Disco, Level3...
« on: March 16, 2019, 03:10:31 PM »
I know, there's nothing one can do.

A squaddie said my voice was a little garbled so I rebooted both my computer and my modem. Got back, voice was fine for a minute until I got that dreaded "switch to TCP" message and discoed. Got back in time to continue my flight, discoed again.

It seemed to take unusually long for the modem to get online so I called my ISP. During the waiting time I finally got online and ran Ping Plotter for the game servers, showing red for most of the hops. And guess what: It was fine until hop3 which belongs to Level3 as did the next four or five hops. The ISP tech checked and told my line is as good as can be for an ADSL.

I just wonder what crowded the Level3 lines so badly just half an hour ago. A new series on Netflix? News about Brexit? Something alarming in the US? The downdetector outage map for Level3 looks quite bad on the US East Coast...

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.
