Packet Loss Is Becoming A 'Thing'

xoxShwingxox
On our wavelength

Hi all!

New to the VM Community forums - please be gentle 🙂

I've currently got the Gig1 Fibre package, but recently have noticed what I suspected was increased levels of packet loss. The main giveaway was rising levels of lag & rubber banding whilst online gaming.

In order to check this I setup a BQM via thinkbroadband - and here are a selection of graphs from the last 2 weeks...

Does this look normal? I know you will always get the occasional loss, but this seems more than that, and happening fairly regularly.

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks!

Your upstream power looks to be too low and your QAM for the DOCSIS3.1 should be 4096 not 1024.

Vm ned to take a look at it and possibly send a tech out to heck things over!

Many thanks for your feedback 👍

Will someone from VM pick up on this thread?

Aye - can take a day or so though!

May be worth checking the fault line if you haven't already.

0800 561 0061 - usually more up-to-date than the web service and more granular!
