decibel:

Now this becomes more interesting -  before all this started, around the time my Fritzbox had a firmware update and I was switched to Vocus; I had noticed that SamKnows had been reporting little micro-outages several times a day but never long enough or often enough to cause any problems.


Yesterday, I looked at the SamKnows page and what did I see -



Other than removing the Fritzbox, the only difference is the removal of a Cisco switch between the Fritzbox and the original location of the OPNsense firewall.


More testing needed.



Interesting to see those disconnects, what is this SamKnows bizzo and how do you use it? (doing some research but your experience would be useful)

SamKnows is the outfit that runs the NZ internet performance testing for the Commerce Commission.

 

https://measuringbroadbandnewzealand.com/

 

I have a "box" from them which monitors the performance.

 

That is where the disconnects result comes from.

 

Unfortunately, I now see that Cisco has taken them over.

 

Will they be ruined by this like they ruined OpenDNS?

 

Time will tell.
