Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing latency issues? Last 2 nights have had problems (on GW5). Started around 7.30pm this evening and is still continuing now. Only aware of it as we are World of Warcraft players.... sad I know ;) Anyone else having issues?
Yes.....again......always in the evening, routing sucking ass somewhere.
Am also experiencing latency problems - certainly peaking tonight.
Has also been occuring during the day as well (I work from home) but have been blaming recent Firefox releases.
Any news - any activity causing this?
Thanks
2 more of us have been experiencing sudden high latency on WoW for the passed 30 minutes, its slowly getting back to normal now (tho ive been kicked from the hardmode Hodir tries /cry! :) but the conection seems far from happy. Seems slugglish and spiking a bit, tho vent doesnt seem to b effected, nor does the net or downloads if i try to.
For me at least its not just game related, as I'm using Ventrillo at the same time and I'm getting massive latency problems there aswell. I haven't been playing much online for the last 5-6 months until Tuesday this week when I started up again and I've noticed pretty shoddy latency times in general. 400+ms to 2k+ms is not a gaming connection.....
Guys, I would urge you to let IDNet know about this so they are able to look into the issue and resolve it.
I'm on Terenas PvE realm, and getting massive latency to World of Warcraft in the 800ms to 2400ms range. Websites seem fine, just appears to be wow and its only really been tonight too

That's just what I was going to say, Sebby, and I will also email IDNet and point them at this thread. The more people who inform them of this, the more of a picture they'll be able to get, which will hopefully lead to a quicker fix.

Sorry for being rude, Agoona...
:welc: :karma:
Getting it here too.
Are your speeds suffering or is it just latency?
My speed is terrible tonight:
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Your DSL connection rate: 4544 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 800 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 4000 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 94 kbps :bawl:
Not sure if it's connected to the above, but thought I'd post in case it's any help.
No issues on .net tonight pings and throughput fine. Simon's going for the record low, is that a wireless connection?
Which gateway are you on, Steve?
Getting it too, always see people skipping on my screen then I get booted back to the login screen. Tried to get back in but that results in instant disconnection until the fight is over. Was very bad on Mimiron today and trash to Vezax.
I'm on the Nordrassil realm at 80-239-149-56.customer.teliacarrier.com. Tracerts show nothing unusual, no packet loss either. Just solid 20-40ms. Pings ingame are 600-1200.
Internet seems fine though, low latency on mIRC and can max out torrent speeds as normal.

Stability, latency, the works. I feel like I'm back in the 1990's and on a modem...
Having the same problem, downloads going really slow, and any attempt to play games is met with large amounts of latency.
Are you all GW5?

Just got invited back to the raid in WoW, but got booted back to login screen again as we started on another boss fight, its really not dealing with the heavy traffic from the combat for some reason.

It looks like it, though I'm certainly no network expert!
Same for me, first time ever having problems with IDnet in 2+ years.
Web / download appear to be working fine, any attempt to play wow results in massive latency and a dc within 10-20 seconds.
You can add me to the list. I thought my issue was exchange related because of a previous problem but having seen this thread it's fairly obvious we all have the same issue.
I've deleted all my test data now but I have the same problems as described, low latency through tracerts but 1000ms+ in Warcraft together with continual disconnects. Graphics rich websites also fail to fully resolve before a timeout.
Like other members here we were looking good for a first time take down (Freya with 1 add) so I'm not too happy :'(

Most network admins will tell you not to take too much notice of ping or tracerts as their request information is low on the traffic list but yet its always a good indicator of something not doing what it should be somewhere. To me it looks like telehouse-gw3 could do with a kick up the arse ;D

Telia (WoW EU ISP provider) have peering/gateways in central London so if Telia where having problems I'd imagine it to be more widespread than just IDNET users, which doesn't appear to be the case.
Bang goes another theory. :(
It would seem so, I have Guild members playing though a multitude of ISPs and only those with IDNet seems to be affected.
IDNet are on the case, Zap. :)
Indeed, I've just had an email from support, saying they are looking into things. :)
Good to hear. Thanks to you both for the update :)
Things seem to have improved here.
I still can't do another BT Speedtest, but it seems more like normal now. It may have been one of those things which requires a bit of digging, and we'll find out more in the morning. :)
Hi Guys
We cannot see any likely cause for the reports of latency issues here. Everything appears normal on our network. We've not (as yet) received any problem reports from BT and there are no notifications of problems at LINX, LONAP, AMS-IX or SFINX. We'll keep an eye on things.
Simon
Thanks for the update, Simon. :)
yeh its been the same for me too. been playing WoW all day, raid time comes and getting 2-4 second lag spikes where everytihng just warps around the screen. Casts taking an age to get off and also getting DC'd as well. Only seems to happen during heavy combat. Tonight is the first time iv seen it happen. Ventrilo ping seems fine and browsing/downloading is fine too. Maybe IDnet should check on Telia in London who they directly peer with (at least on my tracerts). Maybe a router needs a good kick up the arse I dunno.
Hope its better tomorrow night. Hope IDnet can keep us posted.
Thanks, Simon. :)
Thanks for the update. Things do indeed appear to be back to normal now.
Hi ID-netters!
First time poster and happy to finally gotten to make an account on these very friendly forums.
All I wanted to ask is if any of the above posters have experienced and improvement and/or if the issues are gone?! How does it look while being online?
Also I wanted to add that based on my test and research it seems that the WoW related ISP Telia, based on london, seems to be largest cause of the issues.
Great day to all,
Mahgman
Edit: While it looked fine during midnight last night, my question was thus directed at people being online now, and if the problem had returned.
Hi Mahgman and welcome to the forum. :welc: :karma:
I'm not a games player, so not the best person to advise, but a quick ping test to IDNet shows as normal, ie around 22ms average.
:welc: :karma:
Thank you, guys!
I am at work atm, so now I will keep my hopes up ;D Had a hard week and am looking forward for some relaxation time online tonight.
I will have a chunk of beer and a nice pint of Karma if everything works :P :fingers:
Cheers
;D
ATM, it looks like there may have been a BT fault at Ealing affecting an area of the country, but investigations are continuing.
Haha, while having been an avid reader of these forums during "hard times", I learned one thing (well more but..):
If its uncertain where a problem lies, its safe to blame BT :evil:
Good to hear its being looked at. I hope the investigation is concerning the aftermarth/merits of the incident, and not a still ongoing problem. :-\
BT sent a closure notice on the Ealing problem at 23:30, about the time things returned to normal. The problem is that they didn't advise at the start of the incident, so iDNet are trying to get more info from them.
Welcome to the forums Mahgman :karma:
As far as Warcraft is concerned, everything seems fine this morning, latencies are great for me at least. I think tonight will be the test as it appears to be an issue that manifests itself during peak hours.
Hi All,
We have fully investigated last nights speed and latency issue which affected some of our users, having exhausted all possible diagnostics i can confirm there was no issue on the IDNet network which left us pretty puzzled.
This morning we have been in touch with contacts at BT and the BT Centrals team who have looked at the link between BT and IDNet and failed to find any issue.
We have, however, identified one possibility; we received an outage update from BT which was supposed to go to another ISP but was sent to us by mistake. The update detailed the loss of a Home Gateway which was resolved at 23.05 last night. Our theory is when this Home Gateway went down BT re routed through a different Home Gateway which temporarily affected some of our customers.
Miriam
Thanks, Miriam. :)
Thanks for the update, the timing does seem to coincide with a resolution to the problem so that could well explain things.
Thanks for letting us know, Miriam. :)
No raid tonight for me, but I'll know on Saturday evening since I have an Ulduar trip then. If things are still wacky at that point I'll throw spanners randomly until it resolves.
Thanks for the update, Miriam. :)
Thanks for the updates, will not be able to see if problems persist still until sunday evening which will be my next raid event in world of warcraft.
We'll be here if you have problems. :)
I'll be online and in Ulduar tonight so I'll let you know how it goes.
Do you have your passport? :)
QuoteThe update detailed the loss of a Home Gateway which was resolved at 23.05 last night
Thanks for the update, Miriam. Indeed, as other users stated, around 23.10-ish, the problem seemed to be resolved based on latency and packet loss frequency.
I personally thoguht it would simply be all the Brits getting sleepy and heading to bed early ;D But that misdirected outage explains it more likely.
Cheerio
We hope. :fingers: ;D

Well tonight I won a new Harry Potter Wand on my healing priest as things seem to be back to normal and I was able to raid on a stable connection. Looks like Miriam's report was indeed an accurate explanation of yesterday's problems.
:thumb:
That's good, Zap. :)
It is. :)
Well the problems aren't gone, same thing happening as yesterday. Not dropping but severe lag spikes, enough to crash my counter-strike, lag me out of vent, makes web pages very slow to load. It's intermittent, comes and goes. Happened round the same time yesterday and cleared up around 9pm after a 30min router reboot. Will let you know when it stops today, if it stops *fingers crossed*
gw6 here.
I'm averaging 20ms to IDNet right now. What server are you on?
I meant the gaming server, Glenn. I'm on gw6, as are you, so I don't think it's realm/gateway issue.
Blimey when I posted I never thought I'd generate 4 pages worth of posting!! I don't seem to be having any issues now, however, I've not raided since. Not heard anyone complaining last couple of days though. :fingers: its cleared up whatever it was :)
Cheers all
Raiding has been fine for me, I think it was a one off :)
Which points at this Ealing BT problem, strange how these things knock on...
Still got the same problem, started around the same time again.
gw6, intermittent packet loss from around 5pm onwards to 7pm and 8pm and it's been going on since this thread started. *sigh*
I'll ring IDnet tomorrow, too late to do it now. Just wanted to log it in here incase anyone else was still having these problems.
No problems here, sorry.

Am also on gw6 and speeds are diabiolical via several speed checkers (four, including BT), down to 1.2mb to 1.5 Mb at times. Never had this before during the day, even with the extremely duff Sky Connect package always had max speeds of 6.7 Mb plus all day. Something, I know not what, is not quite right with the system. Has only reared its ugly head within the last couple of weeks. :dunno:
Just played a simple youtube video and it is not running as it should, slight hesitancy.
Pings for me to IDNet are at 21ms, downloads and speed tests are normal for my line, (3M sync/2.5M profile). As I'm also on GW6 (though have checked via GW5 and DSL4), it suggests a geographical issue to me, eg BT backhaul or exchange congestion. All I can suggest it that you contact support, Q, so that they can take a look for you.

Up until around two weeks ago everything was fine but there is now a blip in the system that is not quite right. Will monitor and if no improvement will take your advice. :thumb:
Sluggish afternoon connected via .net pings to www.idnet.net at around 70ms cured by a router reboot and back down to 20ms, not seen this for a while.
Same here, for the past two days my pings have 'gone out' from a 23ms average to a 31ms average, Steve.
Pings atm for me are a little increased 60ms. Normally they around 22ms.
It might be worth trying a router reboot Vit, though I'd probably leave it till morning for the best speed.
A steady 23-25ms to idnet.com for me at the moment.
So not widespread, probably not geographical... :dunno:
Mine have stayed low since the reboot.I am not worried about the time of day due to presence of full sync and 15db margin.
Ah shaddup. ;D
You can go right off some people... ;D
edit - we need the negative karma to come back! :evil:
We'll just pour it down Steve's line. ;D
:rofl:
In the recent past when we had balancing issues and the pings started creep upwards my throughput tended to fall as well, this was not the case today plus as I said the pings have remained low since the router reboot.
My balancing issues tend to come after many pints of beer of have consumed!
:lol:
It doesn't take many for me. ;D

Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why we constantly now have to reboot our routers daily in order to reset an acceptable ping. I never had to do this pre-downgrade ( poor humour ). To say it is getting tiresome would be an understatement, it normally starts around 4pm and this time of day is definately the worse although recently it has continued through the evening sometimes requiring 3/4 reboots.
Is this likely to be sorted?, speaking for my connection the ping times have never been stable since the upgrade, and this evening has just about killed my patience waiting for a resolution.

Rebooted.........no change, rebooted for a second time and the pings are back to what I pray for :blush:, but I can guarantee after an hour of gameplay it will require another reboot?.

I can't enlighten you but I will agree that for me towards the end of last week my ping times were elevated to www.idnet.net @70ms this was cured by a reboot to 16 -25 ms. Today they've been around 35-40ms certainly not as good as they have been over the past few months.
All I can suggest is that you get in touch with IDNet and let them know what is happening, so that they can look into it.

Most of us don't, Mo. I got hit by poor pings last Thursday, a reboot cured it and they've been fine since. My router had been 'up' for 35 days when I rebooted, and that was the first ping problem I'd seen since February, I think. Some people are having issues, but it's a relatively small number as best I can judge. As Sebby says, you really need to talk to IDNet so that they can check your line.
My ping is stable but exactly 10-15ms higher than yesterday and the previous months. ???
Have you tried re-booting your router?
My pings seem 20 ms higher, Rik. My router was rebooted about 5 days ago ish they are for idnet, 41ms and for bbc.co.uk 41ms also.
Spoke to support and they have no idea why a reboot would lower your pings in fact it shouldn't make any difference I was told ??? Oh well, it may all change again in a day or two :)
I don't understand why it often works, Gary, the only half-logical explanation I can come up with is that the new connection is routed differently.

Thats what I would have thought Rik, saying that I'm not keen on rebooting my router, tbh its not worth it, the last reconnect was because we had out 16 year old spinning disc electric meter replaced with a digital one
What, no UPS? :)

I had one connected for the phone and router Rik, but she who must be obeyed does not want a ups sitting in the living room, even though i told her it was a good idea keeping the router up and the phones in case of power cuts, but no its ugly is makes a slight hum, so NO! :'(
I have one on the Sky box. :)

I do but its hidden well and pretty quiet its looks after the PS3 as well but where the router is the Belkin is in view so she said no even though she cannot hear the other Belkin one :dunno:, she hears it more because she sees it I think, really annoying but her point of view is its ugly, its not needed (it is) and do I want to have dinner tonight? ;D
;D
Have you thought about hiding it and running a longer mains lead to the router?

why have your sky box on a ups? if the power goes out you tv wont work?? or am i missing something? :dunno:
I should have said Sky+, Pup. It allows it to continue recording if the power goes down, and it also serves to protect the box from over and under voltages and spikes.
ahh i see now. ;D
