Has any other Eve Online player in SA experienced any problems in the last 2 days with frequent disconnections (Socket Disconnect) errors to Eve Online when working through Telkom's access? :mad:

The game has been virtually unplayable for the last two days and I have finally switched to a Verizon account - problem is now gone.
 
A corp mate had the same issue. He was on a Telkom saix account and has switched to an Axxess one and the problem was gone.
 
HI i have been playing eve online for a 10 days now the problem started on the 12 OCT before this it was fine. I know that on this day one of the servers went down and they were fixing it. All i know is that from Monday the game has been unplayable. I have heard that the axxess account dose not always fix the problem. I have also reported the problem to eve online and they say it our ISP fault and we need to get them to fix it. I don't understand why this is happening. Its only eve online that has this issue all the other games work fine. Surly there is some thing they could do on there side ?
 
Hi.

I'm having game lockup issues in Lord of the Rings Online; I wonder if it's related to this. Issues started on the 11th of October for me and have persisted to now, and the game techs for CodeMasters reckon it's an ISP connectivity issue. It's not server lag - basically the game world proceeds just find, just my character cannot move; and tonight monsters in the game world were attacking me at a point where I'd been 5s earlier.

anyone got any more info? Has telkom maybe put in new traffic shaping rules for MMO traffic or something? That would really suck.
 
I have the exact same problem only with Perfect World International and not EVE online. It also started since Monday last week. If Telkom takes a week to fix a problem like this ,I can't wait to see what is going to happen when FIFA is here xD
 
I tested with an unshaped Telkom account. I was either unable to log on, had huge latency or couldn't stay online for more than a few minutes. Connected with a shaped afrihost account, no issues. Wierd...
 
I wonder if any SAIX employees are cursing their MMOs at the moment :P
 
yip im also having this problem, cant stay connected to eve for more then 5mins before i get kicked...

Any1 found a solution to this yet or when telkom will pull finger?
 
solution appears to be to use a DSL account that uses the IS backbone. Which I'll do as soon as I can get my axxess account to connect :(
 
wow is also giving latency issues. I am 100% sure this has to do with the SAT3 upgrade, as directly after the upgrade my latency dropped by 33%, but since two days after that was followed by annoying spikes and jitters
 
I have the same problem as just about everyone here. The Axxess account also solves this problem for me.

What's interesting is that it's VERY consistent. As the pingplot below shows, it's 100% packet loss every 3.5 minutes for about 40seconds.

Trying to get Telkom to fix it now ><
