Honey Badger WS Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 hi Ive run buffer bloat 4 times in 5 mins and get different results. Is this common. is it also worrying that my idle is so high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca65 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yes, it is common I spent hours doing it one day and almost every test was different. Your idle will be high with your sliders set at 100%. Try reducing in down to 70% as a starting point, and wait at least 5 mins before each test. Have you tried ping plotter, this will give you a more detailed analysis of what is going on with your line. DSL reports will only give you a snap shot of what is happening during that specific test. PP can give you a lot more data over the duration of the test, minutes/hours etc You can then interpret the results your self or post them on here if you are not sure what it means :)and some one will be able to advise you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Badger WS Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 my mistake posted the wrong picture my anti flood was set to 60/60 and this proved the best results on DSL Report test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca65 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 anti flood 60.png my mistake posted the wrong picture my anti flood was set to 60/60 and this proved the best results on DSL Report test No probs, I found that during different times of the day the sliders went up, or down depending on the results. There is a video on YT by Sim that goes into it in greater detail, it's worth a look. I got into the habit of just testing it just before I played and then alter the sliders accordingly. But to be honest the games are so inconsistent I don't bother anymore I just jump in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Badger WS Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 That's the guy I watched on you tube. He's the reason I tried it on mine. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonicBoom Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Are those tests at 60/60 anti-flood? Are you testing over ethernet? Can you post up a pic of your Internet Diagnosis from the Netduma please? Make sure you click 'show details' and post up that bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Badger WS Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yes 60/60 I was connected via ethernet. Will post the other photos when I get home. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The results will vary at different times of the day and what's going on with your network.The guidelines of 70/70 are just that a guidelines starting point for people to tweak from there, as everyone's network is different. Some can run CC at 99/99 and others run 70/70 and are fine.If you've got a busy network your not gonna be able to do the 99/99 thing as there is no overhead to eliminate local congestion (on your own network) I run 60/80 and leave the flower as is and it gives me A+ across the board on a regular basis, you just have to dial your network in, the numbers don't have to be the same, maybe try 60/80 or 70/80 etc until you get it where you want it. And as Boom said when you post your results hit "show details" as that will tell us a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSXS Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 My BB is pretty consistent at 70/70, I can run it anytime during the day and I have lol and I get A+, A, A+ every time. Only everyonce in awhile it comes back in the B or C grade but run it again and its right back in the A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Badger WS Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ive set my download to 60 % and upload to 75. this seems to be best result. i get buffer bloat A and quality A* sorry to be a pain I just find this so interesting..... And i know what you going to say..... everything looks good and your just crap at call of duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ive set my download to 60 % and upload to 75. ping result 29 3 2017d.png this seems to be best result. i get buffer bloat A and quality A* sorry to be a pain I just find this so interesting..... And i know what you going to say..... everything looks good and your just crap at call of duty Honestly, I've found dslreport's tests to be very very inaccurate. I'd take what it says lightly. If you want to measure more accurately use ping plotter and start a download/upload. Then adjust the congestion control sliders to reduce the jitter as much as possible.

XSXS Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Uh oh, you are getting conflicting advise, I don't trust ping plotter and my experience with DSL reports has always been spot on, no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Uh oh, you are getting conflicting advise, I don't trust ping plotter and my experience with DSL reports has always been spot on, no good! DSL reports shows packet loss on my line... Every other ping test (ping plotter, command prompt ping, and my personal smoke ping server) shows 0 packet loss over a weeks time. Which is wrong?

They are probably Different for everyone due to our isps, hops being different and geolocation. The only ping test that appear to be 100% accurate is done via command prompt for me. But then again my PC may just be too cheap or something. It's not even Gigabit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't matter unless the ethernet port was bad and causing issues. Ping command is very basic, think about it... old routers are very slow compared to a desktop cpu and can handle ping commands fine when they are built into the firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The way I run my DSL reports] test is to run PP while running the DSL reports test and stream a youtube video at the same time. The thing your looking for is how your network behaves and reacts UNDER LOAD,so I'm trying to stress my connection as much as I can. It's a very effective method for testing.And you get instant feedback from PP so make sure you can see that while it's running during the tests.
