For all the years I've worked in IT, I'm a little baffled on how this issue is occurring.
Normally - my pings to bbc.co.uk or google dns (8.8.8.8) are around 10-15ms
Normally - my throughput is between 60-76mbps on BT Fibre2 Unlimited (80/20)
Issue:
Pings are high (10 - 150ms) - when using a small amount of bandwidth. (1mbps)
Pings are high (20 - 150ms) - when using a medium amount of bandwidth (3mbps)
Pings are high (70 - 250ms) - when using a large amount of bandwidth (7mbps)
Pings are low (10-15ms) - when doing absolutely nothing on the network.
I have an Ubiquiti Edgemax Lite3 router, attached to a fibre modem and this has been solid for about 2 years now. It also has traffic analysis, so I can see on the network - which devices are pulling what throughput. The above testing is done, when there is literally nothing else happening on the network, when I say nothing - I mean there's about 100KB-300KB/s being Tx/Rx from my other connected devices).
Nothing has changed my end, for a long time, although with the above issue, I'm trying to figure out where the issue lays.
I'm going to swap my equipment out, back to the BT Homehub when I get home tonight to test.
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this type of issue before?
- If you have - what was the fix?
- If you haven't - what else can I check?
Is it worth a BT Support phonecall?
Low ping is essential to gaming for me.
I can't do any sort of gaming (warping), when the wife is watching Netflix etc...
