download speeds are mainly determined by the bandwidth of the site your downloading from, try downloading from a huge site like sun.com or microsoft.ie to test download speed

OfflerCrocGod

Not only is it the Easter break but I've gone and grabbed UT2K4 only to end up getting pings of 250-350 on UK servers!!!:eek:, this is pure crap it's only my incredible skill :ninja: that has been saving my ass in online games - it really sucks. My pings to boards used to be 16ms they are now 150ms:mad:.

Downloading Americas Army at the mo on UTV, ok its not IOL and this is an IOL thread, but im getting 53KB/sec which is pretty good considering all these problems that are going on. Still pinging in the 220's tho with Irish Battlefield vietnam servers.

Dude, the pings are fine early in the day/small hours of the morning. It's the peak hours that are the problem.

Hopefully this means some kind of improvement on the way...

I set up an MRTG script last night to log latency on the first hop. Apart from the odd spike it was much improved this evening.
