I'm too far away from my router and the signal quality is shit so I'm losing packets to my Racknerd VPS. I demand a refund!
All this thread has taught me that having Chinese clientele may be a headache especially when they use deepseek to curate veiled threats of performance reviews to get their way towards a refund.
Possibly should be a mental note for providers going forward.
It's worth noting that this is likely not an actual indication of a network problem with Arelion. Arelion's routers de-prioritize ICMP, which frequently leads to packet loss showing up in MTRs.
Traceroute and ping cannot reliably measure packet loss to intermediate hops.These routers usually have small and heavily loaded CPUs even though they may route terabits of traffic in hardware, and responding to these packets is a very low priority. Only the ping to the final location is a reliable measurement. If some of the intermediate networks provide looking glasses you could try pinging those too.
