Packet Loss

Up to speed

Since yesterday I have been having frequent packet loss on the line, I ran a status check via website and it said

 

There is a network issue with may be affecting your broadband service

What does this mean?

>This issue is caused by interference on the cabling coming into your home

>This will cause intermittent speeds and performance may vary

 

Upon calling to find it if its a fault on the line or something that needs an engineering the first guy kept going on about wifi (When the line monitor does not take anything after getting to the modem into account) and told me he had sorted the issue in less than a minute.

 

Second time calling they also said nothing was wrong despite the packet loss and their own system message.

Going to monitor line for next 24hrs like they said (Still seeing packet loss) and will keep this updated as I don't think call support is going to be much help.

 

Edit

The long red line at end is after a reset and you can see its still continuing.

Cannot edit anymore but I know the last time we had work done many many years ago the cable was never buried, it is above ground in a green tube, not sure if that would contribute to any issues. Still having bad issues preventing me from doing any gaming so will see what its like tomorrow.

It seems like its settled down now, had one spike during the day, hopefully a hiccup but will keep monitoring
