Latency and dropped packets since yesterday, anyone else?

No issues here in my little corner of Hyde Park.

Thanks for the heads up. It seems to have cleared up for now. Hope not to deal with it again!

Reading both the descriptions of the Line Monitor and Smokeping, it would seem like Smokeping is better mainly because of this point in the Smokeping description:

"Because our implementation of SmokePing uses LARGE packet sizes, and each data point on the graph is not just a single measurement, but many pings, the graph is more sensitive than normal ping plotting programs and will uncover latency variability or loss that may only show up when the line is under fairly heavy use."

Does anyone else agree?

they are different.
on dslr smokeping last only a few days while line monitor is longer term, more people use it and you can see other people's results.

Well at most Smokeping can run for 2 weeks but I also pointing out how Smokeping works vs how the Line Monitor tests. For comparison and long term monitoring than yes I'd agree the Line Monitor is preferable. If Smokeping ever became long term and were able to compare it against others than it would seem to be the better choice.

Oddly enough, I got a new IP, and the typical 'spikiness' I've been experiencing seems to have stopped:

check 4th channel on your modem?

I've had 5 since I got the Arris. And 4 before that on the Moto.
