Latency issue speeds and packet loss at prime times
 

Ok for the last 2 weeks, at prime time ie monday wed fri sat 6pm etc and currently now, my ping times increase by nearly triple my speed's die, and i gain packet loss.

However it's not local cogestion, it's a network issues at datacentre's?

Speedtest's are alot lower also

What's going on and is no one else getting this? If this is a congestion issue across the network, and something that will get worse when everyone get's upgraded, i would rather change to 20mb adsl.

UK server: looks like the server itself is the problem.

German server: looks like VM's continental interconnect is overloaded.

Re: Latency issue speeds and packet loss at prime times
 

It's not just that uk server, it's every uk server just some are worse then others. It's as if Virgin have royally screwed gaming packets priority.

Speedtest to namesco normally throws out a 90mb speedtest

Notice ping..

Re: Latency issue speeds and packet loss at prime times
 

Speedtest.net's ping result is as good as useless, it's extremely variable and inaccurate.

As for the traceroutes, you're seeing a latency spike two hops off VM's network past tele-ic-1-as0-0. Funny enough, I saw a similar problem a few days ago - Igni said he thought it was return path congestion and VM running interconnects at near max capacity.

Re: Latency issue speeds and packet loss at prime times
 

well what does it mean in the logrun? there networks running over capacity and may not improve? it's makin gaming impossible pretty much
