Tilt,

The best is to use something like ping plotter or use tracert and pathping from the OS... this will give you and the ISP a better idea of what is going on...


Cheers

I thought the "variance in delay" was a result of the CPU load and how it processes the inbound info from the servers. Could have sworn I read that somewhere in the "help and support" section.  :huh

Mine ( variance in delay graph) bounces around like a rubber ball for a minute or so after I first log on and then flattens out with the very occasional spike here and there.  :joystick:

Spikes in Variance are normally an indicator something is taking the CPU away from running the game.  Th8is could be anything from a background process to network requests (extended, DoS...) or anything else that would require the CPU to respond.

The host queue bouncing between 0 and 10ms is normal.  That is the clock resolution for the server.

Eeek! If it is packet loss or internet related, good luck dealing with your ISP about it. Everytime i've had to deal with my ISP about that kinda stuff I can never talk to anyone who isnt just reading from a script. And if I get lucky and get someone who remotely knows what they are talking about, I get the typical "its not on our side, its your fault" response.

The best I usually get is some discussion re interleaving................

If it was previously on the advise to have it switched off....if it was previously off they advise to have it switched on  :headscratch:

Thanks for the answers Skuzzy.

On my sons line he had lots of trouble with BT with packet loss. They took line interleaving off & there was a vast improvement.  :aok

Sounds as though you have been dealing with AT&T. :mad:
