Morning, NewBiks. I haven't received any reports of issues that might have affected our network last night. I passed last night's feedback onto our NOC Team, though. How is performance at the moment?
 
Hi guys

My router syncs at 5mbs, snr between 9-10, attenuation d 49.2 up 30. Is it normal that speed tests only reflect 3.9mbs or below.

Openserve has started syncing some 4Mbps DSL Lines on 5Mbps to make sure that you get as close as possible to 4Mbps.

Are there specific times when you seeing speeds below 4Mbps?

Nope its throughout the day. Its not a problem, just thought I would be able to get speeds above 4mbps. Atleast the speed is now 3.9mbps and occasionally just above 4mbps.

Looks okay from what I can see. :)
 
Better be good streaming till sunday,gonna be mad if i cant watch me Le Mans.:twisted:
 
jdido87 said:
So all that * does not indicate a problem then?
Click to expand...

Generally no. ICMP traffic isn't prioritized often, so some network devices may not respond to all ICMP requests.

As long as you're not seeing packet loss in a game or your streaming service. :)
