Not getting full 2.5gb speed

Yes he has avast but I disabled the shields on it whilst running the test

@mikekilley the other pc is only wireless at the minute tho does this make a difference.

@Avalon so quick update I disabled the avast shield and windows security shield and does look like download is slightly quicker

The other PC would need atleast a wifi 6 card in it and be pretty close to the Yayzi wifi. If you go into the wifi card on the other PC it’ll show you thre signal strength, anything below 1000mbps and the test is pointless.

Ideally you need 2 PC’s both with atleast a 2.5gbps nic going into a 2.5gbps switch going into the Yayzi 2.5 lan port for iperf to accurately rule out anything.

Safe mode with networking should of ruled out AV or any software.

Right guys I feel like a titšŸ˜‚. It’s working now for some strange reason I didn’t realise he had antivirus installed as waasa hidden not sure how he done that the little S***. Now see speeds below

One other thing I’ve just remembered. I don’t use the supplied router, so I don’t even know if this is available on the EX820v. If you’ve got QoS (Quality of Service) enabled on the router - switch it off (and make sure it stays off always). Despite what this feature promises, I’ve only ever found it (on other brands of router) to be more of a hassle - and in some cases it can even affect speeds levels when only one device is active.

For the sake of completeness, I would be tempted not just to disable it, but actually uninstall it.

that solved it mate sorry for wasting everyone time

I’m glad you’ve got it sorted Shaun, I was 100% sure the issue wasn’t at our end, I’m happy I’m not going crazy, yet! :joy: Enjoy your new stupidly fast broadband :eyes:

No need to apologise, half the fun is hunting down the issue and sometimes it’s the more obscure stuff, does it also improve the gaming situation?

I’m waiting for my ā€˜Unofficial Yayzi Customer Retentions/Technical Support’ badge :smiley:

Still less than they have been. I was getting around 1.8Gb all the time before going on to the new subnet. Then it’s been quite variable. Nothing’s changes my end so I know it’s not a dodgy antivirus :wink:

Fortnite in-game latency is hitting 10% regularly this evening as well. Yesterday afternoon, there wasn’t much at all and the most I saw was 1% but it hardly came up. Tonight, it’s really bad - pretty much constant in-game with the disconnection symbol coming up all the time and yeah, up to 10% - sorry - just hit 14% packet loss. 15% now - solidly bad.

So Yayzi guys, something to look at - your network/connectivity tonight versus yesterday afternoon.

Cheers.

ps just saw 27%!!

Yes amazing speeds I now have one happy son. I have also updated my Trustpilot review :facepunch:

Aw thank you!! We’re really trying to improve our Trustpilot score, so I genuinely appreciate that.

But more importantly I’m glad you’re all sorted that’s the main thing :slightly_smiling_face:

Fortnite in-game packet loss has been a pretty much constant 10-20% tonight - not very helpful. I think I’m going to have to switch back to VM for the time being make sure that is still running with zero packet loss and then seriously consider cancelling the cancellation with them. Are you seeing anything at all your end?

Cheers.

So, flipped everyone over to VM for tonight’s gaming. Absolutely 0% in-game packet loss, no disconnection warnings, nothing. No problems at all.

So, it’s pretty conclusive as far as I can see, Cable plugged in to ONT - issues. Cable plugged in to VM hub - no issues. So, the only difference in set up is where the cable goes once it has left my network. So, assume this is a routing/peering issue.

Cheers.

I don’t play Fortnite (gimmie some Quake or UT any day!), but i’d imagine if for example you were using an ISP who’s geolocation lead to Epic connecting you to a US server for example, then the sort of things you describe could happen. Hopefully at some point quite soon, we may be able to test that theory with a UK geo-location.

Both VM and Yayzi connections result in being connected to the European server. What I have seen though is variations in the traceroutes to the EU server. Sometimes it’s just 17 hops, other times it is 21. With VM it was 16 hops so again, seems like a routing/peering issue to me.

ps. I was an RTCW kind of person. That was the multiplayer for me! Simpler times…!!

Hmm, again tonight, this reminds me of the bad days of oversubscription with VM…

Taking a look at this now, we have no capacity issues on the network but that does seem like a capacity issue somewhere. Checking in with CityFibre NOC. Will keep you updated

not sure is this will help but i was running AVG internet security antivirus and this was holding me back i uninstalled and now hitting full speeds.
