Rambaldi: Tonight, Sunday, I've spent the entire evening connected to Ventrilo without a single disconnect or the slightest bit of lag. Haven't been able to be on Ventrilo from 4/5pm until around midnight/1am for the last 3 weeks, so some decent progress. Still gotta keep an eye on it over the next few days to see if it really is fixed, or just a one time fluke of working for one night only. 

However World of Warcraft is still disconnecting so ... still some problems. I'll give Orcon a few more days before switching ISP's, seeing as how they might of fixed half my problems. But really need WoW fixed too.

This was the first weekend in 2 months that we have been able to play WOW with no disconnects and continous red latency bar.

For us the problem appears to be fixed.  But yeah, is it by fluke?  But the speedtest results show another story.

National speed has improved alot, but the International speed is worse than what it was in the midst of all the problems.

We did have some latecny spikes where the bar would go olive then red - but it was momentarily - as it went back to green after a while.  But we were not disconnected from the game.

We do play WoW on private servers, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it - as I have heard that Real WoW is quite laggy in it's self.  But our private server is the most popular one and has a good population of people on it (but not as many as real WoW though)

National


International (where our game server is)
  BEST International

Rambaldi:
It was quite weird for me to be honest, although I was connected and not lagging on vent, in WoW everything would be perfectly fine, then bam disconnected, I wouldn't lag at all, just instant disconnects. Obviously I reconnected straight away, and once back in game, things could either be fine for 10 minutes, or disconnect again within a minute, but while I was reconnected it wasn't laggy. It's like the internet for a split second couldn't "see" (for lack of a better term) the WoW server. This only really seemed to happen between 10pm and 11pm.

trakman: Duncan, did the bandwidth upgrade go smoothly? is Thomas still overseas?
