Extreme delay to EU servers?

R69 a month to sign up with Gamemax.org, even if it's only for now so you can still raid, but less than 400ms here instead of 800-1000! Casuals!
 
Gamemax fails.

I used to use it. It ALWAYS lags out and d/c's when you either go into Wintergrasp or in a 25 main raid.

I used to get around 280ms with Gamemax and Unshaped. But what use is it when you can't raid 25 mans with it?
 
Was wondering if gamemax is any good :sick:

Anyone else has experience with using it more recently?
 
Busy testing it out atm, my latency stays around 200 - 400 ms. Its been great in BG but in wintergrasp its about the same with or with out Gamemax, I have not dced in wintersgrasp though.

Did a 25man uldar run on sunday latency stayed around 300ms no dc's or lag spikes.
Did 25man uldar again yesterday dced like Hell on every boss fight latency would go from 200ms right up too 1k ms and then back down to 200ms. So not sure if it was gammax or the problem that they having at level 3 in europe but i can say this when it worked on sunday it was like playing a diffrent game, it was smooth and very responsive. Gonna test it for this month hopefully its just the problem at level 3
 
Gahhhh

My Axxess UNSHAPED account is giving me latency of 1k ms and I keep getting d/c'd when a boss fight starts. W T F is going on? I am paying for a premium service and this happens.
 
you say 28th repair date, where is the FQ on the level 3 website, or where do they state that there is a fault on there cables? and im not talking about email correspondence
 
You wont get any information from their site, you can only get it if you can login through their portal and you have to be a client of theirs. They sent me email of this information as a good gesture to me as I was poking them for days with tracerts and asking them why such high latencies through their networks during 6pm to 12 pm weeknights, they are aware this failure is causing problems for us. iBurst is aware of this correspondence to them as well.

Level3 has asked me to stop contacting them directly and go through proper isp chains for further updates :(. Not my job to get poke international carriers for this information, its Vodacom and Saix job to do this and inform their isps and customers, which they fail completely at or they simply dont care, which I am not surprised. :mad:

i wouldnt call it a good gesture its there lame network that is causing all throughput to go to ****
 
I tried asking for an update today, but they asked me for customer id or something. I tried poking Telia if they were aware of this Level3 problems and I got same response back. I even made a post to Blizzard on Tech Forums, get the feeling they ignored it.

One thing does anyone have family or friend working for Saix who can give us some feedback?

Update :

My 626 account is running at 800ms, I phoned Telkom to do a line check, they said it was fine and they re did the ports.

I phoned Axxess and QQ'd over there. They told me that both IS and SAIX has been having issues. Should be resolved by Friday. If not I must phone them again.

That is where the problem starts, doesn't look like level3

Also IS do not route via level3, yet they have the same problem. Then after that I have people showing me traceroutes of Verizon (aka MTN Business now) and it looks completely different. I think you guys that are having problems should vote with your wallets and pay the ISP's giving the bw that is working.

There are two options I know about, posted in other threads as well.

1. Webafrica multi-realm unshaped (ie. you can use saix or verizon by changing your username with .v or .s at the end)
2. Vanilla (tell them you only want the verizon account, as they might try to sell you a IS account instead with whatever excuse, don't fall for it)

The way the multi-realm accounts work: (my preferred solution)

[email protected]ed.v = verizon
[email protected]ed.s = saix

So for now, the verizon one works better, some other day verizon might suck and then you can use the saix one again.

I have one guildy who got himself a verizon account after I suggested it, his disconnecting issues as well as latency issues completely dissapeared and he is raiding Ulduar 25man with the guild and doing WG on a server where there are a huge amount of players.

Now please stop moaning, and just vote with your money, ISPs will learn that way.
 
i had allot of lag tonight i had to leave the raid early was spiking up to 800ms anyone else
 
On iBurst (Vodacom/Saix) I got the same.

I too been having bad latency for the past week but it goes away after 22:00.
 
Thought I'd post it here also:

I also used my WebAfrica unshaped Verizon account during last night's 25 man Ulduar run.

Not a single disconnect. Didn't even use Gamemax with it, only the Verizon account was enough.

Between 285 - 350 latency the whole night. (and I only have a 384K unshaped ADSL line )

Thanks for the protip guys!
 
yup switched to my verison account last night stable around 400ms
