Packet loss/ping time outs with IBB in D15

    Here we go again, more problems for me with IBB in D15 on the Atruim. MY dload speeds are ok ish between 50 and 150 k per sec and my pings are good 25-60 depending on the server, so far so good but here is my problem. I cant stay on a game server for more than 5 mins. Even with good pings I keep loosing my connection to the server getting messages like " Youre connection to the server has been lost."

    So I did a ping -t to the server IP and good good pings but every 10-20 results were request time out, some times 2 and 3 times in a row. I then did a tractrt to same IB and found the problem seemed to be on the conection called ibis.irishbroadband. I`ll post up the actual results later on I dont have them on me right now.

    So is any one else getting this type of problem? or is it just me. My net connection seems fine just the odd bit of packet loss. After a call to tech support today the guy on the phone said he could not help me and that he would sent my information along to second level. Is this just me or is any one else getting problems connecting to the ibis.IBB.

    For those that dont know how to ckeck this you hit start then run and type cmd in the box. Then ping -t (some IP or web site ) then you can exit this with ctrl C. Also ya can see the route yer connection takes to said IP or web site by typing tracert www.boards.ie for example.

    Well as it happens im getting great pings just disconnects from game servers. If you were just a downloader and the ocasional web browser in my boat you would not have a problem at all. Its a strange one and after 1 call to IBB yesterday there has been no change. How long should I give them? another 2 months?
