Intermittent request timeouts, performance lag with PS4, Webex, Zoom, Streaming, etc..

Hey,

 

For the last several months we've had frustrating issues with our service.  regular surfing is almost unnoticeable since we'll just refresh the page.  However with gaming, where either we lag (temp or lag right out) and with Party Chats where people can no longer hear us (have to leave and rejoin).  Zoom/Webex meetings freeze or audio drops out.  Netflix / Prime, requires reloading.

 

I have the Hitron Coda 4582-U modem set up in bridge mode to my own Router.  I used to have an old Linksys WRT 1900 AC when the problems first became noticeable, and have recently replaced it out of concern that it might be the cause with the Netgear AX6000 (newest mesh system) - but issues still persist.

 

Rogers won't send anyone to my home to test due to Covid, and regular calls to them result in them saying there are no issues they can see.  I've read through a few other threads on these forums, and don't want to muddy them or hijack them so I'm starting a new one here.

I'll paste below a few things I've noticed that have been asked for in the other threads, any insights would be appreciated.  if requested I can run any other tests as well.

I've been having the same issues as well for months. It's very frustrating. I will run the same ping tests to see if I get similar results. Will update when I can.

Re: Intermittent request timeouts, performance lag with PS4, Webex, Zoom, Streaming, etc..

Hello @Betard & @Ochiro

 

Welcome to the Rogers Community Forum!

 

We appreciate you posting your concern in the community. I know how frustrating it can be trying to game online or video chat when there are latency issues. 

 

We would like to thoroughly investigate this matter for you. Latency can be difficult to detect but we are well equipped to assist you. Please send a private message to @CommunityHelps so we can get started.

I plan to stick around

No insights or help from rogers other than being told they can't find an issue.  They can't send someone to the house due to Covid.

Can anyone else advise any tests or troubleshooting I can do on my end?  On Sunday it was the worse it had ever been, I even plugged one of our playstations directly into the Hitron Modem (in bridge mode) to try and rule out that my own equipment was possibly the issue.

 

In my basement it appears that the coax come into the house, and a splitter splits the coax 1) to my Hitron and the other line goes to a powered splitter that has lines going to my Rogers Home Phone (off the VOIP labeled connector), and others going to my cable boxes (3).

Short of changing providers, I don't know what else to do.  I pay hundreds of dollars a month, and would more than accept if the issue was on my end.  But I feel I've done everything I can to isolate the issue.

Any recommendations to further help isolate or even steps to confidently exclude pieces (ex: by going directly to the modem, and seeing the same issue, then I assume it can't be "my" hardware).

Re: Intermittent request timeouts, performance lag with PS4, Webex, Zoom, Streaming, etc..

Hello @Betard!

 

I would like to run some additional tests for you and troubleshoot this issue as best I can.

 

From the tests you've provided thus far, I have a good idea of what might be going on here but I would like to run my tests first before I make a solid judgement.

 

Please PM us @CommunityHelps so I can further assist. If you're not familiar with our PMing process, you can find instructions here.

 

Regards,

RogersCorey

Did you get this solved? I have the same issue and am keen to resolve it. 

 

I keep having my Teams calls freeze and my traceroute shows a time out at the same IP address as you had.

"Solved" yes... but no one would acknowledge the issue... I know a rogers truck was doing work at the box for a couple days atleast in a week, and when they were done the problem ceased and has been fine ever since. I got an email saying my case was closed and they resolved the issue... but when I asked what the issue was, I was told they couldnt find one...

So while I am happy I no longer have the issues, I hate "magic" issues that fix themselves... I suspect the crew doing the work replaced something, tightened something, or whatever... but an ongoing issue that went on for months didn't "self-heal".

I have similar issue in 2023 and Rogers always said there didn’t did anything . I am still having this issue and I stopped reached Rogers for spending hours in explaining them the same problem again and again

Re: Intermittent request timeouts, performance lag with PS4, Webex, Zoom, Streaming, etc..

Hey @prjreddy !

 

Thanks for joining in the conversation and letting us know about your latency issue! I realize how disruptive this can be when you are trying to get something important done.

 

I see that we've replied to your Private Message...feel free to continue chatting with us there so we can investigate this matter further and try to get to the bottom of it! 🙂

 

Thank you!

I've been here awhile

Unfortunately I have the same problem for last few months. It has never real gone away

 

Last week a tech came in, changed the filter, and that didnt make any difference. Instead my downstream power levels are worst, and its impossible to play on XBOX and my pings can vary drastically from 30ms to 400ms all randomly.

I've been around

I would also like to get some assistance on this matter. Ever since I have started WFH for the past couple years this is a constant issue I have been dealing with. I have had multiple techs come to my house. Replaced my modem, my pods. I have been told they have changed some connections at the main box everything has been told to me but I still have this constant issue. Even upgraded my internet package thinking that was the problem for more speed but that didnt work either. Now im stuck on another year contract and paying more money. Looking like some guidance has been provided in this chat. Wondering if any one can help. 

My specific issue is anytime i am doing chats on webex. It always seems to glitch out freeze takes a few moments to find it self and start working again. Thinking it was my laptop from work I even had this replaced. Since I WFH i have gone to other peoples home to use their WIFI internet and no issues over their network. Please help if you can.

Re: Intermittent request timeouts, performance lag with PS4, Webex, Zoom, Streaming, etc..

@AnishMaha29  Looks like Rogers is making some changes to their network again.

 

A few weeks ago, something was happening where, every few minutes, Rogers suddenly started dumping upwards of 40 seconds of network traffic at a time.  MASSIVE packet loss.  I was also seeing significant intermittent latency spikes as well.  The Internet service for everyone in the neighbourhood was absolutely unusable and I have never seen so many techs getting dispatched to people's homes.

 

The network and maintenance teams fixed this, and when things settled down, i could run an hours-long ping test to 8.8.8.8 with no packet loss and a min/average/max RTT of 9/17/32 ms.

 

However, the Internet is now a bit wonky again,  Not as bad as before but still wonky.  Bad enough to get intermittent Ignite TV drop-outs.  I just did another quick ping test with the following results:

 

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---

1098 packets transmitted, 1061 packets received, 3.4% packet loss

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 12.428/55.244/1997.237/124.440 ms

 

That average RTT of 55 ms is not great, and latency spikes of 2000 ms (two seconds!) is unacceptable.

 

My modem's signal levels are perfect and my error stats are absolutely clean, so this is definitely an upstream issue.  It's almost certainly within Rogers' network, and I will have to do more testing to pinpoint precisely where the problem is.

I'm here a lot

Having similar issues here at my condo. My wife, who does WFH using Zoom, has been forced to use data from another provider via hotspot.  The problem is also happening in the townhouses around my condo, with lots of angry posts on the Facebook groups. Spent 4 hours on 3 separate chats, one of which was cut off by precisely the issue I was describing. In the end the guy claimed he flashed new firmware on the XB7, which somehow I doubt, after he sabotaged any trust with two specific comments: first, when I asked what version number he flashed, he said "IPV6", and second after I told him the Current Time on the modem administration page was an hour behind(ie no Spring Forward), he replied, "The modem does not show the time". Very frustrating, he was clearly just trying to get me off the chat.
The problem is intermittent so fixes will be apparent over days, not immediately. My next plan is to set up a smokeping (google is your friend!) on raspberry pi to gather more data and escalate further, as the frontline chat techs cannot or will not help.

Greetings @fiberhunger!

 

If you would kindly run a ping test and a tracert when the issue is next occuring and then post the results here, we'll be better able to assist.

 

Regards,

RogersCorey
