| 819676 | 2009-10-12 04:23:00 | So they connected me this afternoon. I did a few traceroutes / pings prior to switching, then two hours later on Telecom BigTime. Attached file: ping_tr_1.jpg (www.imagef1.net.nz) (12 KB) It's actually a .zip so rename it first. Make of it what you will, but I wanna call them tomorrow and give them some grief over *pings*! They should *not* be managed / throttled .. Initial pingtest results: www.pingtest.net www.pingtest.net Fail Telecom! Note: tcd = Telecom Daytime, I'll do some more at like 7AM tomorrow prior to when the traffic management is supposed to be kicking in... |

| 819677 | 2009-10-12 04:30:00 | Those pings aren't too bad to be honest for a traffic managed plan that is primarily subscribed by heavy P2P users. | somebody (208) | ||

| 819679 | 2009-10-12 05:46:00 | 68 ms is bad? Here I was thinking my 94 ms is OK!!!:eek: | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 819680 | 2009-10-12 06:05:00 | Im now getting 40ms to DotALAN (My VPN service) Previously was getting 18-20ms My boss just down the road on a normal Telecom Adventure plan was getting 9ms at the same time.. It's not bad *too* bad, but the packet loss is a worry |

| 819681 | 2009-10-12 08:21:00 | Well, did some gaming, solid as usual, though I've got some uber QoS at my end too.. no major spikes / packet loss on Warcraft III ports, same for the PPTP VPN port, so I'm happy for now! :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 819682 | 2009-10-12 17:44:00 | Figures, *zero* packet loss during the morning prior to "Traffic Management" kicking in ... www.dotalan.co.nz:85 Its quite easy to see where the packets are going missing. Might call Telecom today and see if they're able to improve things ;) Other than that, everythings fine, browsing still "feels" the same (Using OpenDNS), my QoS still works well (Though I had to drop its speed down just a tad). Note: All tests were done with QoS turned *off* at my end, and I kept a sharp eye on the realtime bandwidth graph to make sure nothing else was interfering. Edit: This mornings Pingtest results I forgot to include: www.pingtest.net www.pingtest.net |

| 819684 | 2009-10-13 01:08:00 | Why do you use OpenDNS? I use it because its more reliable IMO(and the web filtering pretty good too) |

| 819685 | 2009-10-13 02:18:00 | I use it because its more reliable IMO(and the web filtering pretty good too) But don't you then miss out on Telecom's high speed local cache? |
