Peak time latency spikes

[#1]

well that's me done for the night wife just fired up her laptop so no more accurate testing.
Well that's the first night with no problems lets hope it continues was on plc-ag01
Thanks everyone for you help

20CN  on  'pcl-ag01'

So where is my missing 430Mbps gone ?
It's not my modem's problem - as that is synced at max values (as it always is)

[#3]

Not sure.  Stay on that gateway and see if it returns tomorrow morning?

[#4]

@Kelly - OK, I'll test again in the morning.
While it's quiet for the moment,  what is your opinion on my question here - http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,111170.msg968147.html#msg968147  ?
It is annoying that I had interleaving switched off days before, reducing my latency by about 22ms, only to have whatever happened adding 10ms back on again !

[#5]

hmmm.  We had a gateway fail around that time.  If you were on it, you've had reconnected to a different one.  I presume you haven't seen a jump since you reconnected this evening have you?

[#6]

No, my best latency ever since has been 28 or 29ms, even with all the gateway jumping that has been going on.
Presumably if I had been on the failed gateway, then I would have seen a CHAP session starting around that time - but there was nothing !

PCL peeps:  Still seeming to be a lot better than usual?

Yes things seem better but, whilst normal ping and speedtests seem fine,  this still doesn't seem as clever as it should be

and I'm not too happy with BBC1 Live streaming, but this could be the Beeb (it's wiresharking OK) - occasional blocking/blurring/video jumps once or twice sound out of sync,although it's better now than it was 15 minutes ago.
purleigh's question about latency is an interesting one, because I'd been intending to ask at some point, what changes were made to pcl-ag04 about 5 weeks ago. Previous to that roughly, I'd been on pcl-ag04 for sometime and it was a good gateway for me, I could get pings of 32/33ms regularly. The last few days I've been on it until it broke this morning, the best I'd been able to get is 36/37ms.

Latest results I have from my whitebox on pcl-ag06

Rather different than the usual, certainly! What happened around 19:00?

Ok last night was allot better I could live with those speeds if you guys at PN can maintain them they are similar to what I was getting before the problems started around 23th Feb.

There was a small dip around 22.00 but nowhere near the ones I've been experiencing they have been going down to under 10Mbps
Still on same gateway atm will check tonight to see what results I get

PCL-ag04 last night was fine - the first night since joining PN about a month ago without the expected peak time latency peaks / slowdowns.  Well done PN and hope it continues!
(Ignore the red in the Tbb graph - I had to move furniture around which involved disconnection etc......
Link removed

[#11]

Must of been a big move of furniture 

[#12]

Good morning Rookey.........    I could give a blow by blow account of my furniture moving activities but I think I will stick to the matter in hand - the much improved quality of my PN fibre connection! 
Tell me, are you as content this morning as I am or are you suffering your usual slowdowns etc?

[#13]

My speed is great this morning it has been every day during the day really last night was the first peak time I had good connection and shocking it went downhill at 9.30 so i hop and it back to normal.

20CN  on  'pcl-ag01' So where is my missing 430Mbps gone ? It's not my modem's problem - as that is synced at max values (as it always is)

Dropping from 6.9Mb to 6.7Mb really isn't a huge drop and isn't a significant change. I'm sorry to say but that's well within the acceptable range of speeds for a broadband service.

[#15]

On the subject of mybroadbandspeed.co.uk when is that going to be fixed? (that's probably where purleigh's 430 kbps have gone). I don't know what Plusnet have done with the 430Mbps, they certainly haven't given it to me
