Hey,
i know i've asked this question before but i was just wonder coz it happened again last night :D Well its more a statement than a question. I was happily browsing the net when my internet service died although the net worked and on performing a tracert in dos i cud trace to the first four hops before the rest time out, but i couldnt play any games or access irc etc.. I did the usual and simply rebooted the cable modem. On booting up i found out that dos ping times decreased slightly but all the more better (as an avid gamer better ping = :tu:.. yes even those few measly ms :D ). for example to k-play.de was pinging at 27ms ... stormix.de 32 ms lovely! However sadly, the eurphoria only lasted a few minutes later when they turned to their ping times. No crash or anything. (The pings went back to normal 45ms in dos to stormix.de and 37 in dos to k-play.de) Although it doesnt really affect gaming much im just curious why it does happen if anyones had any experience of it happening i'd like to know if its a problem at ntl or whatever. It happens like once a month or so. My internet randomly dies boots back up and i get amazingly decent pings for a few minutes then it goes back to normal.
