That looks good Max, confims what I thought, that the web speedtest "ping" is something different.

That's good to know it. Here is my BQM (it look like lots of packet loss or just igorne it?)

Could the spikes be your speed tests?

You need to start complaing about the latency - I'm seeing 3ms

I'd ignore the red dots, you worry when you have red lines, but compare with my BQM for my Virgin Media coax service (in my sig) I have a constant 1% packet loss, doesn't really seem to affect me. Started in Oct 2025.

The spikes could easily be when your router is doing something else and takes longer to reply to Thinkbroadband. Not likely a problem. The average latency looks pretty good for a UK broadband service.

This is quite cruel if you're familiar with the OPs history of obsessing over tiny things that aren't service impacting. 6ms from Telford to London is absolutely fine.

6ms is exceptionally good. I'm 20 miles from Heathrow and get 17ms to bbc.co.uk on Virgin coax cable.

Thanks. I always knew anything under 10ms is fine.

I just finished setup ethernet cable under floorboard for my bedroom, my daughter bedroom for her xbox 4k gaming etc.

Just doing last one ethernet cable to downstair hallway for wifi access point router (downstair)

Yep thanks. Just ran speedtest.net on Windows 11 Pro

Good stuff, Max. Glad it went in well.

If anyone can test this connection's performance it's you. So please keep us posted and looking forward to seeing how it measures up.

Thanks. ONT I got is Zyxel PM5313-00 the latest 2.5G Wan and Lan ports from Openreach.
