Hello, this is my first post here, though I have been a follower of this site for many years.
I originally posted this over on BT's community forum, but didn't get many responses, so figured I would post it here.
We have had BT's 900Mb/s FTTP package since May 2023 and aside from a brief stint back in early March where the BT Smart Hub 2 locked the upload speed to 50Mb/s, it's been smooth sailing and I've never noticed any issues downloading files, streaming, playing games etc...
My setup consists of a BT Smart Hub 2 and a TP-Link Archer AX11000 acting as a Wi-Fi 6 access point, with the BT Smart Hub 2's built-in Wi-Fi disabled.
This is more of a sanity check than anything, but I've noticed when running a speedtest via nperf.com, regardless of whether using Wi-Fi or wired, I get a small amount of packet loss.
Here's the results when connected via Wi-Fi to the TP-Link AX11000
Here's the results when connected via Ethernet to the TP-Link AX11000
And here's the results when connected via Ethernet directly to the BT Smart Hub 2
Depending on the method used, there is between 0.44% and 1.80% packet loss.
If I run a test on https://speed.cloudflare.com/ it doesn't report any packet loss, so I'm inclined to believe this is either a fluke on nperf.com or normal for this type of speed test?
I'd be curious if anyone else has using a full FTTP connection the same packet loss on nperf.com or if this could indicate a problem with the line or install.
