poor connection due to roblox

[Sicog]

I have frequent problems with my connection speed.I am a fair way from my nearest exchage on copper wires due to rural location.It seems that a period of slow connectivity really messes my connection up.Have been talking to support about 8 times and even had an engineer out once or twice.It seems to kick off when my son, who is a keen gamer,coonects to the roblox servers.Then the ping starts increasing and fluctuating eventually causing disconnects.Often a router reboot helps for a bit but not always.Doesn`t seem to be any other servers to use and not sure roblox will help.Any ideas or similar experiences anyone ?

As soon as he connects to roblox the latency start to fluctuate up to 300-1000 ms ,then back to normal.

So far it hasn`t slowed our connection but I am sure it will eventually !

Do I now return the old router ?

Hi Sicog

I have ordered you a replacement router, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Please let us know how the connection/speed compares with this router.

Thanks

Hello,

Ok, thanks for confirming. Have you recently tested with a different router? If not then we can send a replacement router for testing purposes to rule this out. We would also send a router returns bag so that one of the routers can be returned.

Thanks

Phone line is fine.Master socket is Mk4 5c , test socket is behind front plate.Been tested repeatedly previously and no fault found.

Morning,

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've run a test on the line now which hasn't detected a fault, however I can see that the sync speed has dropped and I can see a few re-connections on the line which can affect the performance and speed of the connection. Is there any noise on the voice service? Does your main socket also have a test socket please?

Thanks
