Ping spikes
“Hi all, I’m seeing constant ping spikes and jitter when playing EA FC 26. My normal connection seems fine: 500 pings to 8.8.8.8 show 0% packet loss and ~15 ms average. But in-game, my ping jumps constantly, making online play unplayable. Seems like a routing issue to EA servers. Has anyone else seen this? Any tips or fixes?”Football games unplayable on ps5
Seriously don't bother getting virgin media if you play football games online, it is absolutely shocking how bad it its, 90% of games are totally unplayable. I have the 1gig fttp which is great for downloading etc, but my ping jumps around like nothing else in online football matches and I either get visible lag or it freezes and then goes crazy fast and out of my control, but my players always seem out of sync with the game not locking onto the ball and just unable to do the simplest of things. Happens on any football game, at any time of day or night I get warning for bad ping during matches or really high ping that fluctuates throughout. Warzone/battlefield etc play fine (that i can tell). Virgin say my setup is fine because my speeds are good and stable, but that's not what gaming is all about. Honeslty wish I never took the contract out and can't wait until I can change isp.Moving router to upstairs at the back of the house.
Hi We have recently purchased a property with the old owners using virgin before, we went with virgin media, I got the home install kit just to get it online asap whilst we decided what rooms will be what. I would now like the router moving to my office at the back of the house upstairs, the router is currently in the living room at the front of the house downstairs. I would like to book an engineer out to carry out this move and then test all the lines to make sure we are getting the correct speeds, as we use this for working from home and gaming so we need it the best it can be! Thank you MatthewCisco real speed samknows results
I have a solid PC & have up to date network drivers Realtek ethernet 2.5gbe Just today ive ran cat 8 cables from the router to PC and still getting these results on samknows real speed? Speedtest.net and other speedtest sites show atleast 900mbps download? Any ideas?Downloading on Xbox App for PC, and console's only working when connected to a VPN.
So I've been having this problem for about a month now. For the first 3 weeks of having Virgin fibre (via the Hub5x), I had no issues with downloading anything, and the speeds were great. However after one night, when the internet went down, I went to reset the hub to check to see if that fixed any issue. It reconnected, but since then I have had the issue described in the title. Typically what happens is a download will start, it will download for a few seconds and then I'll get an error notification, or a message that the download was stopped (or in the PlayStation's case, stuck on 'calculating'). Strangely, even when not connected to VPN, I can still download via Steam, and Epic Games Launcher on PC. I haven't tried absolutely every app, so I can't say for sure how many do or don't work. When I do connect to a VPN (currently using ProtonVPN), I can all of a sudden start downloading again without issue. I also tend to find that certain games drop connection when not using a VPN, but I'm unsure if that's related. I have tried so many different fixes, ranging from the basics to some more complex stuff, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. If anyone has any idea what might be causing certain downloads to be blocked/cancelled and throwing up error codes, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.Recent packet loss and large ping spikes
Hi. I have recently (maybe in the past month or so, unsure when it specifically started) been experiencing random ping spikes and packet loss, making the internet unusable for several minutes, this includes web pages never loading and online games becoming unplayable due to the high ping and packet loss. This occurs seemingly at random, for about 2 minutes, and then returns to normal, until the next time it happens. I've been with virgin in my current property for over 2 years and have never had issues like this before, I'd maybe have ping spikes once every 4-5 months for a few seconds, and then return to normal but nothing like this. I am on a wired connection to my router, and as stated above, this has been basically flawless up until about a month ago. I've used thinkbroadband.com to get some graphs for my internet over the past week or so, and you can clearly see where the issues are occurring. I've attached graphs for these dates, in reverse order (not sure why they uploaded like this) Sunday 1st June (Now) -> Saturday 31st May -> etc. etc. -> Monday 26th May I hope someone can help. Cheers [MOD EDIT: Images removed]Ps5 + Virgin issues
For the last 2 days I’ve been having issues with my Virgin broadband and my ps5, all speed checks etc come back fine but whenever a game needs to request data from a server or connect to a server there is connectivity issues which either fails or takes forever. Ive tried contacting Virgin who says there is an issue with an error saying “Hub levels out of spec - engineer required” but I’ve now seen multiple posts on Reddit all have issues and the only thing in common is Virgin broadband. I have tried everything i can think of so any suggestions would be appreciated. tried a reset, modem mode, turning off smart channel, trying a guest network, port forwarding, wired, wireless, messing with settings on the router itself but it works perfectly fine on my hotspot so i know this is a virgin issue with ps5sPacket loss
Been getting packet loss for at least 4 months now consistently , Currently on hub 5 router mode, upgraded plan to Gigabit broadband, changed ethernet cable and tried tp link powerline adapters none of them yet to fix my issue. Notes: Gets alot worse when more people are on the wifi. The later in the day the more packets get lost it seems. (Tests taken at 7pm) currently using an ethernet cable from router to computer for this test.Consistent network disconnection only when attempting to play games
I've been dealing with persistent network disconnections that only occur when playing online games. This issue has been ongoing for about four weeks and has become increasingly frequent. While gaming, the router intermittently loses its internet connection, but the connection stabilizes once I stop playing. I'm using a wired connection to my router and have attempted multiple troubleshooting steps. I've reset the router both via the recessed reset button and by unplugging it, but neither method has helped. I even upgraded to new Cat8 Ethernet cables, yet the issue persists.
