257547 2004-08-02 07:46:00 Where is my bottleneck?

I have experienced a sudden slow-down in gaming connection . It happened the other day after Telecom's snafu which has since been resolved . . . . apparently .

Telecom email: " I can confirm we had a routing issue last week which may have caused some issues, but this was resolved last Friday and we have experienced no issues since then . "

My 256k browsing and downloading connection seems ok, but gaming pings have gone from a steady 40-50 to a widely variable 70-200 . I am with Orcon, who said they can't find the problem . Telecom inferred it's an Orcon prob . I then signed up with Xtra yesterday (there goes $27 . 95, but I am gonna play the I'm not satisfied card if I can't get it resolved) to see whether it was any different, and nope, it's not . There is NO difference in pings when using the JSG Realm .

Screenshot ( . neoburn . net/imagef1/files/ase . jpg" target="_blank">sal . neoburn . net)of All Seeing Eye for BF1942 shows high pings . ASE generally reports higher than what I get in the game, but usually they show in the 60's .

Tracerts to various IP addys reveal that I am getting about 70 - 80 ping to NZ and 200-300 to overseas, with lots of timeouts . Telecom checked my line and it was ok .

Can anyone else give me indication of their pings using tracert etc? I need comparisons and ideas of places to ping to for testing .

Cheers
