*READ FIRST* iBurst Network Status & Issues (DNS, Throughput and Latency)

I noticed that, my Wimax connection died during the storm but my iBurst was still going strong :P
 
Im having problems with my online gaming especially World of warcraft. At random times when the game uses more bandwidth I get huge latency, it jumps from 600ms to 19000ms latency. I have heard that wow uses a new tipe of data that can be sometimes picked up as torrent traffic through the servers and then shapped. Can someone please look into this for me?
 
tp3to Apparently IBurst is changing upstream provider sometime in the near future and this should resolve or better us poor wow addicts position. Keep your eyes open for any news :)

Alas, too late for me.
 
A m8 told me this when I logged in last night on WoW I have been unable to play WoW on IBurst for the last 2 months so Im hoping for some resolution otherwise will have to jump ship which makes me slightly sad.
 
jip same. my contract ending in Desember.

But the stange thing is, is that my friend that uses openweb has the same problem. Maybe something with seacom?

Also known as "bottleneck", when lagging starts at international level, that's what happens in my case.

Of course. But then how the weather didn't cause any issues with my brand new Cell C 3G connection? It was only affecting my iBurst. Guess the technology used by iBurst then is the problem, not the weather.
 
ok seems like I found the problem with the huge latency.

my tracert to the server I play on routed me through Washington, Im not the only person who get this as many other people using iburst also is getting routed through Washington and causes wow to be unplayable.

My tracert to eu.battle.net (wow's website) showed this.

So this leads me to believe that all battle.net games gets routed through Washington, why iburst why??

This means that the traffic has got to go to usa and then to europe and back. wth?:mad:
 
I have proof!!

all of them are not getting routed through Washington.
 
I believe its their upstream Vodacom Business who go through US to Europe.

Not playing games. Just testing it at the moment. With very weak Cell C signal at my place (I'm on the edge of the coverage area) I get stable 1.5Mbps and pings at about 53ms. And the weather doesn't seem to affect it.

The weather affects the microwave backhaul links and not the iBurst signal. Each tower has a redunadant microwave so weather may cause an intermittent issue depending how the storm is moving and its strength.

And the 3G towers don't use microwave backhaul links?

Well, that is already better than what I get with Iburst, when it is working. Where do you stay?
