ok after 5 days i finally have a 5mb connection and have spoken to TIER 3 , yes i hear you all gasp in astonishment that someone has spoken to them.

ok it took me 40 mins telling a Phillipine call centre that ive tried everything and my extension cable aint the problem. I threatened to quit and they put me through to TIER 3

I said major problem was ping and the agent said no problem and went to the exchange and tweaked and put my speed up from 4.5 to 5 and reduced something from 32 to 8 which is correct for optimal gaming

anyone got an idea what that was

whatever it was my ping to a uk server dropped from 70 - 23 and foriegn servers from 115 to 60 so finally got a broadband system that i can use.

HOWEVER IM SENDING THEM MY PHONE BILL FOR 5 DAYS ON 08702 NUMBERS!!

the settings the agent has changed is the max delay in milliseconds on the interleave settings each way. Thus reducing the ping while retaining interleaving.

only bc no 1 could understand wot ping ment and fastpath oh how i would stay if they could do the same 4 me and lower my ping!!!!!

id still get rid of the extention - regardless of how good you think it is - and you may find they drop more!!
