Title: Internet all screwy
Post by: NikonGuy on July 16, 2013, 03:20:53 AM
Hi all

The last three days my connection has been horrible.  Many disco's and checking my ping today I am getting consistent 1000ms spikes.  I live in Australia but typically get a rock steady 250 and have done for years.

I did a trace route which showed an average of 237ms to the Late War Arena IP.

How can I check where the problem is?

Did a trace back to you and it did not look too bad.  However, there was a slight issue at the Telstra gateway to the U.S.  I am getting around 250ms, pretty steady on the trace.  Should be around 190ms, so the issue at the gateway may be a contributing factor.

Not seeing any real spikes though.

It's the "Coriolis Effect".

Your data stream swirls counter clockwise!

Just out of curiosity, what tool do you use to do your traces?
