Well this is starting to become a joke, I have speeds that go up and down and recently my pings on counter strike have also started to change where i had below 20ms to servers I am now never below 50ms mostly more.

I would like my decent pings back and also the surfing as it used to be not hit and miss as at present ask to move on a page and this can hang for no reason refreshing the page doesn't always work and I have tried three browsers when it starts to hang they all do.

From what I hear all over the counter strike community those using NTL/Telewest seem to be having problems with high pings some have had this for over 6 months. This is not acceptable why keep signing more up if you already know the network is at breaking point.

Now we are Virgin Media how about setting up an email section so we can send in our tracerts for them to see you tried explaining a tracert to the Indian call center.

It's happening a lot, I've been getting high pings in BF2 for the past month or so. And someone else is getting it with CS as well. There's another thread on here about it.

ikthius · 03-03-2007, 19:28

my net is slow too and slowest at the same IP as above

Mine has always been top notch but for the past few days many sites return Cannot Find Server and my pings have gone sky high.

Well maybe we are no reaping the rewards of paying managment high bonuses and making most of the workforce contract instead of in house workers and now the network is at breaking point will give anolther month then maybe its time to look what else is available.

I think the "tubes" are full up.....

At least, that's what an American Senator thought. Tubes

So basically to justify the problem you can't rely on one trace route, that also applys to me saying there isn't a problem. There could be a number of reason's why your experiencing an issue, but where? well keep testing that route and if it continues to be a source of a problem, then there is a basis to complain about it.

Has anyone actually tried to contact VM about these problems. if i am ever having a problem at all with my internet, have had a few they have always managed to sort them out. If they dont know of the problems cause we dont give them feedback they wont be ablke to fix em. I reckon everyone should ring up and explain the problems they are havin with there net connection. They sorted mine out almost straight away.

I have had over 6 years of NTL before the India call center problems was resolved and correctly diagnosed, sadly the last 4 times i cvalled tech support in India they blames the modem and arranged engineers to come out when everytime it was the network. Still using the modem they have said was died some 12months later. We get told we have to wait till they upgrade some have been waiting for upto 7 months now. I was told my connections are not congested yet counter strike at times is impossible to play.

I am on cable 4mb

i have also had problems playing cod online , i play on a server in the usa and on my tracert the hop before i jump to the usa i am getting a ping of 80 to 100 ( linx gw2 peer1.net -195.66.226.156 )

i spoke to the call centre in india tuesday , and friday but they were about as much use as a fudge fireguard , all they would say is it is not our server so there is nothing they could do about it , even though my service is suffering , also my ubr? is over subscribed.

i am sick to my teeth of the customer service i get everytime i call and will cancel the service if my pings to not improve.

The net is pretty slow tonight, pages are taking forever to load.

swoop101 · 03-03-2007, 22:49

Don't bite my head off for this, but if you are not on a proxy then try using one. I have and it improved things a lot. (I cannot believe I said this

)

Downloads are fine as is upload yet pings are pants
lol they should do a fast pings package wonder how fast that would have people signed up
