New Vodafone / CityFibre connection

This week we switched from Sky FTTC (@60Mbps) to Vodafone CityFibre (@150Mbps) and this is the BQM from the first day:

Two questions:
1) I was surprised that the minimum latency has doubled compared to Sky FTTC?
2) The evening peak period was horrendous, even without any streaming from our side?

(The latter has improved though the last couple of nights and is more acceptable!):

The last link is broken. Can you edit it?

The first evening looks pretty dire, there’s even some packet loss evident. Be interested to see if the latency ‘mountain’ has reduced or gone in subsequent snapshots.

Can you also post a live BQM?

Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure why the last link is broken as it works at my end but I'll try this way:

My live link (hopefully!):

Aha can see it now after the edit.

Well that’s looking a whole lot better. Pretty much a normal BQM there.

Still not wonderful ...

Mine from yesterday when working during the day and streaming for most of the evening:

Agreed, if it stays like the last couple of days I'll be quite happy. Just hoping that the first evening was a one-off event, but a google search on Vodafone throttling says it might not be. Fingers crossed though! I'm certainly not used to seeing an increase in ping in the evening when no one here is using the internet.

I'm still surprised that the minimum latency on FTP is around 20ms compared to Sky FTTC at 10ms. However, in the "real world", its nothing

What I am really impressed about with this FTP is that when I watch a Sky Stream channel, there is no impact on the BQM!

Wow, I've never seen a BQM as good as yours before. Which network / ISP are you on with such low ping times?

This is mine on Aquiss 550/70 FTTP

Ignore the red band, I hadn't set it up properly... thanks to MHC for the support

Ummm, again, another one with lower "Minimum Latency" than I experience with Vodafone / City Fibre 150Mbps.

Mine is via OR FTTP, but I think they offer services via CityFibre as well.

Out of curiosity was Vodafone the only choice available?
