Well i play online games like battlefield and use teamspeak ,but i kept getting packet loss? Winmtr and TS have built in checkers..

But it seems it's just packet loss going out ,80% of the time,at times it increases as well and Teamspeak just gets terrible and i feel some lag in the game ,though the latency is still stable?

I've noticed the packet loss getting worse when i speak on teamspeak..

I have tried 3 accounts,uncapped from mweb(premium) ,5gb from afrihost and 40gb fatpipe unshaped vox telecom ..

They all do the same thing ...so where do i go from here?
 
That would most likely be a line problem. Or the teamspeak server is just broken. How much % of packet loss do you get on average on teamspeak?

nope,went on 2 other TS servers and they all do the same ,it goes up and down... At a "stable" packet loss i get 5% out,when speaking it goes from 5% to 10% or sometimes 40-50%...

And sometimes the "in" peaks up as well making the ts horrible ,around 10pm it seems to go down and more stable to use ts again..but until 10pm it terrible

What ISP are you with? speed? This past weekend i had an out problem as well but i just plugged out my LAN cable and plugged it back in and it worked.. I did have line packet loss a few times but with that you can't even play games it just times you out.
 
Hmmm, A bit high to be honest.


Could you also post your line stats please, found in your router?

Disagree with testing above...might still be packet loss from line issues though.

Packet loss won't show up on tracert easily.

I'd try something like "ping -n 100 www.google.co.za" rather and check the packet loss stats there. (Conveniently summarized at the bottom)

Packet loss = congested exchange = tracert
