Hey guys, just writing out there to see anyone else getting constant packet loss at random times varies between 5pm-3am (as far as i've tested) i've got gigabit fibre, speeds seem fine my ping stays the same in game its just I get 60-100% packet loss for at least 5 or so minutes then disconnect.

 

 

 

Wondering if anyone else is getting this? Everytime I contact orcon, they just don't know what to do, needing some advice

 


Thanks

Haven’t been seeing this. Perhaps it’s localised? Where are you located?

I'm based in Wellington, central area. 

 

 

 

Update 8:41pm was in a game getting constant 260 ping and i'm not getting my speeds anymore, would resetting the fibre modem be beneficial?

 

 

 

Cheers

Interesting - I am in Wellington as well. Northern suburbs - not far from Central.

Perhaps a reboot might help - else check DNS servers else could be a localised (CBD) fault causing temp issues.

My smokepings not showing any latency or packet loss.

I'm getting massive packet loss and speeds crawling on 2Degrees tonight, central AKL.

 

Router and ONT restart hasn't helped... assume there's something wrong further along the chain

This is mostly resolved for me now - packet loss is back to normalish levels

I'm pretty sure I was experiencing this too before, but now it's seems to be resolved. I don't have a way to measure packet loss so I'm just basing this on my ping spiking
