seems a new gateway on plusnet, but I am going to have to hop as no ipv6 plus my net is very laggy atm not sure if due to zyxel or other issue.

164.core and normally my first hop is 14-15ms at best.

 1     1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  home.gateway [192.168.1.253]

164.core.plus.net

wth is that..  Ive never seen them use 'core' before..  are they hooking into a BTwcore rather than using one of their own gateways?
Its certainly not one of their usual locations.

I don't know if that helps . . . 

No mention of Beattie.

*wonders* if kitty is hopping to get the gateway

[HighBeta]

Their's also playing around with a network filter.

[ejs]

164.core.plus.net [195.166.130.164]

It just means plusnet haven't set up a more specific reverse dns entry. Other bng gateways have 195.166.130.XXX IP addresses in the traceroute (in that direction).

Now look at TBB speedtest..   



...  and look what happens when I try to download a file.. pretty damn p00.  The average speed was 32Mbps.

[Chrysalis]

yeah some performance issues at the moment.

I now know my laggy internet at the time tho was caused by the zyxel as you seen in my zyxel thread, and I couldnt get a speedtest to run for more than one second.

The main reason I hopped is that new gateway doesnt support ipv6.

central10.ptw-ag03 seems ok tho, full speed right now at 8.45pm and ipv6 capable.

[kitz]

now on pcl-bng01 and still only getting average of 35Mbps on http unless I open multiple threads

[HighBeta]

BT's "A-team" is now in charge of the BGN's....... so all will be running smoothly asap

This afternoon, 7th October.

What does it affect?
Broadband connectivity.

How long will it take?
Expected to take 1 hour.

What does the work involve?
We're making some changes to parts of our broadband network.

[HighBeta]

Seems another mx960 cascade is off to the races  this evening 

[Chrysalis]

oh boy, whats happened now?

might explain why my tbb graph is so clean today and such a flat speedtest, if half the customers cant connect O_o.

[Chrysalis]

more weirdness, today decided to do a speedtest, download was fine but upload was bad, it was on every repeated test.



Then I hopped gateways and surprise surprise, see the new result, again repeated.



I then looked at my tbb graph and its been littered with packetloss 24/7, strangely this wasnt affecting download speeds only uploads.  Now after the gateway hop the packetloss is gone.

Hi Chrysalis,

This may be related to the IPv6 trial. Can you switch back to your normal username and see if that makes a difference at all please?

Thanks!
