FTTP Broadband in country side

[chris6584]

Hi, Is it possible that if you live  in the countryside but you are on FTTP you can get latency variations and packetloss caused by living in the countryside?

I would of thoughtif you were on  FTTP  and getting 900mbps in the countryside it  wouldn't  be prone to such problems, and how would you get it fixed?

What latency/packet loss are you experiencing? How are you measuring it/ Where is it occuring?

Is it happening on the BT system or after it has been passed onto intermediate links to elsewhere?

Is it happening at the destination or anywhere inbetween?

Answer those questions and you may get the explanation you are looking for.

If I game around 1am it feels fine, but all the other times it feels sluggish and laggy.

does the bqm graph show anything that could tell the story?

Could an over subscribed cabinet cause this?

[licquorice]

No, because FTTP doesn't come from the cabinet.

what causes the ping spikes? nobody is using the connection at home.

Hi @chris6584 

Is this happening with more than one game? What device are you gaming on? Have you tried a wired connection? I'm a gamer too and find that I get the steadiest connection when using an ethernet cable.
