Latency issue during peak times

Hi,

I keep receiving latency issues everytime it gets to peak time.

Here are my recordings other the week of my internet:

I'm very much guessing it's do with VM over proving ISP in my area

Yes that would be correct .  VM have a threshold for over utilisation and if it’s financially viable they will re-segment the network to cope.

So is my issues definitely down to overproviding the ISP in my area?

They might be, but the impact of the government's home working advice will be temporarily worsening things and there's nothing VM can do about that acute temporary effect.  Normally this affects the upstream and is correlated with office hours, but I'm not seeing that too obviously on your BQM. Chronic over-utilisation that has been running for months would be different, and that's simply an outcome of over-selling relative to network capacity, and that's not handled well - the most reliable and quickest fix is to get another ISP (using formal complaint and CISAS if VM try and claim an early exit fee). 

However, not all patterns like that are over-utilisation, and there might be a fault that simply becomes more significant when the network is busy.  I have flagged your post for staff to take a look, because the downstream power levels look appallingly wonky to me - the range is rather too wide with a thoroughly inconsistent "slope", and I'm not sure the D3.1 channel is running at the correct level relative to the other channels.

Good morning @Stesmith92

 

Welcome back to the forums and thank you for taking the time to post, 

 

I am sorry to hear that you have had some issues with your broadband. 

 

I have taken a look over your account and can see that there are defiantly some issues with your upstream that we are going to need an engineer to put right. 

 

I will pop you over a PM so that I can confirm your address. 

 

Kind regards,

Zak_M
