Anyone else on 4G LTE seeing fairly high packet loss recently?

For the past week or two I've been noticing quite a bit of packet loss when I run a ping test against 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) or Yahoo. Each time I run the ping test for 250-500 pings and the packet loss is consistently around 3-5% which is high. Verizon just upgraded the tower in my area to 4G LTE around 3-4 weeks ago and so far my speeds have been pretty great (20-35 Mbps) and my signal is strong without fluctuation (-67 dBi, SINR 20-30) so it's just the packet loss that I'm dealing with.
The first week of being on the 4G LTE I ran a few quick ping tests against Google while setting up my 4G antenna and didn't notice any packet loss but maybe I just didn't run the tests long enough. I've tried pinging a few other servers like 4.2.2.2 (Verizon DNS) and 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS) and I'm seeing like maybe one dropped packet in 500 pings which is only a .2% packet loss which is a huge difference from results I get pinging Google and Yahoo.
Anyone else noticing packet loss on your 4G LTE connection? I've already opened a ticket with Verizon but I don't know if they'll do anything about it since they like to just tag my location as a marginal coverage area and not look into issues when I report them.

I have as well. I am in Jacksonville, FL and notice when I put my phone into hotspot mode that any machine attached to it will suffer between 6-10% packet loss. It happens in spurts- at first when I connect it is perfect. 60ms pings to www.google.com and barely 1-2 lost packets in the first 5-10 minutes. Then all of a suddenly the whole thing just goes to pot. At first it starts losing a few packets... then it starts losing a BUNCH of packets. Then it gets so bad I start going from the "Request timed out" message to it being "Reply from 192.168.1.1: Destination net unreachable.". This continues for several minutes and then it returns to semi-normality. So a few minutes working, a few minutes not. It's pretty unbearable.
The really frustrating part is seeing AT&T users right next to me with almost 0% packet loss ;_; In the end, I usually have to connect to their phone to do any browsing, since mine simply doesn't allow me to do even the simplest of internet navigation when it gets like that.

High Packet Loss, High Ping and Slow Connection Ov...

Hi There,
I have been a customer with the BT unlimited broadband package for a little under two years and up until recently have had no real issues with the service. This was until around 3/4 weeks ago I noticed that the internet was very slow and certain online games or applications like Netflix would lose all of its quality or stop completely. At first I thought nothing of it and simply reset my BT Home hub router, and sure enough everything was back to normal. However after around 2-3 hours of moderate use (gaming online or watching Netflix) the problem surfaced again.
Now I am lucky if I can get the entire way through a 40 minute TV episode before the quality drops and/or the service requires buffering. I have already contacted BT via the helpline and the service lady ran through the obligatory steps (turn off, wait 5 minutes, reset the home hub etc.) but she failed to understand that although rebooting the home hub does alleviate the problem initially, the symptoms of a slow connection, high packet loss and high ping always return within an hour.
Four the last couple of weeks I have been trying to investigate the problem myself and I have done the following things:
Tested the line using the master socket (no difference)
Opened the ports on my firewall within the home hub (no difference)
Directly wired in the computer instead of relying on the wifi (no difference)
Tested for interference from neighbours wifi using inSSIDider office (it wasn’t, operating on different channels)
Switched every device that requires internet off apart from the PC (no difference)
So with all that in mind I am fairly confident that it is nothing within my house that has caused a significant reduction in internet quality.
Now I have tried my best to display the problem I am having by recording the connection quality for the last 24 hours. The table below represents the condition and quality of the connection after leaving it a period of time without resetting:

Thank you for you quick reply, I have just moved my hub to the master socket again and re-run the test and I seem to be getting the same results.

I have also checked if the bell wire was attached and it is not. My socket is of the new type with the inclusion of an inductor on the faceplate. My ADSL filters and modem cable already have the middle connecting pins removed so I don’t think it is a wiring problem, at least in my apartment anyway. I have also searched for problems with the exchange and they are showing green for my area. (Liverpool Central)
I have just rang the quiet line and I do not appear to have any noise on the line. However, all I have is a cordless phone and I know that is not ideal for determining noise due to the radio frequency interfering with the phone speaker.
Again thank you for you time on this issue.

Richard

Where are you experiencing packet loss? I see ICMP de-priortization at 1 hop and 100% dropping of ICMP at 3 of the 4 last hops but otherwise no packet loss. What sort of issues are you having? It's packet loss at the destination that is the issue, not in between. It's not uncommon for hops between source and destination to drop some or all ICMP packets as they're more concerned with legitimate data.

High Packet Loss on Media Gateway and Mediation Server leg

Hello,
We have recently begun to receive SCOM alerts showing a high percentage of poor voice quality on calls that are being sent to voicemail. QoE Reports show an extremely high packet loss on the Media Gateway and Mediation Server leg of the call.
The SCOM alerts are similar to this:
Alert: Media quality alert for gateway and Mediation Server leg
Source: Microsoft.LS.2010.QoE.Metric.AudioQuality.GatewayMS
Path: MonServer01;10.1.1.1 - FESERVER01;10.1.1.1 - FESERVER01 Last modified by: System Last modified time: 9/13/2013 9:16:17 AM Alert description:
Following are the details for this media quality alert:
Media quality alert for: Gateway and Mediation Server leg "10.1.1.1 - FESERVER01"
Total calls = 51
Poor quality calls = 12
Poor quality call percentage (%) = 23.53
Following are the average values for call classification metrics:
Average network degradation = 0.08
Average jitter (ms) = 1.86
Average packet loss (%) = 3.71
Average round trip time (ms) = 0.00
Average concealed metric (%) = 16.33
Average stretched metric (%) = 0.57
Average compressed metric (%) = 0.92
These alerts did not seem to be popping up until we enabled Media Bypass and CAC. The call setup looks like this:
MEDIANT 3000 -> MEDIATION SERVER -> UM SERVER
We have had our networking team take a look at all legs of the network between subnets and they do not find any dropped packets.
Any ideas what might be causing this to happen ONLY on calls that are transferred to voicemail?
Thanks.

Please try to disable Media Bypass and CAC to check if still have the issue.
Try to enable Media Bypass and CAC one at a time to check which cause the packet loss.
Tyr to use Lync Logging Tool to collect trace file on Lync Mediation Server.

Hi Lisa,
I Turned off CAC and left Media Bypass on. I received 87% packet loss, although when listening to the voicemail, I heard no drops at all. Here are the stats:
Audio Stream (Caller -> Callee)
    Codec: PCMA Sample rate: 8000
    Packet utilization: 947
    Avg. packet loss rate: 26.40 % Max. packet loss rate: 87.11 %

    Avg. compressed samples ratio: 0.00 %
    Avg. network MOS: 1.91 Min. network MOS: 1.50
    Avg. network MOS degradation: 1.81 Max. network MOS degradation: 2.23
    NMOS degradation (jitter): 0.00 % NMOS degradation (packet loss): 99.00 %

    Avg. jitter: 0 ms Max. jitter: 0 ms
    Avg. round trip: 0 ms Max. round trip: 0 ms
Then I turned on CAC and turned off Media Bypass. Left a message. 0% Packet Loss. Voicemail sounded perfect once again. Here are the stats:
Audio Stream (Callee -> Caller)
    Codec: PCMA Sample rate: 8000
    Audio FEC: False Bandwidth estimates: 0 Kbps
    Packet utilization: 1066
    Avg. packet loss rate: 0.00 % Max. packet loss rate: 0.00 %
    Avg. jitter: 0 ms Max. jitter: 0 ms
    Avg. round trip: 0 ms Max. round trip: 0 ms
    Audio Stream (Caller -> Callee)
    Codec: PCMA Sample rate: 8000
    Packet utilization: 1866
    Avg. packet loss rate: 0.00 % Max. packet loss rate: 0.00 %
    Avg. jitter: 2 ms Max. jitter: 9 ms
    Burst duration: 0 ms Burst gap duration: 36000 ms
    Burst density: 0.00 % Burst gap density: 0.00 %
    Avg. concealed samples ratio: 0.00 % Avg. stretched samples ratio: 1.00 %
    Avg. compressed samples ratio: 4.00 %
    Avg. network MOS: 3.58 Min. network MOS: 3.54
    Avg. network MOS degradation: 0.15 Max. network MOS degradation: 0.18
    NMOS degradation (jitter): 0.00 % NMOS degradation (packet loss): 0.00 %
The kicker is, with media bybass enabled, the call going to Voicemail (Exchange UM) is not a media bypass call. The Lync Mediation server is handling the call in both instances (Media Bypass ON or OFF).
I'm thinking it's a problem with the reporting feature since no visible/physical packet loss can be seen or heard. Our issue also lies with the fact that it's throwing of our call quality stats for the day because of the amount of "poor calls" going
to voicemail.
I would really love to figure this out. Any thoughts?

Is anyone else getting tired of seeing red circles with squares in them?

my music isn't playing, it's only coming up with red circles with squares in it, and most of it is purchased music not just downloaded...is there anyway to fix this??

I talked to an apple care specialist and they helped me fix this. Go to itunes, and uncheck sync music and then apply. Then after the songs been deleted from your device, check sync music and apply and all your music will be downloaded again!!! Hope this helps!!!

Is anyone else having problems with scrolling and games since the recent iOS7.1 update?

The scrolling on my iphone 5s has gone haywire since the recent update to iOS7.1.
Its worse in Twitter and FB. When trying to scroll down the page its sending you up the page or its just flashing and not scrolling at all.
When playing games it seems to be taking ages for certain games to catch up and the touch screen doesn't seem to work.

Did you do a reset?
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

Anyone else getting these error messages in the admin?

The admin seems sporatic at best when loading pages, and i get this message everry once in awhile like say every 6th click or new page load http://screencast.com/t/LUczDRD4Vp
I also get the stock "works on our side" from tech support.
So, sure it works, most of the time, but who goes to admin to view one page then leave, In regular use, i am getting a few of these errors every session.
Within those normal bc blue text messages http://screencast.com/t/LUczDRD4Vp sometimes I get this dandy http://screencast.com/t/WPrzEYwSUSyj
Just thought i would post there here, if anything to get some sympathy from other partners pleading their case and only getting the useless response, "works on our side"

Hey Rich,
Reading your posts here on the forums it really is becoming clear you have issues with your connectiong ot BC over anything else. As people and support have pointed out, no one seems to be having the level of issues you are with BC at the moment so you need to look at what the causes could be. Have you run trace routes, pinged the BC servers, see what comes back, see if any packet loss is there, checked your net connection, tried different browsers, different machine..
I would go through all that if you have not done so already to indentify the problem.
All working for me in the sense I am not seeing the issues your getting.

SG200 high "Packets With Errors"

Hi, I have a SG200-18 switch that's been in production for about 6 months. About a month ago we had a severe ice storm and everything lost power including the switch. Afterwards I started to see very high "Packets With Errors" in the interface statistics in the web gui. When looking at the Ethernet statistics, the errors are mainly "Internal MAC Receive Error" with only a few "Frame Check Sum" errors.
Before the power outtage I was seeing about 0.035% packets with errors on the heaviest loaded interface. After the power outtage I saw 1.60% packets with errors on the same interface. Other busy interfaces saw similar raise in packets with errors. Again these errors were mainly "Internal MAC Receive Error" with only a few "Frame Check Sum" errors.
I contacted Cisco and was told that the firmware could be corrupted and that I should update to the latest firmware version: 1.3.5.58 (I was running 1.3.0.62). I updated to the latest firmware (including updating the boot code). Verified that the md5 check sums listed on the web gui match that of the firmware files that I loaded onto the switch.
It's been a couple days since upgrading the switch firmware and I've noticed that the packets with errors has gone down; now around 0.3% on busiest interface. Should I be concerned by this number of packets with errors? What does "Internal MAC Receive Error" even mean?
Thank you.

Tom,
I've seen a similar issue on SG300 switches.
While I haven't completely eliminatated cabling issues (I can only continuity check the cables which are ducted and perviously terminiated and the continutity check is ok) I have had an increase in "Internal MAC Receive Error" counts following upgrades to 1.3.5.58 and 1.3.7.18 firmware versions.
In my case I have four switches connected in a star topology around a central switch and interconnected via LAG groups- three swtiches are showing error counts on some ports (a mix of LAG and single ports) and one has remained error free.
At least one LAG group is showing "Internal MAC Receive Errors" at one end of the LAG but not the other- this isn't the behaviour I'd expect from a cable fault.
The "Internal MAC Receive Error" counts appear to increase disproportionally when the port or LAG is under load (eg speed testing LAN connections between Ruckus AP and Zonedirector).
Is this type of behaviour consistent with what you have seen?
In your last posted you said:-
"But I've also found upgrading to 1.3.5.58 there is a lot of tail error in some situations and a factory reset and manual configuration clears those errors entirely"
Are you able to definie those situations any more? Is factory defaulting the switch and restoring a backup a workable sloution or should it be a completely manual restore (ie re-creating the configuration)?
I can of course try a factory default and manual configurationre- but it will take some time and planning to implement!
Kind Regards,
Andy.

Is anyone else have data overages with their new phone, even with the LTE being shut off

I have upgraded to the iphone 5s about 3-4 months ago, and my data usuage has gone up and over within 2 weeks of the billing cycle. with my old iphone it never went over the 4g limit, and that was with nike + and pandora running apps loaded [im a runner and have done this with 3 half marathons in one month plus additional miles]. i am now afraid to even use pandora for an hour on my phone. I have turned off as many things as possible to lighten up the data usage, ie LTE is off, and so is a lot of location servces and background app refresh. i still cant figure out why im reaching my max data usuage so quickly when i am using it 80% less than i use to.
is anyone else having similar issues and has anyone found a solution to this?
i have also done a factory reset on my iphone to see if it helps at all - since, that is apples answer to everything.
Message was edited by: swongbomb

I've seen this, as well, on an iPhone 4s. Eventually the high-data-usage went away, seemingly on it's own (and after calling AT&T a couple of times to get the overage removed from my bill).
Having said that, one thing to check is to turn "Documents & Data" off... Settings>iCloud>Documents & Data. I'm thinking this can push and pull a lot of data to/from iCloud very quickly. Photos under iCloud might do the same...
Hope this helps...

Has anyone else had a problem with data? after updating my phone to the new update, i have all this data, and keep getting notifications that my data is getting high. i never had this problem before.

fair enough. No need for any unnecessary posts either. You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

Since loading IOS 7.0.4, the images and letters/words on my ipad Mini are fuzzy and less clear. It appears the revised IOS has created this degradation to clarity and sharpness. Anyone else seeing this problem?

My ipad mini display, including letters/words, was crystal clear until the last software upgrade. Now everything is fuzzy and less clear. I'm reading many complaints about this on the Internet forums. Since I read a lot of books on my ipad , this is particularly irritating. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Hi Fitz,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I found adjusting the size, boldness and contrast settings on the iPad mini were very helpful.
Here is a link to the information in the iPad User Guide on page 112:
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Large, bold, and high-contrast text
Display larger text in apps such as Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Type, where you can turn on Larger Dynamic Type and adjust the font size.
Display bolder text for items on iPad. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Bold Text.
Increase the contrast of text where possible. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Increase Contrast.
I hope this information helps ....

Anyone else having trouble opening CMYK PDFs from Photoshop CC with JPEG 'high' compression?

(Cross-post from the Photoshop forum, where I was asked to post in the Acrobat forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5553829 )
When I save a PDF file in Photoshop CC in CMYK color with JPEG compression (quality = high), it will save without any errors. However, when I open the file in Acrobat (11.0.3), I get an "Out of Memory" pop up error. I press Ok, and the document is just displayed as a blank white image.
I'm using Win7 64-bit, Photoshop CC 64-bit. Plenty of memory (24GB) and allocated RAM in preferences, and I've done some troubleshooting that leads me to believe the error is not due to system memory, but rather a specific bug in the software. I have Photoshop CS6 on the same machine, and if I open the PSD, save as PDF with the above settings, everything is fine when I open it using Acrobat. This seems to just be for Photoshop CC, not CS6.
Here is the troubleshooting I've done so far:
PDF format, RGB color, any other settings --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, no compression --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [medium] --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [high] --> Acrobat can NOT open the file because it encounters the "out of memory" error.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [maximum] --> Acrobat can open the file.
This is silly. I don't get it. Can anyone else confirm this problem for me?
Updated:
Like you said, there isn't enough information to rule out an issue with Photoshop CC, as the same action using Photoshop CS6 results in a usable file.
New information (while making files for uploading):
The error only occurs with CMYK files of larger dimensions. On a 500x500px image, Acrobat throws out "A drawing error has occured". a 2500x2500px image runs into the "Out of memory" error. In either case, Acrobat cannot successfully open the file generated by Photoshop CC, while it can if it was made using Photoshop CS6.

Another observation for what it is worth (not a solution again). I was able to open all 3 PDFs in Irfanview as graphics. The properties of the image were
The major changes for the others within the JPegs was the number of pixels (133X133) and the size (1.4inX1.4in). There is also a reduction in the number of colors.
Just for information, I opened the big JPeg in Acrobat (9.5.5) and it opened fine. However, it looks like the color space was changed as shown below:
Even if I change the input to use CMYK and not RGB, it looks like it gets converted to RGB. I haven't spent time to figure out the preflight analysis properly, but at least this may give you some info back.

Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge. You've done good things. Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use. A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."
