No. No need then. Seems you have an issue with upload. 48% packet loss isnt great at all even at half the line speed. What you can do is reduce the 90 until it shows no packet loss and then post that.

Will try, thanks for the tip.

Additionally, use the latest version of iperf3 to avoid any erroneous packet loss results - older versions would count out of order datagrams towards total loss.


Some comparisons below, same test, diff versions 80% of line upload

@PBCool @TheRoDent If possible, wouldn't it make sense to sticky the latest troubleshooting tools with some instructions to the first post of the thread? Things like iperf, PingPlotter, etc.

200Mbps upload and download. Should it then be 190 instead of 90?

So if you're on 200/200 then 90Mbps upload should not have any packet loss.

The best way is to test with something basic for upload, like 10Mbps. If that's still showing loss then it's definately a line issue, and needs to be investigated. Either cabling from your PC to the router, or from the router to the ONT. Finally it could then be the actual ONT uplink to the POP itself, or the ONT itself, which Vumatel will have to check.

48% loss on upload will definately affect your upload performance, but it is strange that it improved a bit after your winsock reset.

Another way to narrow down the issue is to try and connect directly to the ONT with your PC and test just to eliminate the router.

If it persists please log a ticket stating that you have upload packetloss with a copy of the UDP upload results.

Will do! Thanks a million for your help!

"but it is strange that it improved a bit after your winsock reset."

Probably a coincidence. The upload has been pretty inconsistent for weeks. Sometimes dead, sometimes fine-ish.

Also thanks to everyone for helping me with the iperf stuff too.

@PBCool @TheRoDent If possible, wouldn't it make sense to sticky the latest troubleshooting tools with some instructions to the first post of the thread? Things like iperf, PingPlotter, etc.

Or add it to a trouble shooting page on your website , where we can easily direct customers to go to for all the test details. Because at some point these threads fill up, they get closed and then all is lost.

Just trying to get clarity on this, you mentioned it's a second connection of some sort:

Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

OS dead (pta/east)? Or just the darkness :rolleyes:
mybroadband.co.za

But never gave clarity on how so, then you mentioned a route issue.

If the session is dead it is a line down, so seeing where the team is on it with the FNO.

Update: Your session shows as up so we suspect it's more config related, so some clarity on the setup would help us help you resolve?

Can I get feedback?

I assume Amazon are saying due to Covid they cannot secure capacity on WACS to route traffic correctly to Frankfurt and we should ignore the fact that they used the correct route for around 4 days straight due to the cable outage? :)

Yes can we get a reply :), as mentioned your session is up so we need more information on your setup to assist in troubleshooting.

Either you guys aren’t communicating internally or you aren’t communicating to me.
A lady called me this morning and said someone would come back to me and I’ve heard nothing.

It doesn’t matter what my setup is I’ve tried 3 different devices and a PC directly into the ONT.
Still nothing - can’t dial PPPOE.

This is what I told the lady that called me this morning….

Has anything been done or do you still think this is not a you issue?

Tayla has been in contact with us yes. We've dropped the existing PPP session that you have, and your IP is pingable.

The previous session had been up 15 hours, but wasn't doing any upload traffic, just a little bit of download traffic. What is strange then is that when you tried the 3 different devices, the old session didn't time out, and we had to manually disconnect it. Not that that should have made a difference in re-establishing another session, as we do allow multiple sessions.

I did request Tayla to contact you earlier this afternoon to do further diagnostics, reset your router to defaults, and do further tests, but she had not yet had time to contact you.

Do you have connectivity now ? The only thing we've done is to drop your old session.

Octotel peeps. How's the packet loss?

Octotel replaced my ONT yesterday afternoon and all seems fine for me but I really don't think it can be that simple...

I am taking over an OpenServe fibre line at a new property and moving it to CISP. The previous owner told me his service is cancelled but it will only terminate the end of the month. The OpenServe technician phoned today and told me he left the existing service on port 1 of the ONT and the new service will be on port 2. He also gave me a B number. Is this the same B number as the previous install? Slightly confused.

They can assign a new B number on the second port, which will be different from the old one. You can let our team know about the new B number on port2, and when you get your router it can be connected on port 2.

Thank you for the explanation. I updated the ticket with the B number. I never had the original B number. The representative replied that OpenServe is still configuring. Will wait on that. Thanks.

I am on Vuma Reach and I assume Cool Ideas uses CGNAT for this since everyone else does. @PBCool @TheRoDent is there anyway for me to get a Public IP address for my line since I’m pretty sure it’s one of the reasons I struggle to find games or lose connection on FIFA 21 which uses P2P matchmaking.
