    it goes like this for a few hours everyday then returns back to averaging about 20 ms ping ....which is what it used to be all the time before.

    DSL uses eircom bitstream unless you have LLU DSL Totally unrelated to Metro.

    ping ftp.heanet.ie also to elimate if the problem is "local" or elsewhere. Some sites I get stable 24ms pings and other further sites pings from 300 to 1900ms. If ANY sites are stable low ping, then the problem is congestion/problems outside of your own ISP.

    thx watty, its weird its ok tonight but but it dosen't matter if it playing up or not i get better pings to london than dublin.

    hi all.
    just been on to support(first chance i got since it started).

    the usual cr@p was said "we will put you on monitor for 24hs" (never find anything)

    "blaming trees blocking line of sight" (yeah its funny that trees can move as in good 1 day bad another)

    "it looks fine on our side" (haha what side are they on?)

    "i will ring you back tomorrow at this time" (no breath holding from me)

    so as you can see i'm a little bit bitter when it comes to there support.i would have left them but who else is there that is actually good for online gaming?
    i already been with ibb,clearwire and eircom.

    watty i pinged heanet and got just now and got this

    Are you wired direct to Modem or using WiFi or Router?

    It looks like periodic bursts of interference either on Metro link or WiFi or Router.

    When I had all four ethernet ports and 5 users on Wifi in use at same time I was seeing that kind of ping oddity on my own lan between two PC on wired ethernet (Usually < 1ms, but spikes to 45 or 200ms). I added a switch, a Linux Router and use the wifi now as only an Access Point (Only one LAN ethernet port in use and no WAN ethernet).

    However local outdoor interference near coax (12MHz to 21Mhz or 490MHz band) or on Microwave path (10.2GHz or 10.55GHz approx) occasionally would cause it. If Microwave it would be near you as other people don't seem to be affected.

    Must be local intermittant interference then.

    Is there NTL cable anywhere near your modem to Outdoor Radio Set cable or Satellite Dish anywhere near your radio set.

    How far is your outdoor Radio away from the road?

    Email support a much longer ping -t to heanet.ie

    I have a coaxial cable connected to a tv card in my pc running from a ntl digital box downstairs.nothing has changed with the setup.
    theres is no dish near the radio set.
    i will be talking to support tomorrow and will mail them the long ping but all they usually only want screen shots from there site's speedtest
    the radio is near the road but in an estate not a busy road

    thanks again

    It's unlikely, but not impossible that if the NTL cable goes anywhere near the Digiweb Modem or coax that you could get interference. Also NTL are changing the frequencies and services on their cable, so you could get interference when it was OK before.

    it's hard to tell as your problem looks quite intermittent.

    well all i can say is "i'm shocked"
    actually got a call back from a guy i was dealing with in support.
    they can see the fluctuations in my signal.
    he reckons trees are blocking my line of sight. hehe still blaming those poor trees that plant themselves in my way one day and move another.

    i have to wait till late next week for a service call.not happy about the wait.by then this will be about 2 weeks of this cr@p but at least the admit there is a fault. (took week last time for them to admit)

    will post again when i get call out.

    thx again watty

    keith.
