Packet Loss All of a Sudden?!

[Jay Simlian]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else in capetown has experienced packet loss with games like fortnite and apex legends. I have played online games for more than a year now on my 40 meg line but never have I experienced packet loss like the last few days...any advice would be appreciated. most of the games are somewhat playable with high ping but packet loss is terrible and ruins it completely

The basics persons will need to know to assist you based on your question above:
a. Where you are located. The cape peninsula is quite vast.
b. Which ISP you use since when.

This being said, sure others will not have an issue, thus to move forward.
All connectivity issues require two points to answer to solve issues.
a. Trace path ping to say 8.8.8.8 over time.
b. Bandwidth use for your WAN connection over time.
