Lag and Disconnects

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: JFman00

In online multiplayer games such as Shattered Galaxy and Warcraft 3, I occassionally suffer severe lag that results in disconnect's and out of sync's. Until that time the game will be running perfectly fine. Also when that happens the connection to the server (in the case of WC3, battle.net) is not lost, and the connection (dsl) is not dropped. Traceroutes to the servers have normal times (65 ms max to singaporean SG server). THis problem only started occuring recently and a system restore did not alleviate the problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

ISP?

Maybe they are having some troubles, but that wouldn't explain the normal tracerout times....
I suggest calling them and saying "omgwtfbbq" a few times. Of course in a more understandable and polite way...

Your ISP is proberbly to blame, with poor speeds on the specific ports your games use. That could potentially be the problem, but I would ask first.

Thank you for your replies. I did get in touch with SBC Yahoo! and they were no help. However, 2 days ago the problem went away on its own. Surely the fault of a terrible ISP.
