Unstable Ping and packet Loss
Hope it's OK if I add my problem here as well - I didn't want to start a new identical thread, apologies to OP and mods if this against rules. Have been having the same for quite a few months now.
Thought the culprit was my poor wifi, but if anything things have got worse since installing a wired connection from the router downstairs to my main computer setup. During the daytime the connection seems to drop for 5-10 seconds on a semi-regular basis, sometimes every 15-20 mins, other times far less frequently. Main symptoms are video calls freezing and streams reverting to 160p for a few seconds before returning to full resolution - all over direct wired connection to the router.
My SQM seems to evidence this with persistent dropped packets between 0800 and 0200. Reaching the stage where I would not renew with Virgin at any price unless resolved.
Any help or advice appreciated.
