Fantastic work CA3LE ! 👍 Yes, that sounds COMPLETELY plausible (even after several beers this evening) I'd not checked out my IP changes, though guess I could have done via my mac's log file an/or the routers log. There's so much going on I've hardly known where to begin TBH. My connection seems to regularly struggle for a few minutes at a time. Most noticeably whilst streaming TV. It starts playing up, I do a speed test, it tests out okay and streaming restarts, a few minutes later it's down, or struggling again... the graphs illustrate that perfectly. I had one of their helpline techs on the phone line the other night, he was surprised that he was seeing my router appear and disappear from his view every couple of minutes whilst running tests & apparently setting up for longer term tests. I was considering scripting something to run locally but decided to try a web search first and decided on trying testmy.net as it seemed (now confirmed, many thanks for your efforts & support) a great option. This gives me some great ammo to go back to them with. I suspect there may be weather-related problems going on here as we've had our coldest weather for some considerable time here (north east UK) and a LOT of rain in the last few weeks. I've been looking at upgrading from old 'copper line ADSL' to fibre (FTTP), which has recently arrived here (though I'm close to the town centre in a well populated area) but need to set aside some time to research & evaluate it against 5G and fibre/5G hybrid systems before I splash the cash and/or get tied in for a minimum term 🤦

Hi CA3LE, thanks for your responses. No, I've just discovered the fantastic(ish) testmy.net I did try some shorter initial tests without signing up, which, ironically, worked great 🤣 I only set up one username AFAIK (I used only one of my email addys throughout, starting with EPS -if you can see that) although the setup sent me around in circles repeatedly, not liking my attempts at a PSWD... using Uc, Lc, a No. & a special character. I'm an IT teacher, formerly an IT technician, so like to think 😬 I'm reasonably competent in such things... But an ready & willing to b schooled if it's me that's fecked up rather than the site's database 👍

I'm getting the error: "Where did that go? Maybe it was never here! Your search returned zero results. You searched for..." I searched and found this old thread. I tried the suggestion of using this URL suffixed with my username, and get the same error message. https://testmy.net/quickstats/RealScotty Any suggestions welcome 🤗
