IOL Broadband 150ms pings

    Seeing the other threads about problems with IOL Broadband... often on a weeknight I will have around 150-200ms ping in games, even on servers hosted by IOL. I'm still in my 3 month trial of IOL Plus, and deciding whether to continue for the year or to cancel and switch to Eircom.

    I know some ISPs do not cater for gamers, and will not assure good ping... does anyone know what the story is with IOL? For the first few weeks it was excellent but now this high ping at night is becoming more common...

    Diabolus, is it related to the problems experienced in the other thread, or is this something that I should expect in the long term if I decide to stay with IOL?

    I have very rarely heard of this problem occuring. Normaly the pings reach 60.
    Has this also only occured since this problem?
    If so i would give it a bit of time to clear up.

    If not i recommend you ring tech Support and have this fault to be looked into.

    Will do - I had a feeling that I got unlucky with a lot of heavy kazaa users in the area or something. In future I'll note the times when this happens and start collecting tracerts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭Lex_Diamonds


    Same thing happened to me the other night. It was on the night of the storm so I thought there might have been a connection. Am on the Nutley exchange.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    Do a search for IOL ping times... it's not the first time they've had bouts of unplayable lag... sometimes lasting weeks.
    It won't become an issue for them until people vote with thier feet... my 12 month contract is almost up, so any more shoddy performance and I'm outta here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭Lex_Diamonds


    Who do you plan to move to though? Everyone sucks in some way. :/

    Everyone is praying for NTL to save them :( I wish they would hurry up! There are no other real options.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭Kulgan


    Yea IOL pings have gone to crap last week or so every evening from around 20:00-22:00 :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    Who do you plan to move to though? Everyone sucks in some way. :/
    If you're just talking about gaming, then Eircom - all my clanmates have regular Eircom DSL and have no trouble with pings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 820 ✭✭✭Diabolus


    The issues were all resolved.
    Do you still have the high pings?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    The pings are not constantly high... they occur on evenings during the week, for the three weeks, usually 9pm onwards. Now I see that I'm not the only person experiencing this, since others have posted here. Its only Monday afternoon, we'll find out at 10pm tonight if our pings will be OK tonight, and same tomorrow. I'll be surprised if we last till Thursday without having a solid orange ping at least one night.

    I cannot do traceroutes because IOL DSL doesn't allow pings? Is there any other ping tracker program that doesn't rely on ICMP... like.. how does All Seeing Eye get its ping times? I'd like to see where the dodgy hops are too, or whether leechers are eating the local bandwidth... had hoped the download cap would prevent that.

    Ta for the response anyway Diabolus... will let you know later in the week whether or not the issue appears to be resolved.

    Cheers illl try mine too for comparison.
    Im not an online gamer anymore so i never see pings.
    Will confer later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    OK pings have just gone from lovely 35 ping to 140 ping... most likely it'll stay this bad for the night. Just to confirm, wish I could tracert and stuff. Might give tech support a ring to see what they say.

    Hey "Illkillya" could you try this tracert?

    tracert www.burstfire.net

    Also "Kulgan" are you on IOLBB?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭Kulgan


    Yes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    I can't do tracerts, or dos pings... I assumed IOL prevented it but I see nobody else has this problem, so maybe its the way my router is set up. I can connect to burstfire servers and see 140+ ping though. I'm on Leixlip exchange.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 820 ✭✭✭Diabolus


    Im trying to see if its limited to certain BAS or Exchange points.
    Also if your on IOLBB or BB Plus.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 12,450 Mod ✭✭✭✭dub45


    there is a post this evening (8.25pm) on the UTV support group complaining of a similar prolem:
    Getting some horrid ping spikes around this time every night for the past week or two. A friend on IOL has the exact same problem, at the exact same
    times as me every night.

    IOL BB Plus... decided to go for the more expensive package with lower contention ratio to reduce the risk of this happening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 Collina


    I'm having the same ping problems - just leapt up through the roof.

    The irony is this is the first time in 3 months that it has happened to me. It has been perfectly fine until tonight, funnily enough I just got a letter from Esat in the post today telling me my 3 months is up and do I want to sign up for 12 months....

    Reading this thread is making me think twice.

    I use the Leixlip exchange too (IOL), and I'm getting similar figures just now. Haven't seen it like this before.

    I'm getting the same, took until 11:45 to go back to 40 ping to the UK.

    Eircom here I come...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27 Mutor_CS


    Same here, it's been happening for at least two weeks, pings to UK servers warbling between 50ms and 170ms. Traceroutes, like above, show first hop to esat's servers well over 100ms - most evenings around 9.

    Diabolus - IOL/Esat should know about this stuff the instant it happens, not when users get so fed up that they post on boards.

    A mate of mine in eircom net says that Esat have a third 'server' coming 'soon' (not sure what kind of server, maybe a BBAS?) that should help with capacity problems, and no, eircom users are not seeing this issue, but poor old UTV users are.

    IOLBB and UTV were down completely this morning for me (Leopardstown) and a friend (Cabinteely). We got assigned an IP address upon connection, but no ping response from the gateway or DNS servers. This isn't the first day it's happened. It also happened last week, I had dismissed it as a once-off...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 815 ✭✭✭animaal


    Started happening here (Leixlip) again in the last few minutes.

    Whats the dealio with moving from ESAT BB to Eircom BB?

    EDIT:
    I just checked my line on the Eircom website to see if I could get eircom broadband (this while dialled up with ESAT/IOL BB). Aparently my line isn't capable when it comes to broadband. :/

    Like, WTF, it really instills a sense of confidence in me when they tell me that. The whole broadband scene is a bloody joke. I only found this board/thread after having the ping issues with IOL. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

    Also anyone able to give a decent reason for why IOL break the internet and deny ICMP packets? Again, WTF!?!

    Things are geting worse. I now get timeouts sometimes. It's worth noting that in the trace below, step 6, the timeout, is trying to contact "pos2-0.br001.ldn.esat.net [193.95.131.14]". I tried to phone IOL support but after being on hold for three quarters of an hour, I was cut off with an automated message telling me that they are now closed.

    Anyone got any ideas. I also sent a question to Esat. I will prolly receive their standard 'contention' excuse.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭[DF]Lenny


    I have IOL bb 18 months on the low contention line ..This problem has started to occur in the last 2 weeks for me too.I had probs about year ago but my old pal Bill Murphy at ESAT assured me it was a temporary exchange problem(due to Eircom upgrade).It settles down after 12:00 so it is probably just overloading ...NTL suffer from this too.

    IF you suffer this problem please ring Tech Supp and report the problem.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Illkillya


    Diabolus, I don't think he was attacking you personally. I'm sure ESAT does know of this issue, and your help here is appreciated. Could you advise of the best place for all of us to direct our complaints?

    hey guys
    I am on leixlip exchange as well.
    Went into play counterstrike for the first time last night cause I had blown up my motherboard previously and only got it fixed and was pinging 300!, totally unplayable!

    There must be something we can do about this.
    I paid the extra to get the better contention ratio so its up to them to provide the service.
    Fair play to esat tho, after a few e-mails to and from bill murphy he got our line enabled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 820 ✭✭✭Diabolus


    It does look like congestion but it is being looked into.
    I suggest you call in on 1890 923 111 and reporting the problem through Tech Support.
