What is the underlying reason for NNTP issues?

Sitting at between 400 and 500 atm.
 
Rebooted modem, Adobe Flash player download crawling at snails pace, not good

I did that update yesterday and it also took almost forever. Everything else seemed fine, though.

okay, so trying something else, like a 1GB video off youtube, looks much better, so maybe it was just an Adobe thing
 
Errr, what's going on here? Massive packet loss on local sites.

Nothing. What you're seeing are servers along the route not setup to respond to ICMP packet relay requests properly.

They responded fine a few hours ago though? Those are the same servers I've always been testing MTR with.
(Btw, I'm not noticing any bad performance, in fact my connectivity seems pretty stable today - just finding the MTR interesting)

Those servers do not respond properly to ICMP packet relay requests.

I can assure you.

Well that explains that. Like I said, no bad performance here, so I don't mind. Just need to find a specific server to test MTR with.

PS: That packet loss issue on my 3rd hop at the exchange (between the exchange and the peering link) seems to have disappeared too. Which is awesome, but now I wonder if I should go ahead with the port diversion which is scheduled for tomorrow :wtf:

1) test to our site.
2) go ahead with it. An issue was picked up, and exchange issues are by their nature intermittent. If they've proposed a fix, go for it.
 
Whatever networking you've added to your networking has made your network work. Bandwidth and latency is sorted. I really do appreciate the hard work.

Now how do I figure out if my exchange is dodge and how do I go about getting it sorted?
 
NNTP still slow, only getting 300kb/s on 10m line. When will this get fixed? I understand you are having problems but it's not making a very good first impression. This is a capped account and was supposed to be completely unshaped.
 
weird stuff happening, 187MB MS update downloaded chop chop (a couple of minutes), 273MB AMD driver download, crawling 31KB/s over 2 hours predicted
 
hmmm should we really measure a broadband connection against nntp and torrents? Looking at the last 2 pages + that is all I see. A PM to CW or a chat to support (If not done before the MyBB post) would be more effective though. Just FYI CW, I did some tests from legal sources like steam, Amd, YouTube etc..., all seems to work fine.
