UPC On-Line Gaming Slow

Bill-e

Hi,

I have the 5mb UPC and am playing Call of Duty on line.

It says my connection is 4 bars but I must be suffering from connection issues casue everyone is killing the crap outta me.

I cant even see these guys before they've killed me.

Is this a thing with UPC?

You might just suck.

Check your ping, usually by pressing tab while playing.
I get 50's to france, and 70's to everywhere else except uk and ireland (150's).

My UPC has been flaky all day in Cork. Now it's down.

PC or xbox

I find on pc games on UPC I get little ping spikes every 20 or 30th ping and these ruined pc gaming. Less of a problem on xbox live for some reason.

Effect was momentary lag that usually ended in death ;>

thanks for the replies.

I'm on the PS3. I'm not great with the analog controller. But some games I'm top 3 with more kills than deaths and in the last few days I've gone entire games witout even one kill.

When I watch the kill cam replay the guys have ample time to aim and shoot the crap out of me many times. From my perspective I don't even hear the sound of the gun they shoot me with. The moment i see them i dead already.

Will try that ping thing later on.

I'm on upc 8meg (i think) and my ping to most servers in the UK in around 37ms. In Europe it can get as high as 70ms.
This is with CoD 4/WaW/BO. With the p2p matchmaking system with MW2 it was all dependent on the location of the host user.

From the few broadband providers I've used during the years UPC is by far the best when it comes to online gaming due to the super fast ping times.

There are a bunch of issues on PS3 version of Blackops right now - particularly late at night.
If your getting all green bars then chances are it's the damn game issues.

Make sure you have right ports forwarded for a start - will help.
