    Difference is, with OR FTTP you drop a ticket or make a call and it's sorted within the day. With VM (whom gave me far more problems, incidentally) you get nothing but 'We're aware of an issue in your area and our engineers are on the way. We hope to have this resolved within a week/month/6...

    From what he said earlier, I took that it did. However, he disabled WiFi around 10pm and resumed it before morning, so it doesn't rule out any fault or utilisation issue. Dropping Aquiss a note early on for input won't do any harm. The spike in average latency rather than just peak latency does...

    @ash888 and @meandu229 post tickets in the Aquiss customer portal, there's clearly something going on for you.

    Do you have any form of SQM/QoS enabled? No issues here.

    *** VPN Thread ***

    Not enough info to advise. What protocol are you connecting with? If you haven't already, try WireGuard and IKEv2 (if available, I don't use Windows). What spec is the PC? Wired, I assume? Connect to the 'Custard' server (10Gbps) using WireGuard, and test to a few different servers on...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    YouTube is your friend. Just watch a few videos, but assuming brick it's as simple as drilling through both walls (if cavity) upstairs and down, pass through the cable (I used the drill bit and some electrical tape), and feed it back in at the other end. I fed inside-out from upstairs, and kept...

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    Where there's a will, there's a way... Get a long masonry drill bit, 2x Ethernet wall boxes, 1x 10-15 metre exterior grade patch cable then chop the ends off (it's cheaper than buying a length of cable direct), 1x krone IDC punchdown tool. Done, for around the price of a single WiFi dongle! You...

    Better than ever here, too. Ignore the little blip around 6pm, it was an intentional PPPoE resync after tweaking some IPv6 settings.

    @jonnymc4 Aquiss report all seems fixed now. If you're still seeing low(er) speeds drop them a ticket mate.

    Ouch! Mine was nothing like that severe, I just had 'some' packet loss and 30Mbps speeds overnight. This morning's update from Martin/Aquiss suggests they're still waiting on a response and resolution from BTw, so unfortunately it's out of their hands. Give them their due though, as frustrating...

    ASUS Router help

    I'm neither wound up nor excited. I just prefer objective facts and years of data to subjective opinions and small sample sizes. I've never had a car stolen, but I still lock it. If BMW or whomever were found to have been knowingly selling cars with defective locks, and/or providing the codes to...

    ASUS Router help

    Well, no. I don't recommend Asus for the poor quality, **** poor attitude to customers and the lackadaisical security. You replied there's 'nothing wrong with Asus'. My reply proves that there clearly is, and the legal and software logs are there to prove it. It's nothing to do with having a...

    ASUS Router help

    Asus also 'approved' shipping defective and vulnerable firmware for years, and didn't stop until they were legally compelled to do so and placed under regulatory supervision for 20 years... so that doesn't say much.

    ASUS Router help

    Sorry, I misread your OP as FTTP. Much easier, then. Almost any router with QoS should do what you need. I'll PM you.

    ASUS Router help

    Step 1: Put Asus router in the bin. Step 2: Set bin on fire. Problem solved. Easy! What service do you actually have on Sky? Gigabit? Less? Do you need WiFi integrated or just a router? What devices are you connecting, and how? Something running OpenWrt, some of the Ubiquiti kit, some higher...

    Another update from Aquiss says the issue is within BT wholesale before handover to Aquiss, and BTw are currently investigating. I must admit, my monitoring (CQM, BQM etc) have never looked better since I restarted my session at lunch time. Very flat latency and no issues to report so far. Let's...

    I was affected by this too. Speeds were down to around 30Mbps to most destinations (but not all, I still had full speed via Switzerland), and packet loss kept piling up. Seems to be back to normal today touch wood! The spikes after lunch today are me restarting the PPPoE session (and then the...

    Recommendations for FTTP Router?

    Test your VR900 first, it's pointless throwing money away. If you do need a new router, have a look at the Flint 2.

    The config you've posted is for DSL, for Aquiss/FTTP you want it like this: /etc/config/network config interface 'loopback' option device 'lo' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '127.0.0.1' option netmask '255.0.0.0' config globals 'globals' option...

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    I've had an eye on those protests for a while, as I used to live in Southport. Arrogant nonsense, imo. As someone on TBB said last week, there have been millions of such poles all over the country for a very long time. We call them trees... Telegraph poles have been around for a long time now...
