Guild Wars so Laggy

[fishfly]

Hi

I have a question to people with Iburst playing GW

are any of you expriencing interrupted (laggy) gameplay as of late?

could this be attributed to the contention between two towers?

I am currently in Hyde Park so you could say between Hyde Park and Illovo and sandton towers with rosebank not too far away...
Could this cause the connection to be laggy/broken due to continous switching between the towers?

I've been experinencing this problem ever since the tower in Hyde Park went up.

Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks

I had the same problem.

I had a strong, stable connection to Randburg before the Illovo and Hyde Park towers went live. Rather than improving matters, the new towers caused my connection to deteriorate.

Using utTracestar I could see that my connection was alternating between Randburg, Hyde Park and Illovo which all had similar, but unstable signal strengths (about -75db) The connected tower was changing on almost every scan depending on which signal was the strongest at each point. But peppered between these I kept connecting to ghost towers, and also distant towers likes Edendale and Northcliff. At these points, I would get no connectivity at all. I was also getting frequent disconnects.

I only solved the problem by using a directional external antenna that focused on Hyde Park. Now the connection is strong and stable again at about -68db. I can still see Randburg at -73db. Illovo and most other BS's have disappeared from the scan.

hmmm after moving the modem around I seemed to have found a spot that stabalized my connection...

I'll post some details when I have iconnect installed
