Ping times Jan 28 onwards

[uxbod]

Now on SuperMax service :-

to the DNS server.

[Mytheroo]

supermax here also, but am interleaved   1312/736 kbps

[uxbod]

Need to check router when home ... VoIP has been far better tonight though

[4Way]

Its still just as bad for me, Ping is all over the place. Ah well, I'll just keep logging and sending them in to support.

[Aaron]

wow, what was that? Had massive packetloss just then

[David]

Just lost connection ?

[Matt M]

same thing here

[David]

See other thread started Matt.....sorry my fault for posting here sorry

[Lance]

To be positive, we are seeing less complaints here of slow pings which means either or both of two things:

1. The issue is being sorted by idnet and those still affected should continue to log and report to support.

2. People have used a mac code!

Connection is better tonight for me, had 10 - 15mins earlier this evening when pings was high but sorted itself out without a reboot needed, a few high spikes since then (not including the no connection issue in the other thread)

So hopefully IDnet will be back to its normal self by the end of the week.

I'd like to stay positive but setting aside the continual fluctuating latency my connection just dropped while I was in the middle of applying a security patch to a vBulletin message board and it appears I've killed it. What should have been a 30 minute job has potentially turned into days of work and I can already feel a truck load of hate and loathing coming my way from hundreds of disgruntled users. I can't say I'm too happy just now.

[Sebby]

That sucks, as they say.

[Simon]

Sorry to hear that, Zap.  Can you not revert to a backup?

[Desaan]

I got hacked off with the constant 404's for 5-10 mins a time over the last few weeks, trying out https://www.opendns.com as we speak, so far a definite improvement in load times.  As for stability, we'll see.

[Sebby]

I've been using OpenDNS for ages now and I think it's great.

Wish I'd known sooner Sebby, would of saved me a whole load of earache from angry women

Or to be negative, support haven't suggested who should post anything to anywhere.  Rik has, but I haven't seen any suggestions from IDNet on this very important issue.

I'm only posting my ping stats here so others can compare or discuss as it doesn't seem to be having much impact here, but I'm aware the upgrade has gone a bit pear-shaped.  Browsing has gone sluggish though but that's not the end of the world.

It's a given that IDNet will do everything they can to get things back to normal but their virtual silence in the last couple of weeks has taken me completely by surprise.

Not thinking of leaving, just surprised by the lack of information from IDNet.

Lance You forgot option 3.Hung themselves,or / wrists.


Back on Topic,ping times tonight went dreadful around the usual times up to 400ms,just now I have had web browsing failure and not to mention loss of service earlier including numerous
disconnects and clunky browsing,almost making me wish I was back on Isdn.

[hellyl]

Am still having issues too, had the disconnect last night (poor hubby mid cod match!)  Am even turning the laptop off during cod games so not to disrupt the ping anymore than necessary - understanding wifey that I am!  Pings not so bad this morning again.  Seems from lunch time they start becoming more and more irratic.

Just a quick heads up on that. A growing number of gaming companies will not allow you to connect to their servers using this type of service. Blizzard in particular will place an automatic ban on your account when they detect it so World of Warcraft players will want to avoid it at all costs.

Sorry to hear that, Zap.  Can you not revert to a backup?

I've raised a ticket with the hosting company to see if there's a possibility of restoring the site from backup. I have a backup copy of all the SQL databases but not the vBulletin installation.

It shouldn't have happened, I believe vBulletin would normally pick up from where it was left hanging but from what I can see I didn't actually lose my connection last night it was some sort of massive (10 minute?) lag spike. I can only guess that I sent an inappropriate chain of commands via an FTP client or a browser while my connection was lagging. Whatever happened the installation is a total write off.

Rather ironically I've been leaching off my next door neighbour's wireless (with key and permission) for gaming this last week but reverted to my IDNet connection to update the the vBulletin installation because I thought it would be a safer bet

Hi Tim

I've been posting in here almost daily. But if you ever want to discuss anything specifically please just phone us or email us at any time.

We don't have much to add since yesterday: one of the VPs on one of our Centrals seems to be attracting a greater number of logins than the others and so has been getting congested. A simple router reboot should move you to a different VP (though it is not impossible to and back on the same, greedy, one).

Regards
Simon

Thanks for the update. Any idea what happened last night, it seemed to have effect most of the members posting here?

It looks like there was a routing blip over on Linx last night.
