Bad bufferbloat on the download side


Recommended Posts

Hi all. Sorry about all my annoying questions. Had my speed upgraded yesterday. I have the upload dialed in as best I can, but my download bufferbloat constantly spikes and when it doesn't, it's steady at around 25+ Ms, which is too high for me. The lower I set my slider, the worse it gets. But no matter what I have it set to, it spikes to 700+ and back down, then back up again.

 

I'm out of ideas. Since my upgrade yesterday, gaming has been miserable for me. Back to shooting rubber bullets and getting insta-killed with no time to react. Beyond frustrating. Any advice would be appreciated.

Bufferbloat or lag only occurs when your network is saturated & Anti-Bufferbloat does not allow your connection to become saturated so bufferbloat never becomes an issue. Our deep packet inspection also analyses the first few packets of the test which is why you're getting misreadings.

 

What's the average ping of the games you're getting?

Yeah, it may be TOO good with the geofilter on. I don't know if this means anything,but when I test on dslreports, my line quality is always a C. Is that rating meaningless? Could I possibly have an ISP issue?

 

I'd follow this guide directly to the modem to see if you have an ISP issue: http://forum.netduma.com/topic/23881-ping-plotter-quick-guide/
