So, decided to go take a drive and look at the antenna array on randpark ridge tower... I'm almost convinced it's been "tweaked" angle wise... probably due to the other new tower in the area ....

Too bad it's now essentially unusable for low latency services.

The call centre tells me to cut trees ... I have none in the way ... enough bitching .. guess they're just not going to get this problem right.

/action goes looking for his old ADSL application.

I will no longer recommend iBurst as a viable alternative, rather an option to use under duress.

JUST to clarify ... while I can still get good download speeds I am complaining about SEVERELY excessive latency (ping times etc).

This is a recent problem
 
Hi, was just goin to post a thread sort of opposite to this, I'm on the RandPark Ridge tower and had the opposite experience...This weekend I've had the best speeds on Counter Strike source since I got Iburst, was getting 60 ping all weekend on the SGS servers & I'm capped :D
 
lol

me wishes to have 60 ping, i connect to Northcliff tower and i get 77ms on a good day but other times it is like 90-110ms. getting my ext antenna
 
Anyone having a slow time on the Randpark Ridge Tower right now, pings are about 130ms and d/l speeds are about 256kb/s
 
earlier was getting between 90-120 ping on CS source, can't really tell download speed...
