Hi,

ive noticed a definate increase in ping ms this month :( i know that not much can really be done about this but im willing to try some suggestions from other people.

Anyone know any tweaks to 'lower' ping?
 
I have the same experience....very high pings not to mention the timeouts.I have tried the antenna and to find the sweetspot to no avail.I login to the Nothcliff tower so that maybe explain things.
 
Try move you UTD around again sounds like you need to find a new sweet spot (they did something and the old one no longer works) - Not a good suggestion but probably the only one. Northcliff is quite bad especially at beginning of month.
 
actually i find the speed changes from in or out the sweet spot but pings are kinda the same
 
Maybe its different for you but my pings differed vastly from in or out the sweet spot. Like from over 500ms (ave +-700ms) downto less than 200ms (ave +-110ms) in the space of 30cm. The speed seemed to show almost the same sort of improvement <200 to 500-800.

This all without the arial connecting to northcliff from home (but i haven't tested again here for a while)

I suspect something did change. Had my Sweet spot nicely sorted, went on leave with everything unplugged, and no-one (read domestic worker) in the house to move the UTD around ... when I got back, it dropped from 5 leds to 3, so I had to look for a new sweet spot.

It might also be the additional 50 odd houses they are building, affecting my signal. :confused:
 
I think also 'possibly' I say this with no technical knowledge of any kind!

it might change according to the numbers and locations of other iburst customers around u.

I was thinking about the way they say the tower concentrates its signal on each individule UTD/UTC as per their website.

Any comments on this ... i would love response good or bad
 
My latency went from under 100ms to over 1000ms from yesterday. Not to mention the packet loss :(

I really hope they get it fixed today.....I wana play wow.
 
anyone found anything that works yet? I have tried hundreds of tutorials to lower ping but nothing works guess its out of our hands. I did come across a few suggestions to download an app called pingbot, i have run many searches and cant find it...anyone ever heard of this? Anyone know where i can find it?

177ms might not seem to bad for some, but last month it was 40ms, and this was taken at around 18:30 when things usually cool down. earlier i was getting a ping of around 350ms

40ms is very good don't expect to keep that up - I have only seen those low rates (consitently) on ISDN.

Btw way you prob connect to northcliff so we all know where this is going

I had it at 40ms for over two months...well maybe 40ms is a bit to fast to ask for but at least they should get it back to under 100ms
 
mine are about that 40 - 50ms

by the way the Kyocera site says that iBurst is supposed to have pings that low, obviously a crap quality of signal will not give you those pings but if your connection is fine then 40 - 60ms is completly normal with iBurst technology

Very poor....
 
Well Slim from my view your connection is the best I have seen on this forum. I am just saying that maybe not all of us can maintain that as WBS adds more customers (btw wat tower you on slim?)

Under 100ms I think is a reasonable ask from WBS ... Have you complained to WBS and asked them to come and fix?
 
i phoned about a week ago about the higher latency, and the repsone i got was like "If your connection is still working, whats the problem?"
