Problems with Latency / Lag Spikes / Packet-loss

Around april, I have switch my contracct from 500 Mbps to 1000 Mbps. At the same time I was provided a new modem by Vodafone. Since then I have been having frequent, sporadic, issues with my connection: lag spikes, packet loss, connection drops.

 

The issues could occure at any time of day or night.

About half of the time I could solve the issue by a modem restart.

 

The problems only became worse over time. Since about 3 weeks, the packet loss seems to be constant. Restarting the modem does not help. Online games are unplayable.

 

I have made a ticket via phone customer suppor. The ticket was closed the same day stating that no issues could be obeserved on Vodafone's end and i need to check it on my side.

The modem and cables were provided by Vodafone. The Modem configuration was also done by Vodafone.

There is nothing to check on my side.

 

I have provided below measurements that I did over time with PingPlotter.

Hey,

 

I'd be happy to take a look at the connection 🙂 Do you send me your customer data (customer number, name, address and date of birth of the contract holder) via private message?

 

Then please let me know in the post when you have sent me the data.

Regards

 

Tobias

Hello,

 

Thanks for the reply. I have sent you my customer data.

Hello,

 

Since a month I have not received an answer to the connection issues.

 

Although the situation seems to have improved a little, the issues still happen very frequently.

 

I have attached some more measurements.

The issues seem to start even from the very first loop, where there is always high latency between my house and the Vodafone network .

Hi Adrian123,

Sorry that you have not received an answer yet. Does it get better after a restart of the cable router?

Best regards, Martin

The measurements I have posted were after a router restart.

However the situations with very high latency issues seem to be solved by a router reset.

 

I am observing issues also on my smartphones, with youtube videos sporadically not starting/hanging and video-calls sporadically hanging. On 4G (also Vodafone) I do not have these issues.

Hello Adrian123,

 

we may try and replace the modem to see if that helps. Shall I make the task for that?

 

Kind regards,

Claudia

Ok.

How will it go, I first receive the exchange router, and then I send my current one back?
