impossible to game on eircom even with 3MB

Hank Scorpio

In the evening my ping stability has gone to sh1te.

Jumping anyway between 40 and 150 all evening long no matter which server, seems the problem is in my last hop out of ireland @ dublin

good linestats etc, anyone having problems recently?

Also getting alot of packetloss

Browsing sites or trying to download something is akin to getting shat on.

ETA, im getting constant disconnects. Then all of a slap it'll be grand and i can download and browse, next morning you get the same ****e. CBA ringing them.

Contention and interleaving probably...ring them, tell them you're a gamer.

Thats all well and good when you are in Dublin or other major area.

e-Mo0?

Its crazy,
BT told me there's nothing they can do and they don't care about ping times.

Does anyone know if you can get out of the contract because of this bad service?

They must be "fixing" something lately. I wont hold my breath. I always thought they had a good service with no connection problems, till this upgrade ****e.

FIX IT.

Kev.

Ive been noticing this lately so I rang them up to upgrade to 7 mb

They told me my line can only hold 4 mb,and theres nothing I can do

Anybody any ideas how to resolve this,I live in Clonsilla Dublin

Upgraded speeds are worse for ping on DSL

Youve been noticing your ping lately kev?

Anyone on 7.6 meg rings up whinging about pings and they give them the same ****. So why upgrade at all. Line cant handle it lol.

Its the Upgrade of Death.

Ask them to revert your connection to the old 3MB way, pre-upgrade.

Sorry Just to clear this up,

Ive been noticing lag on COD lately,so I thought to myself that it would probably worth getting a better speed in(7mb)especially as gears is coming out soon

Basically eircom told me I have a crap line in my house and all it can hold is 4 mb

So I rang around to see if I could get another provider,20 mb sounded nice,but the girl said that I will have to wait to get my line upgraded by Eircom.

I know people who live 5 miles away and they have 20 mb,

Is there any way I could get this sorted to get a better speed?

Thanks in advance for any help

Lag is not improved by higher speed, the reverse can be true on DSL.

I doubt anyone on DSL can get 20Mbps at 5miles (8km). 8km is about the max distance and at that you are lucky if you either get it all or more than 1Mbps.

Only LLU up to 1 or 2km, Cable, fibre (in very few places) and some wireless systems (up to 20km) can do 20Mbps.
