You'll probably see an improvement.



By its very nature cable is more prone to latency issues than properly configured xDSL.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Indeed, the underlying tech is more prone to it but it's all in the implementation. Depending on area, line quality, and the so forth, even on a high jitter VM line you could end up with lower average latency than even the minimum latency on a colocated FTTC connection if you're unlucky enough to get a crappy routing path and forced interleaving on your line that you cannot turn off.

It probably depends on what kind of games you play and the times at which you do it, if you play a lot of driving games like Forza, then you might not notice too much difference but if you play FPS games like call of duty, you could well notice a benefit, there's no guarantees but it certainly looks like your part of VMs network is suffering under the strain.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Some driving games might be extra sensitive, as they lack lag compensation. MMOs I find to be the least lag or jitter sensitive IMO, especially as they tend to have 500ms+ server lag built-in anyway.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Yeah - but whatever is afflicting Martin isn't the same fault affecting Blair. At least not judging by the evidence here.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

VM's core network seems to be in a bit of a state of flux over the past weeks.

Wonder if new hardware or a new JunOS release have caused some problems?

There are 25 'servers' in Uddingston, and you and Martin could connect to any one of 7 of them. Each of those 7 can serve 10s of thousands of customers in hundreds of separate groups.

Unless you guys are within a couple of streets of each other you aren't sharing the same things throughout, and your issue seems pretty local.

Ouch, that reminds me of a game called Lemmings from the 80s or even Scramble!
