Web Intact (Or intactless service)

FEAR COMBAT uses port 27888, don't know it's TCP or UDP
tried TDM 196.4.79.8 server just now, ingame 400-500 ms ping
tried ping mweb.co.za, telkom.co.za, ping around 130 to 140 average

Logon to my router, checked signal, looks normal. What else Can I check? I connect to North Cliff 2 tower.
 
Thank you very much!

The patch downloader thing is fine you can download them off the net normally anyway!

EDIT: I checked fear and its both TCP and UDP

Ok - I misread your post. I see INGAME ping is 400-500. OK, that sounds like it could be right, as your game is still going through the low priority route right now mixed with all the P2P.

The other pings I don't get, as from Northcliff I have:
Code: 
[admin@JHB - Northcliff] > ping www.telkom.co.za
198.54.202.4 64 byte ping: ttl=246 time=72 ms
198.54.202.4 64 byte ping: ttl=246 time=48 ms
198.54.202.4 64 byte ping: ttl=246 time=70 ms
198.54.202.4 64 byte ping: ttl=246 time=65 ms
198.54.202.4 64 byte ping: ttl=246 time=110 m
.
..
...
183 packets transmitted, 182 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 33/71.2/275 ms

And I tested your connection now and it averages around 30ms when idle...
5/34.6/141 ms

:confused:

AND it's peak time right now...

Actually - looking at it, it seems about right - you should be getting about 100ms to telkom.co.za (70 + 30) or better... ping to the tower (tracert for the correct IP) and test your latency there.

It's north cliff TWO, not north cliff, I mention this the third time now.

No - you are connected to SSID northcliff TWO

My pings are from the router, not the antenna! There is no such thing as the 'Northcliff2 tower'. There is only one northcliff tower with two SSID's

4 pings are not much good to man nor beast - kindly run a continuous ping of +/- 200 pings and record your results.

well there's no QOS on these accounts are there?

and when billy bob and elias from down the road also start hammering the tower with their connections then your packets get qued behind theirs don't they?

everyone shares the pool?
 
I heard there is QOS.....never experience something like this before, only after the sunday upgrade......
 
well queuing kind of implies QoS, but you are essentially right... It's more of a limitation of 802.11b that performance will degrade on a sector heavily loaded with active users. Physically there is a maximum of about 5Mbps of data per sector available, and typically we run ours at no more than around 500kbps-1Mbps of continuous traffic. A busy sector will kind of round-robin between users passing data.

If you're experiencing varying ping times [edit] to the tower [/edit], then the sector is probably quite busy.
If you are experiencing packet loss, then it's most likely due to a weak signal or interference.

[edit]
our monitoring systems show the average
on busy sectors to be more like 400kbps

So would I have to stuck with this horrible ping to FEAR COMBAT Saix server forever or it could be routed to verizon
 
eish - exercise a little patience, brother!

As I said a few posts back:

We need to start gathering details of these game connections to do something about it, and you can help by emailing them to [email protected].
Please try and be constructive and include as much info as you can (ports, protocol etc). If this doesn't clash with any of our new routing policies, I don't see a problem with re-routing the traffic.

It will be done - no need for panic here now.... :cool:
 
Considering IS ADSL average of 800ms to google.com, it's a gift!

keep yr requests coming.... remember this only applies to GP/NW at this stage...
 
Router

Hi Guys,

I need some help, i did route my connection to my notebook, the router came with a standard antenna but i upgraded it to a 6di omni.

My signal is ok up untill 15 meters but as soon as i move to my living area it drops heavy.

how can i boost the output signal of the router or must i buy a bigger antenna if so where do i get one at a reasonable price.

rather move you router to a more central spot - maybe even mount it in your ceiling...

Mmmm....

Wont it just be better to get an bigger omni lets say like a 11dbi or something. The routers security is quite good so there is little chance that some one might try and attemp to to join by them self

Its a 2 way thing. And you're not upgrading your laptop's antenna. So thats probably the weakest point.
Moving the Router/AP would be the easiest and most effective way.
