Iammoot Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 As some of you may be aware, I missed raid on Wednesday because my internet cut out completely in my area. I didn't have internet again until yesterday. Ever since then, my speeds have been worse than abysmal to the point where my ping is spiking with a base of ~500 ms. I won't be attending raid again for my own sanity's sake until this issue is resolved. There's supposedly some sort of fix in the works but I don't know if and/or when it will ever take place. Either way, it's both frustrating to me and crippling to the raid group to attempt to play in such a situation. Hopefully this will all get fixed soon.
Lyntha Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Moot, you're a nice guy but you gotta call them and just start bitching up a storm till they fix it. It's unacceptable for your internet to be unusable. Are there ANY other options for internet in your area? I ask to see if you have any leverage for them.
Mastric Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I just checked Moot's modem and all I see is a lot of Torrent Traffic jacking up his ping. That is a lot of pony porn O.o

Lyntha Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Maybe your one new roommate doesn't know how to cap his bittorrent speeds? If he doesn't cap his upload, you'll get awful packet loss and ping.
Iammoot Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 1.) He doesn't torrent 2.) One of my roommates isn't even living in the apartment as he is working at a startup for a few months. 3.) I got a verification from a technician that the problem is that the node I am on is simply overloaded. Apparently there is a fix in the works. The earliest possible projection date for the fix was yesterday so who knows if this will ever get fixed.
