I am getting lag in Battlefield 3 and it is very frustrating. Could it be my connection? I sometimes see my ping to European servers spike to almost 400ms, while it is usually around 200ms. Line speed is fine.

Connection or something wrong with Battlefield 3? I am on 4Mbps Gamers King, routed through MTN backbone. GPU and CPU more than sufficient.

Which servers are these?
I'm on 10Mbs Gamers King and get 180ms to German servers and 300ms to one in Ohio.
 
German and British ones. Lowest it gets is low 190s, but I am in the Free State.

PM sent, thanks MrBeep!
 
Something also seriously wrong my side , local browsing is fine (like myadsl) , but I cant open facebook , can't sign into PSN network , can't do a speed test . If I switch to my Mweb account all is back to normal .
 
Kindly email [email protected] so that we can investigate

I had a 10Mbit ADSL account for two weeks and got rate limited. Unfortunately this service is not truly uncapped so it won't work for me. Pitty.

I think it's just the usual shaping. I notice sites are gradually loading faster since 4pm.
 
We do not 'rate limit' accounts. We shape based on how busy the network is and your contention ratio at any given time.

What's the difference between Uncapped Gold Orange and the other Gold Uncapped account?
 
Google shaped? Got into gmail after 2mins, clicking mail just stay on the inbox page. After launching back-up account I can open the mails. Looks like everything will change after 18:30 when the network unshapes.

@MrBeep:

Thanks for your efforts! Battlefield 3 seems to be sorted now.

Still had the same problem with the test account. I had set up my modem and router in bridged mode and reverting that to the original setup seems to have fixed it, either that, or whatever was going on coincidentally fixed itself at the same time I reverted.

In any case, thanks very much!

My SNR Margins are not brilliant though. Could that cause a problem?
