In reply to a post by Vanburen:

I am also having issues with my connection:

7th December
6th December

My connection is supposed to be using BTW backhaul, not Zen.

Hot VLAN then Your ISP will have to raise it with BT Wholesale to get you moved to a better less utilized svlan Bt's monitoring of utilization leaves a lot to be desired I have had this a few times in the past when the connection used BTW for backhaul i bet single thread throughput is affected during these latency humps too, My connection uses TT wholesale now i believe

A dream connection since ditching flaky Zen 7 weeks ago, not a byte dropped, though doesn't look a zen problem this time. Either way, double the spseed resold TTB for exactly the same price was a no brainer.

All OK tonight. Hopefully back to 'Business as Usual'.

A quick question. Here's my Zen FTTC graph for Tuesday:

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/...

I had a 15 minute outage at 1.20am (modem didn't lose sync) but are the red bits elsewhere a sign of anything bad or at least suboptimal? I believe I'm on BTW backhaul.

I used to get loads of dropped ping packets all day when using my Fritzbox's own software (a known quirk) but now it's running OpenWRT so it isn't that. Modem is a Huawei HG612 which sticks to the line like glue unlike the Fritz's modem which drops out most days (Huawei cabinet).

Not really as good as it should be here, but a lot better than the last few days!

My Broadband Ping

If the HG612 didn't lose sync, that red patch at 1:20 almost certainly signifies PPP was dropped. Possibly the provider doing gateway rebalancing.

I have no ping at all today - My Broadband Ping

Same here, and other people have reported it in "Talk to the Staff". It'll get fixed in due course no doubt, but you might like to add a post in that forum.

Done, thanks Bill.

Well I'm now off IDNet so didn't have those issues on Zen backhaul and move to Aquiss, although it feels like it might become a case of out of the frying pan into the fire as things are not that brilliant. I've added a post under Other Providers as an update as off topic here.
