EVERY NIGHT, at the same damn time, I've been having packet loss for over a month now. I have had three separate technicians come out and change shit over the past two weeks, including running a dedicated line to my apartment and giving me a new router, but I am still having issues. This is happening over both ethernet and wifi, and I know it's not an issue with my hardware, but my isp says they've done everything they can.
My internet is fine during the daytime; this is happening from sundown to sunrise, so I had a theory that one of the street lights being on is messing with the wires through some short or interference or something, but my isp just refused to pursue anything further. It would probably be a city utilities issues too and I probably can't get the ball rolling on that one either.
And the frustrating part is that this isn't constant. It's just losing packets for about 1-3 seconds, long enough to fuck up a connection and boot me from games and shit. Download speeds and discord chat are fine though. So when they check my connection they see everything is fine. I had to have the fucking supervisor come to my apartment and show him the packet loss through my command prompt before they realized that something is wrong.
What the fuck can I do, is there something I'm missing??? I've been wanting to stream but anything that requires a constant connection gets fucked after dark. :angery:
Upgrading my router helped me. My speed was good but the connection quality was dog shit. Turns out the 5 year old router just sucked.
They already did that :/
