Hi,

I've recently been getting some annoying latency spikes. At first, I thought it was just the game I was playing, but then I did a few tracerts on both local and international sites. The result was the same for both. Here are a few of the tracerts I ran on myadsl.co.za :

I'm using a 192 ADSL connection, with Imaginet as my ISP(unshaped). I made sure there was nothing running while I tested this. I also made sure there was no spyware on my PC.

So, what I need to know now is, where do I start looking to find out what the problem is?

Any help would be appreciated, because this is really starting to bug me.

Thanks
 
phone Telkom and log a fault.. it's their problem, not an ISP problem..

0800 DSL DSL.

cheers :)
 
You pinging the hetzner box during office hours? That will happen, saix to uunet is congested during office hours and guess what? SAIX issue not uunet, same issues between saix and IS tho IS and UUNET purring along perfectly 24/7
 
Huh? I'm not too sure what you're talking about, Clipse :confused:
I can ping any site, at any time of the day/night and the results will be the same. Random spikes.

Guess I'll just get my line checked out...
 
i think Clipse is saying that myadsl.co.za is hosted by Hetzner which is congested during office hours etc.

good luck sveed! :)
