Hello,

Just discovering your program and loving it. Fabulous docs, too.

In the previous thread, you point to Haynsey's ISP as the cause for service interruption. The graph is fairly explicit in that respect. Over here in France, we've been having connection trouble for a few weeks, and trying hard to locate the exact source of latency/packet loss on the network, since our ISP hasn't been communicating much on the problem.

A couple of screenshots:





From another user, same thing:

It is believed that distributed QoS is being performed on DSL connections devoid of fixed IP addresses, and that high ports are being blocked. My main issue comes with SSH telnet sessions and SFTP, which do not seem to be prone to disconnections but are very unresponsive: i sometimes have to wait 20-30 seconds before characters typed at the keyboard are sent and come back. Others report trouble with VPN sessions, and many others still with online game lags and deconnections. Other than for regular web browsing and mail access, the result is, um, consistently erratic.

Thanks for taking a look.
Eric
