Hi

Im regurlary having issues with my BB connection lately. I thought it was because everyone in the house was using Ipads/phone etc. to access the network (2/3 connections), but it seems worse of late.

Just now I was gaming where pings are normally 50-60ms and this week has been hitting 200-300 intermitting, then back down to 50-60
Just now i did a ping test and shows the below.

Is there anything I can do to find out what is going on...or monitor bandwidth each device is using at a time to help me understand the issue?

Or to even find out if there is another issue ongoing. I have a BT 8mb connection and have done for years...yet its never been this bad. Its the best connection I have in local area at present.

Its killing my gaming time :mad:

How are you connecting to the router. Via wireless or Ethernet?

Do you get the same results on all machines that are hooked up to the router?
 
using ethernet straight to the router, cable only 2-3 meters long. The other pc in the house is ethernet also straight to the router, but about 20 meters cable. Both pings are usually about the same 50-60ms

other devices in the house , ipads, photes etc..wireless

Just checked again...pingtest now about 60ms which is normal...which means the signal is up and down quite a lot...just need to find the reaosn.
 
Hmmm not too sure on this one then

When your getting the high ping responses does it happern on all or the PC's

When you are having issues with the high Ping try running a trace route to try to see where the issue is.

CMD command is tracert (website) & post the results
 
The issue is you have 6% packet loss, extremely high.

If your on ethernet, try swapping some cables (if you can) or go to wireless and re-run to check for packet loss.

If those don't help you need to speak to ISP/BT as it could be a fault on the line.
