Latency problems

Aphrodite · #1 (**permalink**) 12-03-2006, 06:38 PM

I use to get a latency of 80 in all the sR servers but for some reason I'm now getting a 300 ping on all of them. I tried doing a tracert in cmd and i got through my router after that everything timed out until it reached straferights server ip. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I called verizon and we went through a bunch of tests and everything is fine on our end, my firewall is off, i've reset my box 5 times, its only happening with the straferight servers and Enigma is having the same problem.
I can play with an 80 ping at 1:00 in the morning but anytime before that its 300. Craig said it might be a bad hop does anyone else know what the problem could be?

ive tried everything I can on my end and you said everything is ok on yours so it has to be a bad hop/hops.....AHHHHHHHHH!!! so annoying. oh well if it is hops then there isnt anything we can do. I guess you wont see us in the servers till like 12am or later, it seems to get better around that time.

:thumbdownwell I had to tell them what a Tracert was and how to do it.........but after that they did a bunch of tests and checked work logs and stuff like that to see if it was anything that they could fix or atleast lock down what the problem is. They tested the connection and our DL and UL times are what they should be for our crappy DSL connection. (i miss my comcast) I have to give them alittle credit after we hung up they called back with a few ideas (that did work but atleast they took the time to call back). Over all im ready to take up scrabble and say

to the internet right now, there is always something. oh well we are planning on moving in the near future so maybe where ever we end up we will have better internet.
