Packet loss and generally crap connection tonight

@Yayzi_Team how many days is the next few days out of interest? :crazy_face:

Latency is still garbage at around 6PM. Iā€™m sure you are dealing with more pressing issues, but it would be nice to get an update, even an ā€œinitial findingsā€ would be great.

I get the same, but it doesnā€™t appear to be as bad: But honestly, I donā€™t even feel the latency

Ultimately the latency that you are seeing here could be due to peak times which in turn isnā€™t 100% avoidable. Would you say this latency you are having actually impacts your internet experience? Or is it just a case of you can see it so you want it fixed?

Itā€™s like a having a car with soft suspension on a pot hole filled road, yes you see it, but barely feel it

40ms ping is definitely not high ping. But that could be because Iā€™m used to it in previous ISPs

I donā€™t think it is, but I am used to Virgin Media

What do you mean by that :eyes::joy:

Regardless of if I want it fixed, thereā€™s multiple posts of people seeing the same thing.

See my quoted post above, saying the exact same thing further up, I suspect it is avoidable once the root cause is found. Otherwise Yayzi should have a disclaimer saying, ā€œYou will get ultra low latency throughout the day but please note we have network contention on our network - or another issue on somebody elseā€™s network that is beyond our control that is causing latency to spike at pretty much the same time everydayā€ To save themselves the earache

In the corporate world, especially IT, slowdowns are not acceptable when they can be pinpointed to a specific time of day, everyday.

Yayzi have acknowledged it and said they would provide feedback.

Iā€™m not ranting or having a dig by the way. As Yayzi grow, more and more people will, without a shadow of a doubt start complaining.

Try to game and download at the same time, your loaded ping will rocket

Thats not true if setup correctly. SQM deals with it fine.

Issue could also be that itā€™s CityFibres switches/routing in the POPs. As no matter how fast/efficient Yayzis core is the main line is CityFibre. I do understand that fibre should be a hell of a lot better latency wise but it doesnā€™t and never will be the same latency during prime time. The only way you could get the same latency in peak and non peak would be a lease line.

Will definitely do

I just tested on my home connection - 7ms ping, vs my parents house (VM connection still) 24ms - I know which Iā€™d rather ride out a latency spike on

Iā€™ll try a buffer float test when I am at home

I should have clarified, I mean on the Virgin HFC connection that Iā€™m used toā€¦ the ping suffers if you load it

It has been exactly 1 week I have been with CF

Agreed, but I am agreeing with you

True, if only the UK infrastructure was built like other counties.

Just out of interest what router are you running?

The provided EX820v is not particularly great for buffer bloat Iā€™ve found.

Opnsense running on Proxmox with an i7-13700 and Intel nics. SQM is CPU intensive, doesnā€™t need the same processing power that deep packet inspection or encryption/decryption requires but needs some to get to 2gbps.

Rule #1 is potato hardware = potato performance

@Avalon has a good recommendation with the Flint2 https://amzn.eu/d/8tdylpt which is decently priced by the look of it.
No experience with it myself and donā€™t know if the MediaTek Quad-core inside it has enough grunt to handle SQM above 1gbps without trawling other forums. Avalon may be able to answer.

This was done on the non-ideal conditions on Wi-Fi using an iPhone 11 Pro Max, connected to a Wi-Fi five access point

Iā€™d love to, unfortunately like you I tend to run PC based routers and have done since the days when Smoothwall was cool, or I did till last month when it was time to renew my ā€˜Hate on Unifiā€™ credentials. Itā€™s literally the same SoC (with less RAM) as the ASUS TUF-AX6000 which also runs a WRT fork and I have seen posts about 2Gb SQM being OK, so I wouldnā€™t expect an obvious issue.

Sooner or later a Flint2 will land on my doorstep for testing, it just needs to be when Mrs Avalon is away for a few days as sheā€™s still not forgiven me or Yayzi for the 38hrs outage :sob:
