Here you can see the Router under my left screen. The phone point is behind the Dell printer.

Here you can see the PC to the right of the 2nd screen, so the distance is nothing.
 
In terms of PINGS this is the result

Outside of that all 12ms to 13ms end to end
 
I am fairly confident it isn't my PC/Router/ISP

The issue could be something on my Network stealing bandwidth, Arlo has me wondering but there is no Malware as I am running a virtually brand new rebuild PC from a clean Windows 10 install and I never re-install from backups, I always rebuild fresh. PC is i7, 16GB, GTX980 and runs everything like creamy stuff.
 
Uploading is the main cause of high ping, can you disable the CCTV for a period?
It seems to match the ping you're seeing both during upload of the images and the CCTV.

E: Where does Arlo upload too? Your PC or an online source?
 
Pings shouldn't go that high on FTTC for an upload... what is the sync speed? Should say in your router interface.

Uploads usually only throw pings that high when it's completely saturating the connection... was really bad for ADSL/ADSL2 but usually there is spare margin on FTTC to mitigate this.

Did your Arlo do any uploading while you were running that ping? What about things like google drive / dropbox - do you ever drop a lunch bunch of videos or photos into that which may coincide with your ping issues?

I think we are onto something here

When I upload anything, it seems to kill my connection. My upload seeds seem to be fixed at 1mb

Once in a blue moon I add a PDF/Word/Excel file to OneDrive that's it
 
So....it seems line saturation is my issue!!!!

I spoke with Zen, did the same 2 pictures you see above and they saw 3400ms!!

So what they suggested and what I have done, is put a restriction on my upload and having run the same 2 pic test again it spiked to 30ms!

Off to play BF1 and see if we have solved my issue.....wish me luck....I may be some time






Or even more ******* angry when I come back :D
 
So......in early testing.......we have WIN!!!!


More testing needed, but normally I would go into the game, chose a server and get elastic band game play.

Just had 2 deaths (mine of course) and it was perfect. Going back in....
 
But what is causing the line saturation? Do you have any application bandwidth monitoring on that router? any idea what might be smashing the upload?

Even with a limit, if something else is sapping all of that limit, it won't leave much left for the gaming.

It seems anything uploading maxes out the bandwidth limit. I have now set the maximum bandwidth in my router, less than the actual limit so that can not happen which seems to have made life a lot better.
 
Arlo only uploads when it takes some video, so I can see that as I know when I have video in the cloud. I have taken all of my Cloud apps off my NAS drives, so they are no longer phoning home and I have very little else that would be sending content out. Might run some logs and see what else is doing stuff.
