Hi there.

Recently, my internet has been going up the shit. Instead of getting a normal 260-300ping on any renegade server; my ping now fluctuates between 263-700+.

Net stats:
1.http://www.speedtest.net/result/866573086.png2.http://www.speedtest.net/result/866573831.png
3.http://www.speedtest.net/result/866574615.png4.http://www.speedtest.net/result/866575854.png6. http://www.speedtest.net/result/867415014.png

5.http://www.speedtest.net/result/866577387.png

As you can see, the speeds vary all the time O_o. Test 5 is where it should be at.




Heres a ping result to jelly-server.com:

And a tracert to jelly-server.com

I can't think of any other information to provide. My ill educated guess would be to say that as D/L Rates decrease or vary, so to does the ping. The question is, why? And how do I go about fixing the problem? This occurs when I am the only person using the net; and no one is one the phone.

Any help appreciated, as I'd like to play ren without having to deal with 600 ping.

Edit: Not that I'm sure of the packet size that I usually send, but anything over 1000 get's a result like this. (100% packet loss, fark)

Contact your ISP. Such an indecent ping on speedtests will be taken seriously by them.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Check your modem and router for heat, stand them up on their side if possible and make sure they're clear of other things.

I had a similar problem, the ISP couldn't work it out, but it was heat related. My router and modem were both overheating.

How old is your modem / gateway? When my old one started acting up it was about 10 years old and when we contacted the ISP about it they said the life expectancy for them is about 4-5 years and sent a new one out in the post the next day for free. Arrived a few days later, plugged it in and all the problems were gone.

My DGN200 Netgear router is only 6 months old if that. I will try clearing it of other things and standing it on it's side. If this doesn't work, contacting ISP is the next step? Does this sound like a problem on my side, or theirs?

It is a Router/Modem. I'm only 3-4 meters away from it. My room and the Modem/Router is near the kitchen. I realise appliances can interfere with the wireless signal, but again; ping fluctuates without microwaves / blenders going.

Do you have another machine to test the connection with? It could be something on your machine which is using the connection and therefore slowing down the speed tests your doing, or it could just as easily be a problem with the line.

It doesn't hurt to contact your ISP and ask them to run some tests on the line to see if they can detect any problems on their end.

If you're 3-4 metres away from the router i would highly recommend getting an Ethernet cable to link up your computer to your router, unless there's a specific reason you're going wireless?

Because stringing an ethernet cable from my room, across the walkway along the floor, next to the cat's bowl just wouldn't work; it'd piss alot of people off.

Cheers to DP and others for the help. I'll give my ISP a call.
