that went from good to bad and occasionally the other way

I downloaded ping plotter and these are on RJ45 connections.

looks like it might be my network causing the PL as occurring at hop 1 as well?

The packet loss being shown by the BQM,, is it likely to be caused by a bad ethernet cable internal to my network?

Tried reboot, factory reset and swapped cables but still getting continuous packet loss.

I downloaded ping plotter and that doesn't always show packet loss on the hop 1 but later hops and as it runs, others start displaying PL as well as router. Does the router show PL as having to resent due to other PL?

Would a better router resolve this?

Is there anything else I can do?

That is still probably a problem on Sky's network.
