    I'm sure that 20 minutes isn't fun but at least you can trip over some decent ping eventually.

    Not really a great long term solution for you tho.

    I'm sure if you ring tech support and tell them your having to restart your router 6 times every night to get a decent ping they'll probably tell you you've uncovered the secret to the mystic knights of etihs dnabdaorb and award you with some free music downloads or something.

    That would be awesome!

    There were rumours here that some of the probs might be sorted by the end of this week. Has anyone noticed an improvement? Again this is in relation to the Portlaoise exchange.

    Hi - I was told today that the upgrade went ahead during the night and was successful. You should all be seeing a big improvement from today on. Let me know if not.

    Cheers,

    its a joke really trying to play a FPS with ping like that
    when its 1am or so it just magically gets better and my ping goes below 50ms


    Steve - just saw your post. Can you let me know what exchange you are on so I can check what is going on.

    It's ~ 130 - 160ms inside Ireland, and stupidly higher outside.

    CM - if you do a tracert instead of a ping it will show where the latency is occurring. I can then check it for you.

    Last night I thought they were setting about fixing it.
    I think they have two problems at the moment.

    1. Overloaded links (e.g out of Portlaoise for example)

    2. DNS problems (which I believe are still not sorted yet)

    I presume last nights f*ckups were due to them trying to sort the DNS issues.

    Where's Grommet gone?

    Hi Zug - I'm here - but not on line every day.
    Yep - the issues the other night were definitely DNS related. Nothing to do with congestion etc.
    As mentioned above - the Portlaoise BRAS link has been upgraded so should be better tonight.

    Stephen Cabaal i take it your on BT? Stephen your on a higher than 3Meg connection?

    With apologies for all the different posts - answering various different reports above.

    Nuxx - from your tracert I can see that you are off the BRAS in Waterford
    ( b-ras1.wtd.waterford.eircom.net ). You'll be happy to hear that the connection from that server was upgraded this morning as well. So fingers crossed, you should be seeing big improvements from this evening.

    I'll log in on Monday again to see what everyone is reporting. Keep the trace routes coming - as they help me to know what questions to ask to my eircom buddies.

    This looks like you're on a LLU connection with BT?
    If it is Bitstream, what exchange are you connected to?

    Also - the source of the highest latency on that particular trace is on the interface between bt and digiweb. Presumably they've got some congestion on that peering link. Might be worth trying some other traces to other web sites to see if they are the same.

    Seems stable here too, have restarted a few times. Pings have jumped from 15ms to 60ms, but I think that's unrelated, (downgraded again today to see if it would help... likely higher interleaving enabled).

    CM - if you do a tracert instead of a ping it will show where the latency is occurring. I can then check it for you.

    I did mention I'm on BT's 7.6mb connection, Moate (Westmeath) exchange, didn't I?

    Cheers anyway - Hope that clears up things :)

    cm ya bab!:p

    your local exchange seems to be seriously congested,

    Most like BTS judging from the ip of your first hop

    Im glad my pings are sorted but i feel for you !:D

    Lol. Get on to BT? You should know of all people, that that doesn't work mate...

    I tried ringing them ages ago (after the upgrades) to see if they'd lower my interleaving.

    First thing they tried was the 'are you sure its the line? fancy running 4hrs of tests?' gimmick. I cut that shtuff out fairly fast. He went off the line for a minute then came back and told me I couldn't request lower interleaving, and that it PHYSICALLY WASNT POSSIBLE. At this point I was sick of this guy. Then he told me I'd either have to downgrade, or wait for 24mb, yet he had no idea when it'd happen, as that was up to eircom.

    i wonder wat made eircom fix there problem :s. . . . . . and how they fixd it so fast in some places. i was expectring one place = 1 week . another = 1 week etc... it seems a few of us got up graded at the one time. was this grommets doing? or boards doing ?>... or constant complaints

    Hi Grommet,

    Any chance you take a look at my connection. I seem to be on the mullingar exchange? I live 3 miles from the Killeshandra exchange in Cavan. Had excellent internet until about 3 months ago. On a 3 meg line with eircom and this is my trace after a few router restarts!!
