Title: Burst of packet loss
Post by: Bill on Oct 23, 2010, 09:34:47

Nothing in the router log, the computer was asleep (and so was I!) so not a problem, and the connection is still OK but I'm curious.

Any suggestions?

Just noticed a query about it over on tbb from a Plusnet customer, so it looks like BT rather than IDNet.

In which case we'll probably never find out :dunno:

There was a fair bit of planned BT work last night which was supposedly cleared at 05.00 :dunno:

That could be the brief spike on the graphs I suppose... looks like something un-cleared itself a couple of hours later :P

Interesting, at around that time I was trying to watch a film on Skyplayer but kept disconnecting from the server. I wonder if that was the reason for it  :dunno:

Well, 40% packet loss sure isn't going to improve your viewing experience :P
