Baaaaad Ping...
 

... in my house (or area).


Been bad since the weather last night (50mph winds).

Someone please post the link to the speed test you normally use, so I can show you.


Sorry for brief post, but I wrote out a nicely detailed one, then got a "cannot find server" error, and lost it all. Now im miffed :dozey:

1st 128K took 1688 ms = 77649 Bytes/sec = approx 646 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1907 ms = 68732 Bytes/sec = approx 572 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 2501 ms = 52408 Bytes/sec = approx 436 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 2235 ms = 58645 Bytes/sec = approx 488 kbits/sec

512k connection

Re: Baaaaad Ping...
 

Thats just your download speed via the proxy servers. Its nothing to do with ping times !

Is you connection that is slow or do you have high pings ?

Re: Baaaaad Ping...
 

Pings are awful.

When I refresh BF1942 servers using All Seeing Eye, they should come up about 20-30 (about 100ms is unplayable for the servers).

Currently, the lowest is 400ms, and the highest is 2000ms

Also VERY slow net browsing

Hi, and welcome :wavey: to NtHellworld.....

Thats really bad for 600 - do you have any file sharing apps running ? Also, have you scanned for ad-ware / ran a virus check lately ?

Re: Baaaaad Ping...
 

No **** sherlock! :dozey:

Its been bad all day. Ever since the bad weather last night, but it may not be the cause. I tried to unplug my modem, wait and hour, then plug it back in (does that EVER work?!).

Anyone got a suggestion.

(btw - if anyone is following my thread in the Alternatives forum, my mum is phoning BT tomorrow, to get the line, then, with any luck, I can get 1mb, or 512k if not)

Re: Baaaaad Ping...
 

Ok, it seems to be ok.

I'll post here if it goes wonky again tomorrow.

Thanks for the help!

Amazingly, yes. When NTL put a suggestion to reboot the modem on the TS line, calls dropped by about 20%.
