Please igorne 12pm look at the one at 2pm

On here 2pm

there's only a tiny spike.. also the pattern looks marginally different from you had before which was very much a spike up and then slow drop which I'd put down to router before.. not it's more noise.. did you switch from router to direct PPPoE from computer?

Right here is the 5GB test file from TTB using ethernet CAT 5E cable from ONT to PC direct with all wifi disabled and no other device as it was removed off.
However, the TTB BQM graph has finally showing NO SPIKED at 2pm just after downloaded 5GB single file.

Congrats Seb, you are 100% correct it was dodgy Cat6A flat cable from TP Link are terrible, just awful.
It's all FIXED now!

You sure it's that cable? Possible sure but you also changed it to direct? Could still be router?
Also note speed test vs download misses the upload bit..

No only change at the ONT with different ethernet cable Cat 5E straight plugged to the router 2.5G wan port and from router 2.5Gbps lan port straight to my computer AMD at the back of pciE 2.5Gbps and the router haven't change any setting only the WiFi disabled from 2pm onwards.

Very Large File (5GB)

IPv4 Port: 80, 81, 8080
IPv6 Port: 80, 81, 8080

Which port shall I use best? I am on IPv4 at the monent as my router IPv6 is disabled.

Port shouldn't usually matter.

The thing about the cable is you can get 1Gbps on a Cat5e cable. Cat6 is more resitant and higher spec.. Cat6A even more so.. and you can run 10Gbps over those last two, from memory at 30 and 100 metres. It's a little bit surprising to see a short cable have such a big difference but depends on interference. At gig you shouldn't need anything more than Cat5e usually - not saying there's any downside, but the benefits are limited. I have actually used Cat5e sometimes for structured cabling as it's a bit easier to work with when running.

As for 100Mbps - if a card/switch negotiates 100Mbps then you'd be limited to that. Most common reason is your cable is dodgy with one line broken, or possibly just one without all 4 pairs (8 strands).. there's also crossover cables but they should usually work. If you only get 100Mbps link the cable is probably not good, if another cable works.. sometimes devices auto-negotiate badly especially at 100Mbps (less of an issue at 1Gbps).

Ok so see what BQM is like on router.. I'd also suggest you re-test the flat cable later to prove it's not a router reboot or something which fixed it.

That's true I only did one single 5GB download test file at 2pm as I haven't use speedtest.net yet to check upload. Will do two more test via speedtest.net at 4pm.

Ok I will try that Cat6A later after I done the test first with Cat5e at 4pm. Then change cable and do the test again at 4:30pm to give the graph more time.

Will you be able to add upload file soon on TTB tool. I only see download only. Only asking!

is the cable anywhere near electrical cables?

thinking that the flat cable has zero twists in it and suffering from fleming's right hand rule add in a near by electrical source! I would look at the cable from the xbox to the router as well to make sure that avoiding electrical cable.
