OK. Here are the loopstats from another computer for 7 days (in the
chart). I don't have any peerstats for it. It has the same server
list. One is preferred. All servers are active. Performance is no
better.

That's horrible, Ron! Much worse than David Lord reports. It makes
me want to ask a number of questions:
Hi David T,
NOW .... you understand.
I have 4 PC's connected to the LAN, plus my wife's work computer 3 days
/ week, and on rare occasions my son's computer. All are connected by
wifi. All do pretty mundane things: web browser, email, sometimes
downloading patches, sometimes doing online backup. My 4 are running
NTPD. 3 run windows most of the time and dual boot into linux. My 4th
machine runs linux all the time. When my wife is here, she does a
remote desktop type of thing into her work system. Two of my PC's are
running Vista, one is running Windows 7. Those three dual boot into
Ubuntu 11.04 and the always linux machine runs Ubuntu 11.04. Almost all
the discussions I've had on this mailing list are for my Windows 7 machine.
The path out of my house is:
PC Wifi --> Wifi router --> wired router --> cable modem --> ISP -- internet
- is this PC connected over wireless or wired?
Wifi G
- what else is going through the router? Someone else downloading
large files or using streaming audio or video?
See above. Normally, no huge data hogs.
- who else might be sharing your connection?
It's cable. Who knows? I also get cable TV and telephone through the
same wire.
- what type of service do you have? Presumably not dial-up! But what
speed?
Comcast Cable
Just tested it with speedtest.net
Ping to near city: 91 ms, Download: 29.63 Mbps, Upload: 5.3 Mbps
- having checked you speed, would you describe your connection as
"stable"?
See above for speed. Generally, it's very stable. However, for the
purposes we're discussing, I think it's latencies and delays that are
the problem.
As I mentioned in my reply to David L, I'm not concerned over trying to
get stellar performance from internet servers. I just want to get a
good GPS server system running and use the internet servers as a backup.
Sincerely,
Ron
The quiet periods (e.g early Monday morning, Tuesday lunchtime) are
much nearer to what I would hope for, which makes me wonder whether
something is interfering with the connection outside those times.
Cheers,
David

I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and
such. I don't always see new messages very quickly. If you need a
reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
