Hi,
Since yesterday afternoon my net has been fickle at best and keeps spiking, dropping and not letting me do much. Its got a wee bit better this morning but I still sound like a robot on mumble and skype and online games are unplayable.
I have run a virus scan and its all good. I only have one computer connected and its all good in terms of CPU usage and ram. Not downloading anything.
My modem lights do not turn off and stay constant green which is good.
My packet loss goes up to 30% at times on ping test and on speedtest my upload fails completely. Other times its fine.
There has been high winds here over the last few days and cable in my suburb (Nagio) is above ground. Could be the issue? Always have high winds here though.
As mentioned at times it tests perfect and then when I test again sometimes it does not even work. Browsing the net sometimes drops off as well.
I have rung telstra and they can only get someone here to look at it next tues which is no good to me as I need the net for work sunday.
Does this sound like a ISP provider issue? Is there anything else I could try? Could it have been the high winds causing damage?
