| 820820 | 2009-10-15 04:44:00 | Hi there, I am on telecom Adventure 20GB which is not capped and optimised for ADSL2+. I don't think my area is ADSL2+ but anyway I get these results on speedtest.net www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net) www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net) www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net) and here is two tests from pingtest.net www.pingtest.net (http://www.pingtest.net) www.pingtest.net (http://www.pingtest.net) Should my ping be lower than 80 in games? I live north of dunedin Any help is appreciated, Thanks |

| 820821 | 2009-10-15 04:53:00 | It's good. The lower the ping the better. Anything under 150 is playable in CS/whatever FPS. If you play WOW, you could still play properly into the 500s. Edit: You're on adsl2. Your connection is about as fast as it will realistically get. |

| 820822 | 2009-10-27 06:48:00 | Okay thanks but now I feel something is still not right. Before i posted the OP my ping was around 70-80 and then it jumped to around 80-90 and now I load up CSS and all the servers which I was playing before at around 70 ping are all at 120-130. I find it frustrating as this means it is almost unplayable on Australian servers. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? Thanks |

| 820824 | 2009-10-28 03:51:00 | D-Link DSL-G604T. It has dropped back to 70 now im thinking maybe there was just a minor problem on the phone line that has fixed itself |

| 820826 | 2009-10-28 06:31:00 | How do you know he's on ADSL2+? A few things come to mind: 1) Whats your ping to trademe.co.nz 2) Whats your ping to nzherald.co.nz 3) Download WinMTR and run a Traceroute on both sites, post back the results. When I play Warcraft III, I don't play with anybody over 100ms ping... Long story short, your connection looks like a typical ADSL1 connection, overloaded at the exchange level. Bear in mind that just because your plan is advertised as "optimized for ADSL2+" doesn't mean you're actually sync'ing with the exchange over ADSL2+. Hope this helps Chill. |
