Technical Help / Anybody out there familiar with "Pingplotter" and TCP/IP
« on: Wednesday 26 June 19 19:26 BST (UK)  »
I have terible problem with my broadband and have invested in new router and a three-node mesh system but still my broadband connection keeps dropping. Sometimes it reconnects after a minute or two but other times a modem/router reboot is required.

BT ADSL Internet to a cabinet over two miles distant. I don't expect >2mbps but the constant interruptions are frustrating.

Sometimes the latency is > 500msec and other times it's its 20msec.

I attach a "pingplotter" output. You can observe when I load Netflix.com.

Any advice will be leapt upon like water for a man dying of thirst!

Thanks for these suggestions but...

On the GRO site, the dates only go up to 1918!

The Lighter Side / Re: How large is the largest tree on Ancestry?

One of my DNA matches has a tree that includes Joseph of Aramathea.

My wife says I'm related to a slowworm and a three-toed sloth. I could argue with her but frankly, I don't have the energy.

A lad down the road from me used to eat small lumps of coal. I think it is not that uncommon?

Thank you all. My interest in David stops once I have identified his birthplace. He is the father of a the wife of a blood relative and I don't venture up those branches.

You are such a wonderful bunch of people.

Hwyl fawr.
