Hello!


What you need to do is to monitor your linestats over a period of time and then post a graph/screenshot here to better understand the problem! You can use tools like Routerstats lite (if your modem is not supported, you could try adding it)!
This will give us an idea as to what happens to your connection.

If you are unable to generate a graph, you could provide your linestats for before and after 7 pm for comparison!

Ahmed

Hello Again!


Yes, it is a technique to throttle 'heavy' users during peak hours ... but I am not aware of it being implemented here in Pakistan ... though I believe users downloading 'illegal' torrents should be throttled, but, it should be open and transparent policy to make it clear before sign up!

On the other hand, many things start generating 'noise' in the evening like fluorescent lights that can interfere with dsl and wireless connections. That is why monitoring stats for line noise can help to understand the underlying issue.

Your line stats for before (when there is no problem) and after 7 pm (when there is issue). It might vary a little but should look like



depending upon make and model of your router/modem.

Normal DSL user here, after 7 PM the latency climbs and speed falls from most of the servers. It clears up after 11.30 PM though. I think this happens because most of the DSL users are on shared DSL rather than a dedicated line for every single customer.

Thanks for posting the stats! Though, I would also like to see the error rates (FEC, ES and SES) but if the line stats don't change then we can atleast put that to rest.

As far as solution is concerned, you could ask PTCL to shift you to a less congested dslam ... might have to pursue it ... a visit to the exchange might help ... would be difficult as they usually don't do that due to bandwidth issues as bandwidth is shared ... there is also no guarantee that the other dslams would not be crowded as well!

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
