    Hi all,

    At the end of my tether with the quality of our connection at this stage. The quality is so changeable, within the time it takes to refresh speedtest I can have gone from a ping of 30ms and ~10mb download speed and then on the next one I regularly hit 600/700+ and less than 1mb... This makes it unusable for gaming and streaming.

    I know our line quality is poor and we're limited to 10mb by that (according to vodafone) but this poor quality is only a recent development. It's never been great but until a month ago has been fine for gaming and streaming Sky Go etc.. The house is now all on the ethernet so it should be consistent.

    We've an engineer coming to look at the line next week but just looking for ideas/to whinge...

    I can only suggest monitoring your router stats over time and see if there is a trend. I came across this (http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/log_routerstats.htm) a while ago, might be useful to you if you can get it working with your router.

    If the fluctuations are huge like that its likely an intermittent line fault thats decimating throughput/error rates. The technician should be able to fix it.
