Hi all,
First time poster, but was advised by a good friend to post here to get some good info.
Equipment:
I have a HG612/Ubiquiti EdgeMax setup.
I have BT Fibre 80/20, usually get around 70 down, 18-20 up, roughly.
I've swapped my equipment back to the BT HomeHub for BT to run some tests, but as far as BT can tell - there's nothing wrong with my line, as my throughput is within threshold.
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.
This is a little frustrating for the gamer in me, high pings are useless in fast paced FPS gaming, so I'm looking for answers.
As of the last few days, when there's activity from the wife, watching Netflix or streaming iPlayer - my latency rockets, as per above - my gaming starts to warp.

This is the SNR from the BTHomeHub, i'll try and grab some out of my HG612 when I swap it back later.
19:08:29, 07 Feb. DSL Link Up: Down Rate=72420Kbps, Up Rate=20000Kbps; SNR Margin Down=3.4dB, Up=6.7dB
Any thoughts why I get such high latency when the wife is watching Netflix?
I can emulate this by using Steam, to download a game patch update, while limiting the update to 3MB/s.
This never occurred until a few days ago. I also get the odd lost packet
Pings to
www.bbc.co.uk over the last couple of hours, with very little in the way of usage on my network:
Packets: Sent = 19159, Received = 19110, Lost = 49 (0% loss)
Thank you, appreciate it.
