Full drop outs when gaming

Robbi1 — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 13:47:57 GMT

When I start gaming I have full drop outs mid round, it reconnects, then drops out immediately two or three times. Restarting my router sometimes helps, but not always and its far too sporadic to know for sure.

My routing to certain game servers seems to have been messed up, I have higher ping to servers I play on all the time.

It never registers as an outage on skys broadband checker

I'm not on wifi, im straight ethernet to router using a sky max router

Any ideas?

@Robbi1 May be something to do with the sky Max hub using the MAP-T, are you also doing anything with VPN on the gaming rig!

Nothing with VPN on the gaming rig, or on any device tbh.

I'll look into MAP-T, thanks

@Robbi1 You don't per chance have the older SR203 hub that you could put on, or have you always been sky Max?

I've ran a test through NATO and it seems there is a fault on the sasa feeding my house, so its definitely going to have to go to Openreach
