Slightly on topic, I have been experiencing packet loss in a game that I'd not had for years. Seemingly at the same time my powerline adapters have been disconnecting.

It's extremely hard (I've found it) to identify if packet loss is a problem in your house, or with the service you're using. Also, if you don't have a baseline for how your network normally operates, everything looks like a nail when you go digging.

I was having packet loss problems every 5 seconds in a particular game where it would spike up to around 15% then recover. I ran a ping plot to the router at 0.1x per second and had absolutely no packet loss. So is it me or is it the game server.
