High pings again

[MarkE]

Good luck with Enta.

to be fair given how often of late pings have been cr*p with idnet,then i will take that luck


cannot be any worse

[Rik]

Do let us know how it compares, Mark. It's always useful to see what the competition is like.

It's worse here 

It also appears to have a different pattern to it. The first graph has a distinctive pulse of lost packets. I have a PC here that produces the same ping graph pattern no matter what the quality of the connection and I can't for the life of me work out what's causing it. The frequency of the pulse, 35-40 seconds, is exactly as displayed in your first graph and it causes the accumulated latency figure to be a number of times higher than the base.

I have never seen it like that until yesterday, the only thing that happened yesterday was my router rebooted itself, then I had no internet access at around 6 am in the morning, when I got home from work I rebooted it again to get a connection back. After that I got the 35 - 40 second pattern, on 1 laptop, but not the PC. Both the laptop and PC go through the same wiring, Speedtouch 585 v6 > Linksys PSUS4 switch so I have no idea what could cause it.

[zappaDPJ]

Very odd indeed, I wish I could pin it down.

[Glenn]

I've swapped routers and connected to the test socket, I still get the same 35 - 40 second time out cycle. Does yours do the same from the test socket?

My migration doesnt come through till next tuesday.In the meantime putting up with these unplayable pings...............

What exactly are idnet doing regarding the balancing because that is not looking too good for me here,luckily my hairs pretty short else i would be bald by now 

[Rik]

Stop boasting.

Have you spoken to support? The network should be re-balanced now (I checked at lunchtime).

[Gary]

All day my pings have been pretty good they maxed at 40ms earlier but now they are fine.

Stop using spaghetti to your router

I gave up on support and settled on biding my time to migrate Rik lol

I get 32ms to your multiplay addy ping wise as I said since they balanced the network, email them, you are only here for a few days, whats there to loose 

[Glenn]

Stop using spaghetti to your router 

Brian is currently looking into the problem

[Rik]

Of spaghetti! 

[Glenn]

It grows n trees you know

[Rik]

I do, I do.

[karser]

Going to request my mac tomorrow I think

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Glenn]

Looking at my graph and karser's, the noise on both, increase around the same time  To me that would appear to be congestion on the central, I'm most likely wrong though.

[Rik]

Congestion can't affect NM though, that's a purely local issue.

[Glenn]

I was referring to the ping time increase

[Rik]

Ah, it's just you said noise.

[Glenn]

A poor choice of words 

[Rik]

You know they never get past me, Glenn.
