How is the Main Arena connection for you?
« Reply #225 on: March 09, 2006, 12:57:40 PM »
Almost unplayable during the day due to packet loss; at night, lots of UDP/TCP switching, occasional disco, lots of lag.



And, an hour and a half later...

Skuzzy/HT fow what it's worth, I originally posted on page 3 that my old PingPlotter was 44ms and my new was 56ms (a whole 11ms difference :P).  I just did a similar 5 minute test to each site; the old one still sits at 44ms but the new one has dropped to 46ms.  

I read the new ISP was working on things so I thought you might want new information.

Have not noticed any change in-game but then again have not played much.

I guess it's moot, I heard you were changing back to the former ISP?

My experience is that the GV frame rate stinks - flying frame rate is good as before.

I typically run near the max refresh of 75 and more like 50 in GVs....GV's has been down to 20 ish at times...flying stays high enough not to notice.

No discoes for me, but some squaddies suffering.

One squaddie can't play - frame rates are so bad.  Had no prior issues.

Forgotten, but back in the game.  :)

The old location is better for me.  I'm located in Southern California.  My broad-band connection speeds are:

Sure liked the old server better. I know you want to give them a chance to try to fix the new one, but this is not any fun.  :(
