In the past month have you experienced a high increase of Packet loss, where you weren't previously?

If youvd had no packet loss since gf took over, please state it in a reply! :)
I used to have a constant 0 packet loss before GF changed the providers.

Ive probably not made the options too clear, but the top 2 options are since GF took over!

Good idea, identify the scale of the problem.

Where's the "I have less now than before" option?

(no I'm not being "snarky" as Jy would say, I seriously have less now, as do many other people I've talked to)

I would have picked the "Less now" option as well.

Bring up your connection window (N key for me, possibly shift-N for newer installations). There are 5 lines:

Upload (ammount of data your computer is sending to server)

Download (ammount of data your computer is receiving from server)

Ping (time it takes for 1 data packet to be sent to the server and acknowledgement to return)

Packet Loss (% of data packets lost)

and

Server State (current connection status, Connected is good, anything else is bad)

With Jolt I had packet loss, a lot, from time to time it made my client crash.

This problem have dissapeared. Only a few PW for a few mins some days, and nothing else.
