8Ta latency on local Game servers

[jpmonster]

Hey

Out of curiosity how has the latency been with the new 8Ta network on our local game servers as well as disconnects.

I tested my Cell C 2Gb on some IS TF2 Servers and I got 90ms constant for about 1 hour ( thats as long as I played) and there were no disconnects. Can some one perhaps post details and experiences.

Because of the peering issues between telkom and mweb, the latencies will be quite bad if you want to play something like black ops.

i play MW2 on xbox live, with international then most of the time i get 2 bars and it plays ok. so my guess is if i should play a local match with local player then i believe it will play very well. my upload is always 600-900kbps my ping for local is 45ms and international its 150ms

i just spoke to one of the 8ta people over the phone and this guy shared some interesting stuff, he told me that i should get a modem from their store an 8ta modem and then i should ask them what modem is better for upload. he says cause there are modems which have been set to go to a certain speed. and that it is best to get a modem which ever service provider you currently using. for example is you using vodacom, then get a vodacom modem, if you using cell c, then get a cell c modem. thats what he said. i believe him cause i have a K4505-z vodaofone modem, when i use my vodacom sim, i get 2bars in HomeFront playing 32players online and it was running GREAT like there was no lag!
