I have now disabled all wireless on the router just one ethernet from 2.5Gbps to my pc with no other devices now just my pc See if there is no more spiked on BQM live.

Pretty stupid of TP LInk when disabled all WiFi it want to rebooting the router to take affect. Blimey!

Most of them do if you disable the Wi-fi, I have not had a router that don't.

Could be something interfering with the ONT or router,

Yeah i believe it issues with Zyxel ONT the new one from openreach. Been trying this ONT direct to pc w11 without any router use windows 11 pppoe login and try it and still on high spike as Martin ask me to try it. Told him all the same no difference. He asked me to try different router but no difference as did try both routers.

It's AMD Ryzen 3700x with Asus Tuf Gaming Plus B550 very high spec pc with 16GB memory ram and Samsung NVMe as this pc was built myself years ago.

Finally found out why it caused high spiked. The AMD Ryzen 3700x PC does doing it. But I did try on my old PC, Intel Sandybridge i7 2700K running on Firefox and the upload has now stopped high spiked from TBB BQM.

You can see both download and upload just low latency now.

Must have be better Intel ethernet network card on it than AMD ethernet network card.

Intel network card: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)

Seem Banger on Plusnet TBB BQM on his FTTP 1000/115 are lots better than mine on TBB BQM as it should be like this for any full fibre. https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/...

Oh well. I leave it for now. Will switch to Plusnet next year January 2027.

Don't change your provider because someone else's graph looks prettier than your graph.

Change to Plusnet if you want to save a bit of money - and don't mind being locked into a 2 year contract with price rises. But trust me, you're unlikely to get a better service than you get from Aquiss, and your graphs are unlikely to look any prettier either.

You'll also lose IPv6, and your static IPv4 address, but those things may or may not matter to you.

Switch to Plusnet next January 2027 to save money are the only reason. Doesn't matter if I lose IPv6 or Static IPv4 address.
