Can't play online games. even tho the pings are very low even at peak times, the packet loss spoils everything. Reply from 66.102.7.99: bytes=32 time=144ms TTL=53 Request timed out. Reply from 66.102.7.99: bytes=32 time=168ms TTL=53 Request timed out. Request timed out.
yes they have made some grounds for general usage as websites and gaming here is fine and iTunes downloads seem to be working alot better than they have been its just downloading anything 50mb+ means no matter where it is it seems the download speeds are painfully slow and mean it would take days and days to download anything.
I am getting a crap latency and download rate to everything to do with the internet right now. Pinging Telecom.co.nz at 360ms.
Something is up.
use tracert to check out where spikes start to happen, second hop - something happening on your line. 3rd hop ... i don't know, a bunch of super leachers perhaps?
Hmmm. Latency has been great this morning and for the last 2-3 hours (now 12.40pm - lunchtime). Gaming no problems. See how it holds up tonight - I suspect it will pack up. We'll see I guess.
I found the out what the issue was this morning. Brother + uTorrent = Latency issues. Latency has actually been fantastic all week round since Wednesday.
Until about 2 pm had no latency issues with 200 ms in wow nor packet loss(checked multiple times), after 2 pm packet loss came back making gaming impossible. google.com Reply from 66.102.7.104: bytes=32 time=166ms TTL=51 Reply from 66.102.7.104: bytes=32 time=165ms TTL=51 Reply from 66.102.7.104: bytes=32 time=168ms TTL=51 Request timed out.

latency jump could be explained: Sat 2pm, everybody just woke up after Fri night and watching youtube, downloading etc, but how can the packet loss be explained? Too much traffic causes hardware to fail?
