Fortnite packet loss Pc
Hi everyone,
I've had a major issue for over 1 year with optus nbn they couldn't get it resolved.
i was on their top nbn 100 plan + speed ball, BS if you ask me.
I'm currently running a new High end gaming Pc ethernet connection and what happened was severe Packet loss in game, up and down hovers around 1-3% but while in action it will dramatically increase to sometimes 60%, high ping spikes sometimes 1000 ms and stupid lag.
Over the year they sent out nbn techs and optus techs, they changed the nbn modem and router they gave me TWICE!!
They made me run all pc edits and "fixes" like dns flush, network resets, sending speed tests, trace routes, set up VPN, Dynamic Dns, some windows change settings, port forwarding, connect to wifi (which at times was a bit better), reset pc to factory, reset modems and routers, changed dns to google and they kept changing my ip address and it kept getting worse AND on top of everything they told me to go buy a gaming router which i spent $500 on a xr500 and NOTHING HELPED. Finally i called it quits and after 25 years with them they said" sorry we cant help you".
So i got out of the contract free off charge and signed with Telstras Premium Package.
So far so good, but i'm still receiving packet loss and ping spikes, not as bad but its still restricting me from playing competitive online multiplayer gaming and Stream.
I've ran test with Telstra speed test my server is Chatswood!? i currently live in Punchbowl Sydney NSW, with a HFC connection tests are 90 down 16 up on average and average 8ms.
ANY ONE care to help with my issue please?
I've done all game fixes and contacted the tech help from several games and still they said its from my ISP's end. SERVER BLOCKS?

Re: Fortnite packet loss Pc
Chatswood is a hub to telstras core network so no issue do you have any traceroute or ping plotter results the the game server you're connecting to that show the loss?

Re: Fortnite packet loss Pc
Try downloading and running pingplotter while you're gaming
https://www.pingplotter.com/
If you experience issues, send through a screenshot of the pingplotter results at the time it happens

Re: Fortnite packet loss Pc
Do a plot to the same address you used in the tracert command.

Re: Fortnite packet loss Pc
Playing the game will simulate the load on the PC and the network. With no load on the network there is unlikely to be heavy packet loss. So it would be better to leave the test running while playing a game.

Re: Fortnite packet loss Pc
I can't see anything wrong with the ping plot. There is no packet loss and it is not unusual to have spikes of 151 ms. The link that has the longest spike is 52.95.37.183 - 150.222.112.132 belongs to Amazon. Which indicates an amazon congestion problem.
