Slow connection/Bad ping while gaming.

Okay, so ive had BT total broadband for some time now and its always been good for me, ive recently placed and order for infinity and waiting on that processing.  But the past few weeks even before christmas ive been getting quite a bad connection, nothing with my set up of the homehub has changed at all, on my adsl setting it says i should get around 3.5mb/s download and almost 1mb/s upload.  Im getting nowhere near this now, i get about 350kb/s max download and when im playing online games that used to run very well i get awful pings of over 100 and it just impossible to continue gaming in that state as you would imagine, ive done a silent line test and my line is silent.  Here are my adsl settings and speedtest, any help is greatly appriciated!

Download speedachieved during the test was - 3461 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 1200-4000 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :3961 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 932 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 3500 Kbps
The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 11.23:25.4:63.36 (SBE:NBEBE)
These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 758 Kbps
 Additional Information:

  • AEBS slows connection, increases pings, AEBS slows connection, increases pings

    Hi all.
    If I connect my computer directly to the cable modem, I get solid upload and download rates, and pings in the 80 - 100ms range (three or four bars on the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" network testing tool).
    If I plug in my Apple Extreme Base Station, and then connect the computer via Ethernet to the router (so, not using WiFi), my upload goes way down, and my pings go into the 500ms range.
    I've tried this with a NetGear router as well, with a similar effect.
    The cable company says it's not their issue, since if I connect directly to the modem I get the service I'm subscribed for. They recommend turning off the firewall, but that's built-in to the AEBS when using NAT. So is there some configuration I can try to work this out? I'm assuming that this is not expected behavior?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    It doesn't look like anyone replied, but I've been having similar problems for some time and haven't found a solution.
    I'm a principal systems engineer w/25 yrs experience mostly in networking and unix so this problem is particularly perplexing.
    I have a mac mini late 2011 that ran Snow Leopard, Lion, Lion Server, Mountain Lion, ML Server, a Netgear GW724Tv3 w/latest firmware, AEBS Gig-E 802.11n model, MBP 17" mid 2008 ML server,  
    Wired to Netgear: MBP 17", MBP 15", AEBS, iMac 27" Late 2012, Mac Mini.  All are full-duplex (top LED green=1G, orange=100M/10M), bottom LED is link.  First 4 have green/green, MacMini is orange (top LED turns green 3 times, then orange on initial connection).
    I've tried setting the port for mac mini from auto/auto to 1000M, full-duplex fixed on both netgear and mac-mini (from Preferences and CLI) and neither make a difference, link never comes up in this setting.  The mini *used* to connect at gig-e some time ago, but at some point it stopped and was 100Mb everytime since.
    The mini doesn't connect at GigE on AEBS ports either, everything else does.
    I've tried booting the Mini using LinuxMint 14 with same results so it's a firmware/hardware issue.  Since the mini is the only device with this problem (everything else including newer macs work fine) it's a Mac Mini issue.
    I'm going to revert the firmware to v1.8 and see if that fixes the issue, because there have been a few hardware updates to the mini since I first got it.   I didn't get applecare for this Mini, it's only 1.5 years old (I missed the cut off date) so if I can't prove it's a software issue, I'll need to pay for repairs.
    As an option, I purchased a USB->Gig-E adapter, Thunderbolt->Gig-E adapter in the hopes it'll fix this issue.  USB won't perform better than 100Mb but the thunderbolt might if it can establish link.
    I'll report back if anything fixes my issue.

  • Slow Speeds/High Ping During Evening

    Just signed up for Comcast this week.  Noticed bad lag while gaming and speed tests indicate slow download speeds (<10 Mbps when I should be getting 75 Mbps) and high ping (200-300ms).  Checked everything hardware related on my end and couldn't find an issue.  Finally, did some trace routing and discovered high ping on Comcast servers in San Jose and Great Oaks.  See tracert results below. These issues seem to occur during the evenings (8pm to midnight PST), but the few checks I did during the day seemed fine.  It may be related to streaming volume at night.  In any event, it's ruining my internet experience.  How can this be resolved? Tracing route to e10905.dspb.akamaiedge.net [23.211.8.171]

    The same thing is happening for me. I live in Houston, Texas and my ping to a game called LoL was around 80 now its at 90. It's not a huge difference and I don't notice anything when gaming. I'm just curious as to why this has happened? 

  • Very SLOW connection - 5 mbps download

    Since November, 2014, I've been experiencing very slow connection.
    Redlands, CA 92373
    5 mbps download 30 mbps upload
    Called the call center 5 times. Each time, just a bunch of rebooting the router & speedtest.net checking
    A new Verizon router was installed and didn't improve anything.
    Technician 1 visited and mentioned that there is a network hardware problem in the area and many people called in for slow connection issues. The technician rebooted the ONT box and said if the speed goes down again, the ONT box should be replaced. The speed went down as soon as the technical left.
    Technician 2 visited and replaced the ONT box. Later that day, the speed went down to 5 mpbs for download.
    It's so slow at the time of writing this that Facebook page is rendered with texts only.
    Are there anyone from Redlands, CA area who have been experiencing the slow connection for a while?
    I don't want to call in again to go thru another around of 1 hour long rebooting / resetting the router and chekcing the speedtest.net exercises.
    I feel I am being ripped off because I am paying for 75/75.
    I'm running out of patience and am considering to switch to Timewarner.

  • High Packet Loss, High Ping and Slow Connection Ov...

    Hi There,
    I have been a customer with the BT unlimited broadband package for a little under two years and up until recently have had no real issues with the service. This was until around 3/4 weeks ago I noticed that the internet was very slow and certain online games or applications like Netflix would lose all of its quality or stop completely. At first I thought nothing of it and simply reset my BT Home hub router, and sure enough everything was back to normal. However after around 2-3 hours of moderate use (gaming online or watching Netflix) the problem surfaced again.
    Now I am lucky if I can get the entire way through a 40 minute TV episode before the quality drops and/or the service requires buffering. I have already contacted BT via the helpline and the service lady ran through the obligatory steps (turn off, wait 5 minutes, reset the home hub etc.) but she failed to understand that although rebooting the home hub does alleviate the problem initially, the symptoms of a slow connection, high packet loss and high ping always return within an hour.
    Four the last couple of weeks I have been trying to investigate the problem myself and I have done the following things:
    Tested the line using the master socket (no difference)
    Opened the ports on my firewall within the home hub (no difference)
    Directly wired in the computer instead of relying on the wifi (no difference)
    Tested for interference from neighbours wifi using inSSIDider office (it wasn’t, operating on different channels)
    Switched every device that requires internet off apart from the PC (no difference)
    So with all that in mind I am fairly confident that it is nothing within my house that has caused a significant reduction in internet quality.
    Now I have tried my best to display the problem I am having by recording the connection quality for the last 24 hours. The table below represents the condition and quality of the connection after leaving it a period of time without resetting:

    Now I immediately reset the home hub after running that test and ran the test again. These are the results I a achieved within 2 minutes of internet connectivity:

    Thank you for you quick reply, I have just moved my hub to the master socket again and re-run the test and I seem to be getting the same results.

    I have also checked if the bell wire was attached and it is not. My socket is of the new type with the inclusion of an inductor on the faceplate. My ADSL filters and modem cable already have the middle connecting pins removed so I don’t think it is a wiring problem, at least in my apartment anyway. I have also searched for problems with the exchange and they are showing green for my area. (Liverpool Central)
    I have just rang the quiet line and I do not appear to have any noise on the line. However, all I have is a cordless phone and I know that is not ideal for determining noise due to the radio frequency interfering with the phone speaker.
    Again thank you for you time on this issue.

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • Moved Hyper-V 2012 VM to Hyper-V 2012 R2 long ping respond, slow connection

    Hi,
    I have two Hyper-V server, one in 2012 and the other in 2012 R2. I use SCVMM 2012 R2 and begins to move all my VM(host 2012) to my new host 2012 R2. Some of the VM begins to have slow network connection. I try to upgrade the integrated Windows services but
    not luck, some vm are really slow with the ping respond (over 75ms). Other VM who's been migrated and works well responds in 1ms like the host itself. a new vm directly created on the 2012 R2 host is fine and respond in 1ms. So what can be the problem?
    Thanks

    Hi GuilaumeCRL,
    For troubleshooting please try the following items :
    a.  try to add a new NIC for the problematic VM
    (In the VM , open device manager --> view --> show hidden devices --> uninstall all devices under networkadapters -- shutdown the VM --> remove the old Vnic --> add a new one --> start the VM try to ping again )
    b.  try to  disable VMQ in the properties of  teaming members (physical NIC ).
    c.  try to keep the NIC driver up-to-date
    Hope it helps
    Best Regards

    There is something Definitely wrong with iOS 7 regarding DATA USAGE being logged to wireless carrier in for WIFI instead.
    I read all the previous replies and same issue.
    I rarely use my mac to sync....its all wifi sync for the last 2 years....never had this issue before... and i know it began with iOS7.... here is why....
    My iPhone was at home when I updated to iOS7 connected to wifi...but it logged Data Usage to Rogers Wireless (700MB approx)...data will never do an update over 50mb in app store (it gives the warning to use wifi) I play a lot of games and pay for them so I always update through App Store.  2 weeks later, simposons halloween update (650mb)...at home, using wifi.
    Rogers told me there was 700+mb data usage on the day of update and 650+mb data on oct 1.st (tapped out).
    Went over my 6GB plan and paid the fees.
    This has never happened before...It must come to apples attention by now...

  • Slow connection with OS X 10.7 while trying to access a Windows 2003 server

    Good afternoon:
    I am a systems engineer in an enterprise environment that is now deploying Macs and I have been finding that the Macs have a very slow connection to the Windows 2003 server; even after installing all necessry components.
    All of the Macs access network services via Active Directory
    The issue is the connection speed when trying to access folders on the servers.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to speed up this connectivity issue?

    Did you resolve this issue? Any links to anwers to this?
    thank you.

  • Slow connection after 2nd latest upgrade with AUR 8192cu-dkms package

    I have a wireless network connection with a "EDUP Ultra-Mini Nano USB 2.0 802.11n 150Mbps Wifi/WLAN Wireless Network Adapter", witch has the rtl8192cu chippset.
    From the start I have hade problems with lag, droped packages and slow connection with the original rtl8192cu package. So after a while I installed the 8192cu-dkms package from AUR and it worked prefectly. Before I would just reach speed at between 5 to 60 KB/sec, but after I installed the package I would reach the maximum of ca 800 KB/sec.
    After the next to last kernel upgrade (I think it was linux 3.17.3-1-ARCH or 3.16.???-ARCH) the speed droped back down to 15 to 100 KB/sec and it stared to lag. (And yes, I reinstalled 8192cu-dkms everytime I upgraded the kernel.) And the original drivers are still loosing more packages and have slower speed then 8192cu-dkms.
    I have other computers on the same network and they allways reach ca 800 KB/sec and I have tried diffirent router settings and I am certain that the problem is with my drivers.
    I use wifi-menu to connect to my network, since wpa_supplicant apperantly dosen't work with 8192cu-dkms.
    I have tried reinstalling them with no improved results. And I am out of ideas.
    Any one have the same problem or a solution?
    Is it a good or bad idea to downgrade to the last kernel version were it worked?

    This is basically my experience with every Realtek wireless chipset I have ever used on Linux.  Honeslty, if you have the means, get something else.  Realtek does a pretty shitty job writing and maintaining their Linux drivers.
    Edit: See this thread for another user's awesome experience of a recent Realtek wireless chipset.
    When I was struggling with a rtl8192ce a while back, I remember that there were a few module options that made it run slightly better.  This was basically just to set it to use software encryption, and turn off any and all low power states.

  • Lag spikes while gaming, probably due to wireless network

    While gaming online, I get lag spikes, or as I like to call them, due to the nature of what happens, warping, every so often. By warping I mean I do something, my screen shows it, but the action never got sent across the server. So if I were to move right during a warping event, it'd show me that I moved right but then in a second I'm back where I was. (I hope that makes sense)
    As for what I've done to try to rectify this problem:
    Reset the router
    Open up all necessary ports (actually I just enabled DMZ, which would open all ports)
    I would have updated the drivers for my wireless adapter, but this problem also occurs when I'm gaming online on a console connected to the wireless network so I highly doubt the drivers would be the problem.
    As for my router's model number, it's WRT54G.
    Now, for the question I have. Would switching to a WIRED network fix this problem? (despite that pinging from a wireless connection then pinging from a wired connection was consistent)  If so, why? (the why would be to convince my dad, as he believes that due to the consistency in the pinging attempts (only 3-4 packets lost out of 100 when pinging to Google) the problem couldn't be due to the wireless network)
    Many thanks for your time.

    You should try to upgrade your router's firmware, reset and then re-configure your router...
    Download the router's firmware from here 
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    Adjust the Wireless Settings after re-configuring the router - 
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
    Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    -Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    -Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
    Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...See if you face the same problem...

  • Mavericks install incomplete. No Apple installers on HD. Will I be able to upgrade to Yosemite and will it fix all that didn't install with Mavericks upgrade? Very slow connection speeds 30 hrs to download Mavericks. Tried re-install; no help/

    Ever since upgrade to Mavericks I have been having problems which are too numerous to mention. I finally found a program from a UCBerkley professor called Pacifier which indicated 4000+ of 400,000+ files and folders did not install. I was unable to go further to try to fix everything because Pacifier can't find ANY Apple installers on my HD. It recommended I download the Mavericks installer without reinstalling to continue; however, after having done so (very slow connection; takes 30 hours to download) and although the installer appears in apps while downloading it disappears and NO Apple installer packages can be found on my hard drive. I tried to download Yosemite once and it indicated my system wasn't eligible for the upgrade. Its' download time was similar to Mavericks; 28+ hours.
    I am using a Macbook Pro mid-2012 version OS X 10.9.5 (13F34); Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
    Regardless of how many files and apps I remove my memory is being eaten up to the point I can hardly do anything at all. There are no civil words for how frustrated I am. Someone please help me.
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Slow connection between two Macs in LAN

    Why does it take so long to connect one Mac to another Mac's public folder on LAN?
    Mac mini 2.4 GHz (the latest model with 4 GB RAM) is connected to LAN with 100 Mbps LAN cable;
    MacBook Pro 17" 2.33 GHz (2 GB RAM) is connected to LAN with AirPort 802.11 (G) via Linksys router WRT54GC.
    Both computers are in the same room, Linksys WiFi router is 6-7 meters away, excellent signal strength. It takes about 50-55 seconds while MacBook Pro connects to the Mac mini. Why so long??? Do they use 2kbps connection speed? I thought with these network speeds (54Mbps for WiFi, 100Mbps for LAN) it should be almost instantenious…
    Both Macs run 10.6.4.

    I'm having the very same problem, but only when connecting to one of the 3 Macs on my network. it eventually connects, but only after about 55 seconds. Connecting to the other 2 Macs is almost instant, so it leads me to believe that there is something wrong in the setup of the "problematic" Mac. This slow connection happens using either "Back to My Mac" or just trying to connect via Finder. Any ideas would be very welcome!

  • Slow connecting to internet and Flash frequently quits

    My iMac has been very slow over the past while. I am on Snow Leopard, and have all the updates.
    It takes a very long time to connect to internet and also to webpages. Simple commands such as inputing text and dropping menus take forever. I have that coloured pinwheel running for very long periods while attempting to make the connections or garnering responses to commands. Often the tasks will time out. I've been getting messages such as "Safari has shut down, there is a problem with flash, this error will be reported to Apple" and frequently I'll get a message that Flash has inexplicably quit. I've had the computer lock up and the only thing I can do is to shut down the computer, losing all my opened pages and unsaved data.
    I don't know if it would make any difference, but I have asked my service provider to send me a new modem. I have DSL and ethernet.
    Is it possible that Flash is corrupt and should I reinstall, or are the other problems, such as slowness, etc not a Flash related?
    I know I have a lot of old emails and other files which I have to clean out. Does this have a bearing? I have cleared history, removed cookies, and performed other cleanup tasks.
    My trial support period with Apple support has expired, so have no recourse through them.
    Thanks,
    Ted

    Ted, that does seem odd. Did you do a control-click (i.e. hold down the Control key while clicking) on the Macintosh HD icon? It should have presented a small menu of options, of which one is Get Info. Alternatively, if you have a two-button mouse, right-clicking the icon should have behaved similarly.
    You’ve got plenty of available disk space, so a crowded disk can be ruled out.
    The number of bookmarks should not have any effect on the browser’s speed. The size of your inbox theoretically could affect the speed at which you download e-mail, but you have enough available disk space that it shouldn’t be an issue.
    If you use Apple’s Mail program, does it offer an option to download e-mail but keep it on your ISP’s servers? If so, do you use that option? If you do, then that could certainly slow down your e-mail downloads if you have a large inbox, since your e-mail program would spend time figuring out what has already been downloaded vs. what needs to be downloaded — and if you check for e-mail often, then that processing could slow down your browsing.
    For both Flash and Firefox, the download will only overwrite packages of the same name if they already exist; thus, the commands above would overwrite Firefox.dmg and Flash.dmg on your desktop only if they already exist by those names there. Once the packages are executed, they will overwrite applications of the same name if they already exist. Thus, if you haven’t previously installed Firefox on your computer, by definition no previous Firefox can be overwritten; but if you install a newer version of Firefox in the future, then it will overwrite any version installed in the past — but your bookmarks, plug-ins, &c. won’t be affected by the overwrite, since they’re stored in a separate area of your disk. Executing a Flash package will overwrite the version that is already installed.

  • I've been getting an error message about Gmail detecting a slow connection...

    This started happening a couple days ago. When logging in to Gmail, there's a pause and the error message about a slow connection.
    It seems to have started when Firefox was updated to v32.0

    Do you connect to the web directly or through a proxy (a proxy could be a filter provided by your security software, or a VPN service, etc.)? You could experiment with your connection setting here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings" which should use the settings in Windows/IE for your LAN connection. You also can try "No proxy" to see whether that helps.
    And... the usual suggestions:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Note: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?
