Re: Warning Speedtester and RPGs blocked!!

Thanks for your thoughts on rerouting. I have been closely watching the connection speeds on Monday from 8AM. Flyff played fine and I was pleased to be getting a 4Mb connection.

When I returned from picking up the kids from school at around 4:14PM Flyff had started to lag so bad it became unplayable. The "ThinkBroadband" Speed tester (on port 8095) showed a connection speed of just 84k! rerunning the test several showed top speed of 100k. Rerunning it again on port 80 showed a speed of 4Mb.

At this point I could still log into the game, it was just too laggy to play. Later the connection failed and I was no longer able to get back into the game. The speed tester stopped working on port 8095 at the same time. This went on till about 1:05 am well past peak time, and the kids bedtimes.

To me this looks like port 8095 is being throttled late afternoon and choked to death around tea time. Flyff must be on the same group of ports VM had take a dislike to.

So far I have not been able to find away to change the port the game works on. Their website states that ISPS blocking their site is a known issue but has no advice to resolving this.

Thats me out of ideas.All suggestions welcome
