Strangely slow internet problems :(

ok, using a netcomm NB6Plus4W and before that i was using the cheapest tplink from msy.

At the moment, the internet is working really well..... So its being weird, as so far teh ping test is really not positive

Running the ping test now.

 

Thats the one I did the other day, ran for all of 5 minutes.


Here is one I did today



ran for 10minutes

 

That's to the first hop? With the line isolated? Fuckin LOL. Send that to internode support easily a degraded line.

Just to give some perspective mate:

You can see the first hop for me there, at like a few ms....that's what it should be
Also, didnt realise how many border router iinet has, jumping all over the place

Also, more perspective:

Notice the packet sizes im using, and the fact that the line is fairly constant no matter what I use.

 

I had a similar issue on a DSL1 line that went through a rim and therefore Tel$stra before my ISP.

Can you please try this in windows command prompt

tracert 192.231.203.132

and post the results (blank out anything that you think is too personal but leave the data)?

That IP is Internodes Name Server "resolv". It could be an individual box or a cluster, I don't know, but it should certainly be in their internal network, even if publically available. That way we minimise external factors.

I suspect you are screwed as I was and the problem will be in the first hop(s) and "layer2" as mentioned in the previous posts.

I won't suggest any other stuff till we get basics, but if two ISP's give same results, it's either your network (unlikely as you've replaced cabling and routers) or line(most likely).

Sorry to sound like a condescending git, but I did ADSL, SHDSL and other layer 2/3 technology support for the best part of a decade.

Please let us know.

 

nah you are all good, thanks heaps for all the help.

thanks what i got.
