Who is your isp paperbag?

Believe it or not - I never had spikes or fps lag.

Also, a few peeps have a great ping 20-50ms and they still say they lag - must be hardware then that cant handle the game.
 
Im with klear, they are the only wisp in my area aside from waiting for telscum wimax...which i am! But i have an i5 and ati 5850 so its not hardware...the thing that baffles me is that i can still ping mweb fine but as soon as im in the game LAG? eish
 
Afrihost is peering with MWEB and has cheap bandwidth. Or get any other IS based ISP to confirm the lag issue.
 
Klear does peer with IS...I'm gonna speak to those monkey technicians on Monday...again :(
 
Klear needs to peer with Mweb, not IS. Just suggested it in case you were using wimax to check the lag problem. If they don't have an open peering agreement with MWEB then you're going to lag.
 
These last few days the ping in game has been great! Except for maybe during business hours where everyone is using the network but I suppose thats to be expected from a wisp
 
Thanx for bringing them to my attention, I am looking for an alternative to iburst. would you mind doing a speed test and ping test and posting your results here?

There you go hope it helps! You should know I am actually on the 512k uncapped 1:10 contention ratio package and whenever a ask WTF am I only getting 256k speeds they ALWAYS tune the bs contention ratio story! Which is weird because I was previously on the 256k uncapped package from them before it was discontinued and I got the exact speeds. But I can tell you that rapidshare downloads at full line speed which is 30kb/s (256k line) so I can do 2.4 gigs a day thats a posible 72 gigs monthly if you have downloads going 24/7! Black Ops gaming is fine out of office hours (when fewer people are on the network) but only some times OK during the day...their capped packages would be better for gaming.

Wells thats my mini Klear uncapped review!
 
Agreed, those speeds looks terrible. I was looking at the capped unshaped packages anyway, as I don't download that much, only game.

Is the equipment they install at your place the same as WiMax?
 
I think my equipment is wifi as I'm close to a tower but ya I think they also instal wimax
 
its the worst while you the last alive and the other guy is ok :)
