Your link is a 404. frown
Hmm that was the forum link generated from the BQM site.. There is a warning saying info will become available over time. Maybe it's that.

The top graph is Zen, Has been like that since day 1 of my connection on the 14th May.

The bottom graph is my last day with Yayzi.

Yes, you can check my other threads about it. Zen in their infinite wisdom have decided to route my connection (in Berkshire) via Manchester for, reasons apparently.

They seem to have no intention of fixing it when I call, and so it's just a feature of using Zen, that they will randomly assign you to the most stupid routing they can think of. I have no doubt that half their users in the north route via London too. It's quite amusing to watch most of my traceroutes go from almost London, to Manchester, then back to London again.

Anyway it's mostly fine aside from that slightly high ping. Speeds are a bit slower (probably because most traffic goes over already congested connections running north/south twice) but not really slow enough to cause a problem.

That's not terrible packet loss. I doubt you'd notice it in normal use. Not ideal, I'd agree but not bad either.

That is down to geography and ISP routing. Starlink has worse ping times apparently, but still good enough for drone operation. The important thing is that the ping is stable.

Thanks.

I see the peak time stuff on Zen, yeah. So they still refusing to take ownership of it?

Was that day on Yayzi under heavy load when it spiked?

1% is noticeable, he is approaching 10% at times.

Sorry, I don't get what your asking here.

The bottom graph, Yayzi does not have any packet loss. Is it the yellow spikes you are referring to? I was at home that day so probably just me using the connection.

My connection dropped this morning a little while ago. I wonder if that was Zen doing something or just CF up to something...

I mainly play a game called PUBG and the packet loss, even at 5% is wreaking havoc in games when it happens.

Not being able to open doors or just walking right through them, Not being able to interact with items or teammates. Shots vanishing into the abyss etc etc.

Sunday's packet loss was insane compared to the rest of the week. If that don't prove its peak time congestion then I don't know what will.
