Line Quality

Hello and welcome from the Dark side.

I have recently changed my ISP from Virgin to BT and wow I am noticing a tremendous difference :)

 

One question, my line is now by DSL but have noticed that when I do a BB test I only get a reading for Bb and Speed. The Quality reading is grey with a - sign.

Is this nor all.

 

Answers on a post card please

Closing date is today ;)

I thought it was just me.  I used to get all 3 grades as of a few days ago and now I get the blank under quality as well.  Wth?  Anyone else?

i noticed this last night when i set my sliders think it's a bug with dsl now and again.

Thanks guys :) at least that explains it thought I was going senile as I'm sure I have had all three reading previously :)

Glad you have moved from cable and can feel the difference Macca that is great to hear. :)

 

Now if only everyone would do that we wouldn't have as many juddery players in our lobbies. ;)

I was talking about the UK and how Virgin cable is not good for players.

its all good! Wasn't being a dick. Just some of us have to beat up the evil cable empire to get our line in order. I owe half of that to you zen master!

I did not think you were, I just thought I better mention the UK before it could be taken the wrong way :)

Yep, been happening to me aswell the last 2 days, not sure if it's just a bug or not but I was just told to ignore it.

 

Also, don't convince me to go away from Virgin, it sounds like a ball ache!

I'm, on fibre to the cabinet and I get this on occasion as well, it varies as to which one greys out but if I go back a bit later it usually fixes itself.

Cable is very stable. I've run -t /ping to Google for ten minutes with the highest spike being 10ms above the lowest ping. DSL isn't nearly as stable. Of course fiber is the most stable, but all of this depends on the provider

I get this but I did it on purpose so you know with my vigorous testing I was going to find it. ;)

 

I get the " - " reading without the " because I set Dslreports to test against only 1 server, being in Australia and my geo-filter being set in my country I set it to AU, NSW and even though this is not my state it's testing my country alone.

 

My results can be seen in my signature, you'll see in the bottom (BB optimised) pic there's no quality grade.
