VisualRoute trace to 80.239.149.15

This trace was started on 05 Jul 2009 2:54:53 PM.
The host '80.239.149.15' (known as 80-239-149-15.customer.teliacarrier.com) has been found, and is reachable in 16 hops. In general this route is reasonably quick, with hops responding on average within 175ms. However, all hops after hop 7 in network 'London Telehouse North CSL2' respond particularly slowly. This slow speed could perhaps be accounted for by the fact that the remote network is located far away. The DNS lookup was completed almost instantaneously (less than 2ms - this may be the result of caching).

OK

To get a better picture I insist that you guys who are experiencing issues give me a call in the morning.

Thanks
 
One week without raiding and no resolution in sight.
 
Hi there

The problem exists with an upstream carrier which is past our upstream provider.

Looks like a problem between Durban and Johannesburg. My MTNBusiness is still fine here in Johannesburg to WoW europe.
 
Hi there

I have asked networks to make contact and see if there is a issue.

MS in game at the time was 2.1k :(


Huge lag spikes, some are very odd and dont hang for over 1min and then eventually dc (which is odd as normal lag spikes dc after 10secs max).
Other spikes last for 10-20secs then speed threw to the point where I have eventually died. Making the game very unplayable and unpridictable. That said went to go stay with some family on a farm with an asdl line and I was able to do 25man raids with 600+- ms but no lag no spikes and no dc's.
Dont know about anyone else but quite disapointed that living in one of south africa's biggest cities with a wonderfull piece of wireless tech, compared to a farm with asdl, I would hope the big city new tech would win hands down, but no, sad to say, not having the best experiance with iburst at the moment :(

Should I keep posting here?

Why do you ask?

Please let me know what you are experiencing.

Thanks
 
Today i want to throw i busrt out of my 16th floor window!!!!!!
Bit of bad weather I think and now everything hangs and disconects, ofcurse it could be the tower here in durban central, but have been in the middle of a naxx 10 man raid on world of warcaft and cleared 3 wings without issue and now .......I hate this, as soon as I move out of durban the better gonna get a fixed line and deal with that ball of wax rather than this one.

Is there anything going on with the isp I should know about, or is weather something that effects cricket and iburst?
 
been getting Disconnected and trying to reconnect.

Been getting connected sometimes, staying connected for 5-30secs, hanging then having to manually click disconect and try reconect again.

Otherwise getting messages that the connection was terminated because the remote computerdid not respond in a timely manner.

And then other times getting password and username not valid on this server.

Made it a really crap week for me in total, got burgaled, camera and latop stolen amoung otherthings and now cant even make the most of my weekend alone time. Well my opinion of iburst just droped down another notch on my ladder.

Waiting on response now :(
 
worked fine for a while but start again same issue same "insert what ever word you choose" and really getting upset :(
 
along with stuff that got stolen was my phone charger, so no got left in the lurch till tomorrow as far as a phone goes :(
Its also a weekend so if he doesnt read this im not gonna bother him till its a work day, although Im "insert derogative word for upset in here" I am still a nice person, who believes systems will work, how ever nieve that may seem. :)
