Hi,
So, I am in UK using Virgin Media's broadband. I'm getting 500+ down, 35+ up. Fibre to wall, co-ax runs insode house and splits to TV and Router. Sounds okay so far.
Problem is (I have two), I'm plagued with drop outs which I know are from Virgin's side because of chekcing website 'down'detectors spiking when I have my disconnects.
Second issue I noticed gaming with stats up, was packet loss. I downloaded winMTR and ran some tests. I traced to TPU, and also my own connection. I did this on wired, and wifi (the wifi was done on a new laptop). Here are my MTR snapshots:
To TPU via wired PC (this is with 0.2 response time, same for all)
This is laptop wi-fi to TPU:
And laptop wi-fi to router
I've had packet loss before but never used MTR to check it (did so on advice this time).
Curveball - I ran the router diagnostics and did a ping test to TPU (10 pings), and it recorded 110ms with no packet loss on all ten.
Any ideas what would cause this, or how to trouble shoot? I have zero networking skills.
Edit:
Just connected to a 51ms server on AirVPN. Got this:
Still packet loss but way lower. Does this imply a problem with Virgin's line routing?
