Internet diagnosis

It's only a snapshot.

While it may be accurate, it will only be accurate for the brief time it runs.

And only if the Google DNS server that it pings is also behaving itself at the time.

 

You really want to run multiple tests, at peak time, for much longer periods, to multiple servers, if you want to know how solid your line is.

yes, read the instructions, pretty simple to follow and let it run for several hours, try at peak times if you can. Then post a picture up here and there are plenty of people here who can interpret the graph for you

Also, if you right click on the graph (along the bottom) you can make it show more data on one screen (the default only shows about 2 mins I think), a quick right click and you can have it show hours instead.

We need to see a plot of a decent time period, not just a minute or two.

 

You can save the data as a PP file too, which means you can reload the data and change the parameters at a later date (in case you post up the wrong image and have already closed pingplotter down).

 

Test wired over ethernet too obviously.

 

As Bagsta said, in the UK we generally test to the BBC website and twitter as Google DNS has been a bit weird lately.
