Re: High pings to London server.
Try another traceroute 
Seems a bit 'sudden' that increase to be congestion on the ntl side.
It's also a bit too stable.

I see a router in there before the ntl network so isn't it possible that one of your family is uploading or downloading?

My son was away an dwhen that was taken my daughter was asleep in bed we can all play CS at once when the network is at its best and have next to no lag pinging on that server less than 30ms. We have already done this and those we was playing against thaought NTl was great to manage the three of us playing but its been fast downhill and now struggles to ping less than 100 with one playing.
Computer is virus and spyware free just this happens and a little later it can be good again for an hour then back to high pings.

Still don't think it's congestion think it's something else.

Is a tad low and stable for congestion on the ntl side, don't ya think?
Maybe someone who can actually take a look at your connection properly rather than making guesstimates can assist.

After 5pm it gets stupid and you can have high pings one hour and good ping the next but no two hours are ever the same.

Re: High pings to London server.
Don't blame ntl blame your router. I'm not saying that exactly is the problem but I've gone through four of their ****ty routers and still my latest WRT54GS sometimes fouls up causing me to have to spend hours of flashing, rebooting etc. until it suddenly, miraculously works properly again.
When you start lagging pull out your router, and try straight through to your modem. At least you will be able to eliminate it then from the equation if it proves not to be the problem.

Re: High pings to London server.
im having the same trouble from stoke-on-trent playing a game hosted in france im also getting very high pings i will post some trace routes soon if they help
---------- Post added at 17:36 ---------- Previous post was at 17:05 ----------
after a long talk to ntl tech support i got told at the end to look at this website http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...ips/games.html
and that ntl could not do anything about it because they only promise that you can access websites, emails and general internet use, they do not support online gameing.
also as i promised in my last post here is a screenshot taken from ping plotter of my ping to the server i play on for 10 mins while on the phone to ntl
[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

I presume you are still using Linksys firmware?

If NTL isnt for gaming then why do they charge people an extra £5 to have the consoles attached to the network to play online games.
In fact I have been with NT for 6 years and its only since they went to 10mb that I have had unsteady connection I know my area is hit hard with 10mb users but I am still on 2mb.

Oh I've used them all. Various Linksys versions, DDWRT, HyperWRT.
Currently my WRT54GS is using an older version of the linksys firm, and my now redundant wireless B linksys is too (though custom firms weren't available for that).
I don't know about the newer routers since Cisco bought up Linksys but the older ones, from at least what I've had reliability can't have much said for them; I expect to be able to pump jigabytes through them and still have them working 6 months down the line being the consumer arm of the mighty Cisco Systems.
Its not like I even tax it with any advanced routing, most of the time its just used as a transport for the wireless. It does seem like there may some heat issues originating from the radio, I tried turning that all the way down with DDWRT but still was dodgy. Hard wiring it was fine. This how all my (Linksys) routers have gone dodgy, just over the wireless. And yes I did try different WLess NICs

Re: High pings to London server.
I bought this router to replace my old one when it was blamed for high pings and that is working perfectly on ADSL now this is only a month old.

Re: High pings to London server.
the gaming cop out is because of congestion, congestion will pretty much ruin gaming unless their is shaping in place to prioritise the traffic.

Re: High pings to London server.
thats pretty bad, what speed you on? and yes it looks like congestion to me and looks worse then what I had.
If its upstream congestion then forcing yourself onto diff upstream might fix it, cycle your modem or login to it and use reset to defaults option which usually works better then cycling it and keep doing it until the upstream channel changes. If its downstream congestion you stuffed until ntl spend ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£ÃƒÆ ’‚£ on upgrades.
