    This has been stable for about the last week or so, and looks to continue, now that the interference problem has been fixed. no more paclet loss, no more lag.

    EDIT: i think the spikes are being caused by that damnable spyware, just found it on my comp.

    IBB staff were helpful in general and the installation engineer deserves a medal for going above and beyond the call of duty (Thanks C.).

    Credit where it's due and all that.

    omg. I must have it. I must have it now.

    I'm currently sitting with 500ms ave pings to jolt (thru a wireless service!)

    No hes is deadly serious I have seen esat bt business broadband first hand and my mate activly has in game pings anything from 10-20 on irish cs servers and anything from 15-30 on uk servers.

    that said he is using the standard usb modem they provided I hear that with the dlink 504 for instance that your pings would go down a slight we bit.

    bah im just waiting 2 weeks to get connected to esat bt business now :( hurry hurry hurry 56k is a killa :(

    If any one has been following this thread you will see that esat bt business does not not ever go above a 30 average to jolt servers and also never above a 20 to boards which is pretty amazing.

    eircom seem to be brilliant as well for pings and constant download speeds but the cap and the price of the business product without a cap put me off. still fair deuce to the rat for having a steady service.

    Jonny just wondering if you would not mind telling me what computer specs you have and also what router/modem that you are using.

    Also if you play cs any chance you could tell me you average in game pings to jolt servers are.

    ps " how long were you waiting to get connected ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,681 ✭✭✭Johnny_the_fox


    computer specs ...

    Athlone 2.0xp Ghz Processor
    256 SDRAM


    the modem - came with the broadband package "bt voyager 100"

    the difference is that im in the north - and bt have installed a local exchange less than 1/2 a mile from my house....

    I dont play CS.. but a friend near by - was getting pings of 8 - 20 on both irish and Uk servers....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,017 ✭✭✭sReq | uTeK


    Cheers man just could you answer me one more thing.How long all in all before you actually got connected from the time they processed your order that is.

    cheers man


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,502 ✭✭✭MrPinK


    He's on BtBroadband tho, not esat business. He's probably paying half as much as you for his too :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,681 ✭✭✭Johnny_the_fox

    Even though Jonny is up the North, I doubt the 5ms pings to Jolt, my m8 in the UK is on Nildram, Jolt's ISP and he got 20ping, just 2/3 hops to server.

    Text editors are a wonderful thing, as you can see from my uber 1ms ping :p

    I agree but maybe he is telling the truth, or is that physically impossible in a cross the sea situation? I don't know but then I'll just have to wait til I can afford DSL to get EsatBT Broadband business service in Drogheda.

    Could anyone post pings d/l speeds for UTV Clicksilver

    _
    Also would my Linksys router (model BEFSX41) which ive used on Road Runner (US) work with this DSL service. ..taking into account i got an ethernet modem and correct converter.

    The eircom DSL line I have is pretty good. Playing against 24-30 players in Battlefield 1942, and no lag. And lag is VERY importeant when yer doing lotsa of nose dives, bombing raids, etc in the planes. And when yer flying, you don't have time to look at the ping. If I'm standing around, tho, it's usually below 30.

    In college I can ping jolt at <10ms (NT ping, won't give times below 10ms). If interleaving was fully turned off and you had a really good connection, it'd say it's possible. Can't see any reason why the guy would lie about it.

    In college I can ping jolt at <10ms

    which college? and where. I seriously doubt its possible to get trans-country pings of even 10ms to game servers. It takes about 5ms for me to ping my gateway server.... I'm on wireless... which technologically gives the best pings supposedly. I can get ingame pings of 50-70 in jolt.

    DCU. T3 connection straight to HEANet. Their backbone network connects directly to JANET's UK backbone. Doubt the packets see much copper along the way, pretty much all fibre optics straight across.

    my packets see exactly 0 milimetres of copper on their trip. First it goes through about 7 metres of cat5 cable (i assume cat5 isn't made of copper... i may be wrong though), then gets beamed across by an antenne when it goes through fibreoptics the rest of the way to heanet (afaik). I wish i got pings that good.

    i can't find where i read this now :(
