 1 edit | [IL] Wow! 85% packet loss with 50/5 service (See update) How accurate is this test? I'm wondering if I am gaining anything with the 50/5 service.
Update... Thanks to Chad, I feel much better - thanks Chad!


After applying Chad's fix...

I have sent you a message with something you can try to see what is causing the packet loss. |

Re: [IL] Wow! 85% packet loss with 50/5 service (See update) Ok, I have to ask this. You didn't actually think you had that kind of packet loss did you? |

I think he did. Btw that website doesn't work for me. I always get some crazy packet loss like 80% or so... -- I speak for myself, not my employer. |

 | In the firewall settings, turn off the blocking of icmp commands and everything should be fine for that website. Why speedtest sites and ping test sites are more valued over the real world performance is beyond me. Want to know you pings, go to command prompt. Want to test your speed, download a HD movie or some other large file. Hell just do what you do, If it does what you want and expect your fine. Why use some inconsistent crappy site to tell you. |
