You should be able to run a very high utilization average values of say 90% with no change in the latency.

I would disable it in your PC nic settings and see if it runs any different. This causes all kinds of strange problems for people. What I notice from your post is you are using IPv6.
This tends to cause packet loss and not delays. Now you could be taking errors and as load increases you get more errors. Use its bandwidth limit and set it to say 60% of your internet bandwidth.

A better test would be to use something like steam to download a game. Speedtest will attempt to push your connection to 100% so it is not really a valid test. You would only see this if you were running your connection at 100%. When you have enough bandwidth it will be sent immediately and not buffered. Data is only delayed if it is held in a buffer. You are correct the ping times will not increase because of only a small load. I will assume you have gigabit internet if not then it changes the answer somewhat. Note the speed you pay your ISP for is the only thing that matters. I could limit the bandwidth of my network to be under the limit (ie 450 mbps/20 mbps), but the spikes start occurring as early as 30 MB/s (240 mbps). What I'd like to know ping spikes I'm seeing is normal or not?Īt 480 mbps, I'm nowhere near the theoretical limit of any of the hardware on my local network, most of which is rated at or above 1Gbps. Would you say this behavior is "normal" or would you say this is an issue? I DO understand that the ping inevitably will go up when under load, just like any other computing component. The ping starts off normal, but once there is load introduced, it goes way up over 500, sometimes displaying the error "Request Timed Out." To simulate a load, I ran a command prompt "ping -t and ran an internet speed test beside it. My speeds are good, but once my internet is loaded, it begins to lag or even drop completely. You might just be surprised how it helps your network.So basically, I have my PC directly connected to my modem - bypassing the router altogether. If so, then get a modern router that's around 150 bucks, and configure it properly. I always recommend to ask the ISP if the modem can be set up in bridge mode and if it is allowed to use your own router behind their modem. Using a router with more advanced wifi capabilities and proper antennas can also improve the performance, spread the pressure of traffic through quality of service, dedicate a guest network, or have multiple things like the older 2.4ghz for 5ghz. Especially in a household with multiple people, all having multiple devices. And the router sometimes is even more powerful in hardware to deal with todays wide variety of traffic. Adding your own router to your network (modem in bridge mode for example) allows you to spread the workload of the modem, to modem and router. It does the initial handling of traffic, and then you send it off to the router that's behind it.Ī router simplified is a device that can forward traffic to the right device. It becomes more of a 'dumb device' as I like to call it. Sometimes a modem can be put in bridge mode. Most modems have a built-in way to switch between ports, to get 'this' going 'there' and 'that' going 'over there'. You will need one for dial-up, isdn, dsl, cable, fibre, etc. Simplified, the modem is a listening device that can handle incoming packets (modulator-demodulator traffic).
