| Post subject: | Dropped packets? |
Is there any way to test if packets of data are being dropped between my ISP and me? Sometimes pages are taking ages to load, but if I hit the "reload page" button on my browser, the page loads straight away. Unfortunately that solution doesn't always work when I've put in searches etc. How can I test to see if data is being lost? |

 Annoyingly the packet loss test won't work. A firewall issue maybe? |

 Pretty happy with that TBH. That's from a 10Mb line in the Welsh Capital. |

From the pingtest FAQ 6.Why was I unable to run the packet loss test? The packet loss test requires that a Java Runtime Environment be installed on your computer. Also your firewall must allow the test to communicate to the Pingtest.net servers (specifically outbound port 5060 for both TCP and UDP though that is being changed to 8080 before the end of the beta - some servers have been changed already). If our test is unable to communicate with Java or the packets are getting blocked by a firewall then the packet loss test will be skipped. |

That's interesting, and a little curious. 5060 is the default SIP port, which is treated differently by some routers. If you have one with a phone on (a lot of BT routers), then 5060 is probably reserved. |

I found it wouldn't run on my system until I'd installed both 32bit & 64bit version of Java |
