Yes, that was the cause of my problems - there was somebody on Vivaciti (this thread) that had the same problems and an almost identical BQM graph.

All back to normal for me now.

A tweet from Coms to highlight this would have been nice.....

Yea would help. Amazing how many times workmen go through cables. Do they just start digging and hope for the best?

In reply to a post by theADDict:

Hoping I will be the first to report a new ISP connection on this thread, my new connection is set for Friday 4th.
WHOOP

wed 2nd for me

ARGH !!

Cheers for that.

Been playing online today and ping back to normal and no lag so it must have been that.

Still not happy about the traffic shaping from coms.

I used to work for the gas board(left in 96) the problem is that the plans of where cables are, are usually wrong/incomplete/inaccurate.

Not always the workmens fault but the should be checking before they dig.

When fibre optic cable was installed in edinburgh by telewest, they were bursting gas pipes so often on pavements that we had a team just sitting waiting for them to do it, they got charged for each one they busted.

NE Scotland, but not fibre.

And it's slow as hell again tonight. Issues with iPlayer buffering again, and max HTTP download speed seems to be 200K/s. Oh joy.

Scotland sounds about right, it was effecting some TT LLU connections in the north and in Scotland

And full speed via HTTP tonight

I am in the South Midlands, Worcestershire and it should not have any affect here but it has been a diabolical service from Coms.com all weekend any ways. I have never been so angry with an ISP ever and I have been with the Internet from day one back in the old 300 Baud Modem days!

The service is they offer is a huge joke! We were promised that they had fixed the packet loss problem by a stealth traffic management system that they inadvertently forgot to tell us about, then we asked for detail and were told 00:00 to 08:00 no TM now it's Monday 01:57 and I am being traffic managed on P2P NNTP and my packet loss is a mega disaster!! Have a look at the graphics below in my links.I hate to call anybody a liar so I will say more not quite so true statements from Paul.

I migrated about 30 mins ago, now on xilo and everything is working as it should. I can strean iplay in sd and hd , Youtube now streams in more than 144p and currently streaming the watch dogs trailer in 1080p with no issues.

Looks like my equipment was fine all along, will see how it settles after 10 days.
