Excellent Speed and Pings on Clicksilver

dub45

Just so as it wont get lost in the midst of the other thread on speed I wanted to confirm that Clicksilver has improved out of all recognition in the past two nights (Please dont let that be tempting fate!!!) so let's hope it will keep up now.

Yeah theres been a fair ammount of discussion on the newsgroup. The techies have been working overtime.

Nice one dub. I've stayed away from most of the UTV threads here, simply because I have not experienced the level of disruption you and others have reported. Apart from the Easter difficulties, I have had consistently good service from UTV, and it's good to hear that it's improved for you as well.

My experience would suggest that you are not tempting fate by starting a complimentary thread. I expect the service will maintain the high standard that I am accustomed to.

I sincerely hope so UTV have a lot of ground to make up in restoring their reputation as far as I am concerned and I am sure a lot of others. Bear in mind that as recently as last Wednesday one user in the support group was describing it as the worst night ever on Clicksilver so it is early days yet......

Pings for me are still around 60ms to boards.ie but have improved to around 45ms to jolt.co.uk, which is good.

I can never get it that good , never could either , my first hop is in the 45ish range , just wondering what your setup is ?

Also I never had a problem with d/l speeds ( counting out the obvious times ) , mine are always in the 51/52 KB/s , always . Anyone able to say why my pings and d/l speeds differ in quality , or is that just the way it is with radsl ?

well done utv. the service is damn hot

They must have finally gone and started hurting people in energis to get them to fix their poxy network.

Download speed is still up |& down for me but maxes at 370/380kbps.


I've had serious packet loss issues now for weeks & have heaps of corrupted (i.e. useless) downloaded files

Just ran those ping tests now & had only 1 result without packet loss from 8 runs.

I dumped UTV as my ISP which I had with my ISDN line. I just had enough and getting BB was cheaper any who :-/


Regards,

Fair dues to the UTV crew.

The service has improved beyond all recognition in the past few days. D/L speeds, Pings etc. all as good as one could expect.

Hopefully it will stay good and recover any lost ground re. reputation.


All the moaning and ranting was worth it....

Thanks a lot Martin, Malcom et al.

Ae

rymus

Hardly worth mentioning.. but quite an improvement here too.. I wonder if it'll last until Monday morning, or maybe even... *gasp* Tuesday!?!

Aepos

Oops,

here we go again d/l speeds way way down again (4:00pm) below 200 on giganews and ADSL Guide. Pings to Jolt & UTV are OK but Boards around 60-70ms.

Hows things elsewhere?


AE

dub45

Speed is still ok for me over 400ish on giganews.

Aepos

Interesting info re. bad D/L speeds, My router logged a disconnection lunchtime today and the speeds were V poor after that.

I did a reboot of the router ( Netgear 834G ) just now and the problems have gone away...

Downstream 427 Kbps (53.4 KB/sec) 461 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 104 Kbps (13.0 KB/sec) 112 Kbps (inc. overheads)

So I dont know what to make of all that however things are good again...

Cheers

Ae

Mutant, just read the sarcasm thread on your sig. excellent Wonder if he's bothered posting since??

Suosan

Maybe this is not the right place for this question and if not I apologise.

I have just signed on for Clicksilver (on Good Friday) and am waiting while my line is checked out.

Can you guys tell me a bit about the modem provided. My machine only has USB 1.1 and I would like to know if this will be sufficient ?

It looks like the modem that UTV supply is only USB1.1 anyways. I have not seen any reporting any problems with it so far so you should be fine. More here.

not sure if this was mentioned before but i just noticed that on the All Seeing Eye there is a UTVi gaming server for Counterstrike. It pings bad for me on eircom (60-120ms) shud be more like 30ms, anyway perhaps it would give very good pings to UTV Clicksilver users, the address is 194.46.26.150:28015

Gonzo

did a tracert there and its one of the servers that was owned by previous owners dna internet.

It has only been set up in the past few days.

Yeah, Charles from UTV support set it up at the request of people in the utv.support newsgroup. Too many cs servers around already I tells ya!
