iAmMoDBoX Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Let it go for at least a day to see what it shows at all times of the day... I typically go with Michigan as it's the most accurate and stable. Kansas is actually Virginia, but it goes a little wild at times. Overall I'd say that's a typical cable connection ColonicBoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 i always do 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, since dns servers respond much more reliably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr fncypants Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Why can't I get smooth buffer bloat tests? The idle and down load is usually high? How can I fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr fncypants Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I have had the same drama with google too dropping packets. Why is that? Which dns server should I use? Should I run dns bench mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zennon Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Its a good cable line I think, I have seen some atrocious plots in the past and yours fine for the type of broadband you have, is it affected by time of day? say peak time 7pm onwards. I also see bad results sometimes to Google's DNS I feel for people using it in their consoles etc. I use OpenDNS you can use DNS Bench to find one that suits you.

iAmMoDBoX Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 so nothing to worry about Yeah the lowest I've tested without problems is 1 second. That's what doing a ping command in command prompt does and it works fine so pingplotter should be okay too. Other say use 2.5, even their website says it.. But I find it to be too slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I find it to be too slow They seem to have removed the sub-1-second interval now, it's missing from my Mac version at least. I can't remember if the 1 sec interval used to bug out too or if it was just sub-1 interval, either way it seems to be fine now. I've only tested it briefly though.
