How fast is your connection to the server?

[Valdoroth]

I used a trace route to see all my connections (with command prompt type tracetr _______ <--- the ip address you are tracing to):
For those of you who do not understand the numbers, smaller numbers means you have less lag. 150+ is too slow to fade in combo.

This is how bad my lag was today :D

connecting from 3k+ miles distance, ME, US (bout 3-5 mins walk from Canadian border so can't really get much further without being in Canada lol.)

Your connection as well as others is probably in some bad hop/bottleneck of data, I wouldn't expect it to last long usually the data networks are already aware as bottlenecking is quite common. Loss of bandwidth somewhere in the network, or high increase in volume of data can result in what your experiencing with the high ping.

[Valdoroth]

I can't wait to move and have my connection look like that.

[SkiYeon]

Macca's wifi ftw

[sn0wXz]

Something I noticed, your hops to the local ISP servers are already high, before it even does the hop to *.*atlas.cogentco.com, it almost looks like it might be ISP related more so then server related, I'm no expert though, but if you were looking for a bad hop to the server, normally you would beable to differentiate that in the tracert, your ping just seems to increase substantially from the first hop to *.*.ip-addr.tks-net.com which im assuming is your ISP's physical addy for which ever server your hop ended up in first.

Are you on router btw? First hop would be your gateway, the routers local LAN addy, or the cable modem termination system at the local server if you don't have router.

[Valdoroth]

Yes, I already know it's my ISP. lol, but where I live right now, I have no other choices.

I actually expected worse, counting I live on the east coast, and use the very cheapest timewarner's connection.

[Midgetchas14]

im also east coast. i have a low plan. but its comcast so. low plan for comcast is better than most expensive plans.

[Berserk_Fury]

What are you talking about? Comcast is just as bad as timewarner.

[Midgetchas14]

What are you talking about? Comcast is just as bad as timewarner. not around here. comcast has 5x the speed of verison for the same price. and no other Isp around here is even close to comcast speed.

[sn0wXz]

Comcast and rr have similar plans, comcast is little more expensive in general, but you have to take into account the service area (prices vary) and also given roadrunner might not be available in all the areas comcast is or vice-versa. Personally with 50$ rr plan I don't see any latency problems, but I would think it depends more on where you live then what service your using, as living near a dense population may result in peak time usage lagging a bit even with faster servers then sparsely populated areas using broadband/fiber optic networks.

[Berserk_Fury]

not around here. comcast has 5x the speed of verison for the same price. and no other Isp around here is even close to comcast speed.

So by what you're saying, comcast must offer a 125 mbps down and 125 mbps up connection for $50 a month in your area?

[Midgetchas14]

So by what you're saying, comcast must offer a 125 mbps down and 125 mbps up connection for $50 a month in your area? Down and up are never the same besides that point.
i pay about 30 a month for 25 down and 5 up. verison is 30 a month for 5 down and like 1 up.

[Berserk_Fury]

I'm pretty sure the 30 a month is one of those first year promotional prices, because I used to have that too back home. Then we switched to FiOS, first year we paid $35 a month, then it became $50 a month after for 25 down and 25 up advertised. My actual speedtest showed 30 down, 25 up. I'm pretty sure you won't be getting anything better than that from comcast.

Guess it doesn't matter now though, since the place I live at doesn't offer much choices, and a cheap 10 down 1 up connection works well enough for me atm.

Also. you think they will ever fix the "What's New" its annoying digging for new posts lol

[-Itachi Uchiha-]

This needs to be fixed soon x.x

My avg ping is 0 I wish I could say that, but I can say that' next to impossible to have 0. You have at least a few.

I jelly. What service do you use?

[SellMyChar]

must be rogers, unless bell is better over there in the west, time for me to switch

btw val i suggest covering up your ip, its the only one that didn't time out when i traced it. and i am no expert but it makes me think your firewall isn't very strong or even there at all. if that isn't true let me know so i can learn

that's probably bcs that number isn't my ip so is easy to ping. Don't worry about it.

[Valdoroth]

Which of these 2 is more accurate? One is from my command promt, the other was on ip-address-lookup-v4.com:

I play on a standard eMachines T6524 that I bought in 2003/4, can't remember. Dash combo and do anything else just fine. :)

ya i used to play on an old dell p4 with 2gb of ddr1 ram and integrated intel graphics, no problems
