Powerline network - Stability Issues - Page 3

Right okay. Also I checked the connection and that graph seems to have improved over last night. There still seems to be a few spikes now and then but it's definitely changed.

Update: I switched my router back over to the power strip and performance seems to have gotten worse. Am still experiencing disconnects and high latency although I'm not sure if it was performing better in the power sockets, may not have made a difference as I switched it back to them earlier and they didn't seem to make a big difference.

Still getting great Speedtest results on my iPhone too.

I decided to take a few pictures of my Superhub and the setup.

Superhub

Powerline adapter (seperate from the Superhub now)

Also here's a screenshot of an example when my ping goes ridiculously high

Hope this helps.

Hah, so he's actually referring to Ethernet over Power.

That I am.

UPDATE: Am now using an ethernet directly connected between my computer and router. It seems to be stable now and am getting the full speed but I am still experiencing lag spikes rather frequently (ranges between 500/3000) on a ping meter via Teamspeak. I am still monitoring it but that is the only problem now.

Your ping monitor shows serious problems on your internet connection. Whether or not your local network is adding to it is really irrelevant at this point, everything on your network will see packet loss and lag spikes until your internet connection is fixed.

Indeed, I acknowledge that.

Now after patiently waiting for Virgin to respond they finally came to a conclusion. I guess it has something to do with their side of things. This was their response.

Hi Luke070,

A high Utilisation fault has been reported on the cable that you are connected to.

This fault has a reference of F002274602.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I mean it will probably take them a couple of months to actually come out and fix the problem but at least the problem has been identified somewhat.
