Thread: My connection struggles HARD whn I play at TTP...

with my ping CONSISTENTLY between 150 and 200 to both TF2 servers, I'm completely stumped.

What do you say to your Cable Company when you can DL files from Japan at 700kb/second but I ping 200 to Texas?

They promise bandwidth, not latency - right?

What is the secret to dealing with cable providers to get them to recognize high ping as poor quality service?

What is the problem?

Why the FUCK do I ping 50-60 to the match server and 200 to the regular servers? What's going on?

Where do you live?

It hasn't always been like this, and like I said - I can play perfectly on the Match server.

for S&G here's a tracert.

because this shouldnt be a problem...it hasn't always BEEN an issue. how is it that one set of servers can he shyte ping and the other can be good?

Call Tech Support, mention the tracert and what it shows, and BITCH! It works, at least it's worked for me the multiple times my route has gotten fucked up.

Looks like Level3 is fucking you royally as well, but you're still having local problems. Go look in the tracert thread, and follow Braddocs instructions on doing a Ping to see if you can determine the origin of the problem.
