now I am really confused can you please provide a direct url to the tbb test?
It's the one on the orange button on the main site- but you have to be logged out (of the main site) or you'll get the standard Flash-based test.

The new one uses HTML5.


edit- it's the same link either way, it just takes you to one of two different places.

So can an ISP fix bufferbloat at their end of is it purely down to the users router if the problem occurs or not?

Important you set the lower advised P8 MTU in your router settings if you are suffering.

To the best of my knowledge, if a user's router suffers from bufferbloat then the only thing their ISP can do about it is to replace it with one that doesn't.

But I could be wrong.

Probably cheaper to send them a decent router tongue

I wonder if that's a hang-over from the issue with BT Wholesale several years ago. I'm not aware of any ADSL network that cannot run at 1492 MTU these days (including TalkTalk, who officially recommend 1432).

Many use the PPP extensions to run at 1500 now as well, I can on PlusNet and did on BT both on FTTC.
