Poor ping since yesterday
Hi there. I do a lot of online gaming. Yesterday however my pings have went to the dogs. Here is a tracert

As you can see hop 4 is where it starts being a problem. Is anyone else having the same problem as me at the moment?

Re: Poor ping since yesterday
i think you'll find that suggests an issue with the Pipex/Jolt servers, not Sky...

Re: Poor ping since yesterday
This is where it starts going wrong easynet not pipex
4 229 ms 229 ms 229 ms be2.er10.thlon.ov.easynet.net [195.66.224.43]
Even my wow ping are sitting at 500odd ms where as before they where sitting at 50-70
Also my speedtest.net results show a higher ping too (normally about 100ms). http://www.speedtest.net/result/228688101.pngLast edited by doom; 31-01-08 at 11:07 AM.

Re: Poor ping since yesterday
Wow, same here mate. I'm on the kincorth exchange in aberdeen. Since yesterday, my download rate has halved, my upload went from 750 to 180, and pinging bbc.co.uk and google.co.uk has gone from 50-60 to 250+. Phoned sky yesterday about it which was a complete waste of time. Interesting that you have the same probs and are from the silver city as well.
Let me know if you find out anything.

Re: Poor ping since yesterday
sorry, didnt see that was easynet first...
there is a deliberate slow down once it gets to the OV network but cant see why it would jump so high...might just be a routing problem
and yeah, calling Sky will get you nowhere as gaming doesnt have an provisions to get it working again (even the max delay thing is unofficial)-------------------------------------------

Re: Poor ping since yesterday
I live in union grove ABERDEEN and my ping is between 200 and 400 ping, this has been like this for the past 2 days now, must be something wrong with the exchange.
I have spoke to bt and they said that SKY have to report this to bt wholesale if there is a problem with it but speaking to sky broadband support is a complete waste of time as there system is never working
My problem also starts on hop 4.
