Hey peeps,
Im in LE2 ... not quite the same but close
My connection is really really bad aswell. No problems getting an ip etc, but DNS seems to be dog slow at the moment.
But the worst bit is me ping..... Its tragic. Cant play q3 and I hate it
Peak times (which seems to be 6pm-12pm these days) its pretty much useless.
Weekends are mildly better but still get pings anywhere between 30-500 over any given period.
My fear is that the problem is totally linked to when Uni begins. The students sign up and go online in large numbers, but I dont think NTLs current network is anywhere near good enough to deal with the "extra" traffic.
I hate to say it, but I dont think we'll see a stable peak time connection at realistic cable pings until Xmas. (.... only to go cruddy again in mid/late Jan and stay like that until Easter.)
Im really hoping that Im proved horribly wrong but im doubtful
Bah.... im so pessimisic
Anyhoo...hope it clears up.
If mine continues Im going to start another thread .... More mentions of Leicesters problems the better I recon.
GOod luck
