Packet drops since last week - please help.

Reran the test and this one is more reasonable - so things seem to vary - I will run tests periodically

(ping -n -4 google.com)

--- google.com ping statistics ---
390 packets transmitted, 371 received, 4.87179% packet loss, time 1227ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 16.988/19.677/59.125/4.447 ms

The variability looks normal to me now - 4-5 ms with an average of 20 ms ... however I note that there are still packet losses of 5% which, while better that 40%,  still should not be happening - so something looks wrong somewhere.

Thanks

Forgot to say - also rebooted the modem as well. All to no avail.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out to your packet loss concerns and I'd like to help. Can you please send a private message with the phone number, full address, and your name? 

I am happy to look into the internet service concerns. Can you please reach out through private message with the name, address and phone number on the account? 

While nowhere near as bad this issue continues.  The test I set up to check runs hourly and while there were several days of no packet loss it has not gone.

It had a bad spike on 11/8

30% packet loss on 11/8 at 3 pm EST 

   5% packet loss on 11/8 at 11 am

   7% packet loss on 11/8 at 9 am EST

   6% packet loss on 11/8 at 8 am EST

    2% packet loss on 11/7 at 6 pm

    1% packet loss on 11/5 at 00:05 am

These are unrelated to (my) network usage at the time (the test prints the network activity as well as the packet loss test results.

e.g. the last test showed:

--- google.com ping statistics ---

100 packets transmitted, 70 received, 30% packet loss, time 648ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 16.787/21.040/59.155/6.452 ms

by comparison a 'normal' test looks like:
300 packets transmitted, 300 received, 0% packet loss, time 764ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 17.038/18.508/28.279/1.334 ms

While it is nowhere as bad as it was previously, it has not been fully resolved.

Can you please advise the appropriate people so it can be looked into.

Thank you, gene.

To put closure to this thread.

Technician came to premises today and sorted out the issue (signal at the modem from the pole) was too strong - after adding an attenuator the test equipment showed all is fine. I've had no packet loss since then.

thank you.

Thanks for your help/support! 

I am glad to see and if there is anything else we can do, please let us know. We're here 24/7 for assistance. 

Sad to say it has not been solved completely. I had some small periodic packet loss (1-2%) now and again after the tech visit.

Today (11/16) it spiked up again: ( i dropped my tests to once an hour - so cannot say what is happening in between)

Thoughts?

thanks,

gene

Thanks for sharing the details on the packet loss, genec. I'll happily take a look to see if I can find any signal issues. Please, send me a private message with your first and last name and the phone number on the account to get started.
