XGSPON - Intermittent dropped packet loss
Hi All, I seem to have noticed recently on my XGSPON connection (2gbps/2gbps) i seem to be getting intermittent packet loss. This becomes an issue when gaming online, and also streaming doing anyth...

That's the latency with the FTTP? It's still not as good as the main competitor (at least with my soon to go FTTP connection from you know who, the BQM sticks to basically 0), that is surprising.
People will sit here and argue with me over it, but Virgins network isn't setup for low response times, they have had years of HFC and RFoG where latency has never been below 10ms, but now we are seeing FTTP i can to a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 and see one of the hops to the core network hit 8ms straight away, all the previous hops are 1-2ms which are about normal for a FTTP network. Then sometimes on a different routing table i can get almost 6ms to google compared to 12ms. So there's definitely routing problems.
Virgin still have some old stuff in the network that will eventually improve or be upgraded as part of their network upgrade plan, Im at least hoping anyway. - I have probably one of the best network setups possible, and the only weak point in my network is the CAT6A cable from Hub to switch. The rest is full fibre to all my devices and computers where possible.
