Stats are fine, so no issues there.  Setup a BQM to record the status of your circuit  www.thinkbroadband.com/ping and we can comment 

However, the nature of DOCIS will never be a good for gaming as xDSL circuits at the moment.    Let's see what the BQM looks like after 24 hours.

Could you please inform the group of the outcome. It's very frustrating not knowing if the problem was resolved or the outcome

Did you receive a Private Message from Travis_M as mentioned in his last reply? You can find these in the top right hand corner of the community screen, usually a Purple Envelope.

No did not receive a private message on this subject. I was just enquiring re the outcome of the problem as it just left the forum members in mid stream.

Hi folks,

I'm tagging onto this forum post in the hope someone can help me.

I attach my BQM taken this morning (27th September 2022) from my home in Newport Wales.

The latency to my eyes doesn't look good but hopefully someone can confirm there's an issue or if this a pretty normal looking graph.

Thanks in advance for replies and or suggestions if there's something wrong.
