Inconsistent and high latency

[simhub1985]

Hi

I need some help please with ping that regularly spikes to about 200ms and will sometimes stay like that for hours.  At other times it's more like 30ms and stable.  The issue seems to be with the first hope from my house to TalkTalk.  Is there anything you can do to diagnose this please?

Thanks

Simon

Morning,

Thank you. I've run a test on the line now which is clear. I can see from your post above that this also happens if you connect wired at the ONT, is this right? Does it seem to happen at certain times of the day? If you run a speed test when the latency increases, are the speed also low?

It's the same I'm afraid, brief periods when ping is about 5ms but mostly unstable and over 100ms.

Assuming the 150M service is over full fibre, what is it like if you connect the PC directly to the ONT, in place of the router?

Hi Keith

This is on a PC with ethernet to the router.  I have Fibre 150.

[KeithFrench]

Are these on wired (Ethernet) or Wi-Fi connected devices? If the latter, which Wi-Fi band are they using, the 2.4 or 5GHz?

What package are you on?
