Crystal Web (NEW ISP) ADSL Feedback

Speaking to the wife via Skype now, she informs me nothing on YouTube buffers on 720p via her tab. Sounds good.

Ok so I don't know if the international fix is fully in place yet but I have this to report so far:

Wildstar seems to be performing well at the moment. I am running around solo at the moment though, so this is subject to change once I do group content (where I have seen it suffer on CW before, but handled well on my free gig accounts).

In game latency meter shows as a steady 204ms but true latency as indicated by an addon (round trip latency, as opposed to server side) ranges from about 260ms to 340ms. Not ideal, but not terrible either. Before today, I would have on average about 500ms with extreme packet loss.

As with all other ISPs in the past, gaming latency for me is the true benchmark. I love the download speeds on CW as well, but latency is my number one priority and will determine my happiness factor This is pretty much the one thing that OW got right (for the most part, as they dropped the ball heavily on GW2). Wildstar is more predictable with their IP ranges, unlike GW2 that has a massive range of IP addresses in use at any given time between maps.

VDSL products will be released to market soon, and the new capped products too.

Cool, but it's not for VDSL, 20mbps over ADSL2+.

D3 latency still broken

Does it make a difference to the isp? i'm pretty sure they just set a speed limit (correct me if i'm wrong)

Until that is addressed... I'll have to stick it out on AH capped.

 

[StevenC]

Just hopped on to D3 to check, it's averaging about 250ms. It also feels quite smooth.

Thanks I'll try it in a bit.

However, public event in Wildstar I see my latency at about 400ms. This does not bode well for when the fighting starts!

Getting lots of lag in eso. Not playable like this. Had to switch to the backup isp again.

same thang

 

[Lord Nikon6]

same thang

Technically not, but I get what you mean.

From the ISPs point of view it's just the bandwidth cap on the account. But yea

Latency in League of Legends finally seems to be stable (touch wood). Sitting at a very healthy 170/180 ms.

Update: Was still spiking, but the spikes were only 20-30 ms compared to the normal 50-100 ms spikes.

Hope everything is sorted out in a week from now when my current account is cancelled.

PoE (EU servers):

This is insanely good...

What does a speed test to the same server look like on a different ISP?

What http, p2p and NNTP download speeds do you guys get?

My local http is 419 to 424KB/s. Int 70 to 90KB/s, 100+ if I am lucky
p2p is 30 to 98KB/s - not really worried about it.
NNTP (CW) is 108 to 132KB/s, spiking to 152.

All speed after switching of the router from 01:30 to 09:00.

4Mbps line, 4Mbps uncapped.
