Wing5wong: Its an orcon supplied Orbi.

 

Interesting how it is identifying as OpenWRT. You don't have anything else hooked up to your network (eg, Samknows box), a VPN or anything on your PC either that may interfere with traffic?

 

 

I believe that the firmware used on Netgear Orbi is based on OpenWRT

Interestingly tonight, I have had no issues.

 

Last night I disconnected 6+ times.

 

 

 

I've been gathering various traces both nights just in case something does start occurring again for something to reference.

I thought it was looking good, and tonight im disconnecting again. not even 10 minutes ago (7:52pm, 22-09-2023), running world of warcraft on one PC, and dead by daylight on the second PC, i disconnected from both games at the same time.

 

 

 

I'm now locked from playing Dead by daylight for 6 hours due to continued disconnections (There is a disconnect penalty for continually disconnecting) so will not be able to provide more info there until tomorrow. (And i believe if i disconnect again il go to a 12 hour timeout T_T )

 

 

 

Heres links for each PC containing ping/pathping and tracert to a variety of IPs. I stopped the exports a short while after the disconnects occurred.

Though it was fine, but seemingly not. Must have just been luck/good timing yessterday.

 


I did get an email response from them this morning (I raised another support ticket on monday - with the same generic response as the last time.

Hello Sean,
 
I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your broadband connection.
 
I have had a look into your account and can confirm that everything appears to be in order. We have concluded there is no impacting factors from our network setup. To further investigate the fault, we would like to get the tracerts and ping tests for the sites that you are having trouble with."

 

 

 

 

 

Ive provided them with the same link to these uploads, and will continue to add to them in the hopes there is something else that will be looked into.

 

 

 

Im not really sure what else i can ping in order to provide meaningful information.

 

The fact that 2 different devices, each with the same issue on 2 different modems (that previously worked without issue) , to 2 completely different games absolutely to me rules out the fact that there is "no issue" or that the issue can lie within my network.

 

 

 

On the back of my mind now is if a change of provider will have any benefit. I try to be loyal to services where i can, but maybe i just need to make the jump - but i dont want to make the change if the issue will just persist with another provider..

 



Below is an example ping and tracert again.
To me it is too coincidental that there are timeouts at the time where the game disconnects. prior to this, pings are continuous.
You can see the tracert is fine > bad > fine (assuming i am interpreting it correctly

Hey mate,

 

Orcon, Christchurch & Experiencing the same issue for the last week.

 

Interestingly enough I've lately had my connection drop for 5-10 seconds then reroute itself through singapore when connecting to Valves SYD servers, Only to return to normal a few minutes later.

 

I've had a pretty overall average experience with Orcon including higher than expected latency, packet loss during peak hours which they would fix after a couple weeks.

 

New problems seem to pop up then disappear more often than what you'd expect for $110 per month.

While Henry is helping to look into these (we've changed IP), im still experiencing the issue.
Dead by daylight, world of warcraft, diablo 4 - no game is able to maintain conenction.

 

 

 

I recently got WinMTR, and had just started it earlier before noticing a huge lag spike in dead by daylight just now.

 

Looking at winMTR i see the following
be1000.bdr01.akl05.akl.nz.vocus.network and be100.bdr01.syd14.nsw.vocus.network show consistent packet loss so i assume they are just rate limited (around 30%/80%)

 

 

 

Woops, forum didnt like table formatting so heres the updated stats after running a while

I'm also with Orcon and have been having the same issues for the past two weeks now, Internet drops out on games but discord stays connected. One thing ive noticed is if it drops while I'm playing csgo then it doesn't actually disconnect, my ping just spikes to 200 for about 1-2 mins then goes back to normal but if I'm playing CoD then ill get completely kicked from the lobby... Starting to get real annoying

Heres the disconnect again, this time in pingplotter

 

World of warcraft and dead by daylight disconnected at 9:31 pm

 

Dead by daylight never seems to show the loss, but ALWAYS disconnects at the same time as other apps that do.

Still no real progress here.

 

 

 

Whilst it seems like a few people have been helping out, the end result is the same. 

 

 My connection is completely unstable, and is unsuitablefor my needs.

 

Im guessing my only real option is to switch up providers (fibre+power) in an attempt to attempt to return to a stable connection.

 

I'm beyond annoyed at this stage, and after being with (and recommending to others,) Orcon for many years now I'm disappointed to have to take this step.

 

 

 

Any strong recommendations currently for fibre? And power?

 

Orcon is now an additional $10/mo up to $115 for 900/500

 

One NZ 900/500 - $105 - https://one.nz/broadband/internet-plans/ 

 

Spark 900/500 - $106/$112 (with netflix) - https://www.spark.co.nz/online/broadband/buy-plan?category=all&subcategory=not_included 

 

 

 

For power the current rates are as below (and we get a 10% discount for the bundle.)

 

Losing the bundle deal means our total price likely goes up (we save approx $35 power and $11.50 fibre in the bundle) but at the end of the day i need the connection to be stable again.

 

Fixed Daily Charge $1.220
All-Inclusive Usage Charge 34.76c

 

 

 

Spark appears to be the most competitive offer to me, given we can make savings on our netflix plan as well.

 

Any gotchas with spark? Retaining sticky IP is a requirement for me (no CGNAT)

For power - all providers offer you the same power. Go with the cheapest. Take a look at Flick Electric (Flat plan), Frank Energy, Mercury Energy (if you don't mind bundled) or even Octopus Energy. Then check for yourself on https://powerswitch.co.nz for other providers and their rates.

 

Bundling often isn't cheaper and also makes it harder for you to move to always get the best rate. Other notable internet providers are Skinny (who are rather cheap, and are literally Spark under the hood in every way apart from billing) and Quic - just a note with Quic though they're currently rebuilding their entire network after a rocky start with exponential growth (see the post here: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=194&topicid=307025), I'm on their new network personally as an Alpha tester and it is seriously night and day but also chucking it to you as an option too. Both Skinny and Quic offer very sticky IP addressing with Quic having the ability to pay one-off for a Static IP also.

 

By staying split between power and broadband you can often save more. Your rates are actually rather expensive, shop around. Mercury do have some pretty good deals too sometimes and have a pretty solid broadband network if you're wanting to keep power and broadband combined (note - Mercury do CG-NAT by default but this is opt-out by a quick call).

@ainTn0Body Just careful with language please. I'd recommend all of you to phone Orcon (or your respective 2degrees owned provider) and log faults for this - remember, Geekzone is not official support.

 

Failing this and the fact it has been occurring for quite some time along with other random issues perhaps vote with your wallet and move to a non 2degrees owned provider? Skinny/Spark, One NZ, Voyager, Quic (if you're technical), Now, Mercury Energy in no recommended order are all other choices that are not run through the 2degrees network and are all great option for gaming. Internet in NZ is awesome but it is just bizarre how many random issues we're seeing with 2degrees as of late.
