Goodbye iBurst

[DavidKinnes]

Telkom installed my WiMAX connection yesterday and thank goodness! Celebrated by playing a number of lag free online games!

Good bye iBurst, good bye shocking billing system, good bye no support, good bye stupid shaping policy!

Feel better already!

What sort of latency are you getting? Are you a WoW player?

 

[DavidKinnes]

No not a wow player don't have that sort of time. Warcraft III and BF2142 getting ping of ~50.

 

[Fudzy]

50ms?!? I didn't think fixed line was that good.

 

[DavidKinnes]

When i had 4Mbps ADSL it was often around 20-30ms.

 

[Fudzy]

Why did you swap?

 

[Ekhaatvensters]

I'm assuming theres no ADSL in that area of diepriver/southfield?

 

[milomak]

this is on local servers right?

 

[DavidKinnes]

I had ADSL before i moved a year ago. Then the only thing I could get was iBurst now WiMAX is available.

That is a local ping using a SAIX based account, since you go through the ATM network like ADSL you can choose either IS, SAIX or Verizon to provide your bandwidth out of the ATM network and international.
