IBB -- 3Rock

enigma_b17

Wondering if any1 else on this mast is experiencing severe delays or whether its just me. This happened before and IBB were able to fix it, took about 2 weeks, but it was doable and now its completely gone heywire. Dloads rarely go over 30k most are around 20, and my pings are all over the place. Just did this ping to boards.ie



me thinks ill probably be cancelling (if possible) if this isnt resolved soon, its simply too unreliable.

That's with BT going at 65KB/s down and 46 up, along with 3 other torrents uploading.

that ping was done with nothing but 2 forums open (including boards.ie), no downloads going, no games running, no unncessary processes accessing the internet

I am using IBB's 1mbit breeze product and since yesterday its crap. My pings are about as good as yours and im getting about 20k/s max. But I am in Lucan. I wonder if it has anything to do with their 2mbit tests they are conducting?

neokenzo

I'm having same problem. Pings are high and the using the internet feels sluggish.

Sesshoumaru

where are you located neokenzo?

neokenzo

Rathmines. Not sure which mast I'm connected to.

Turlock

Ring them and have a moan, that's happened to me a couple of times and if resetting your box doesn't work then it's more than likely a routing problem

That sucks my pings to www.boards.ie are usually around 5-7ms. Just did one now and heres the results:

FAT PIPE (edit - oops ignore this line)

Ouch, but that is with BitTorrent downloading @ 122~K and uploading @ 25K

If your connection is that bad, call them. That will get something done. No point in telling boards about it - We can't do anything for you.

im aware of that I was simply attempting to see if it was me or if it was a general problem with 3rock

sluice44

You're right to ask, Enigma.

I posted on Friday morning ('is my IBB radio broken') but I'm on the Ballymun mast. After your Friday night post, other masts seem to be slow as well. Oldtitan (see below) said there was a problem with the Ballymun mast but he'd get it fixed.

FWIW, there's an poster (OldTitan) who implies he works for IBB and he replies to lots of the Ballymun mast complaints.

Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 60 Kbps (7.5 KB/sec) 64 Kbps (inc. overheads)

The graph puts me on par with ISDN.......

Im also downloading at about 80kb/s aswell.
Im on 3rock.

gsand

is it the 20:1 1meg product???

if there is nothing wrong with your actual connection and your downloads stay low it may be contention. when i had a problem and the engineers came out they were telling me 20:1 is pretty useless...i had it myself for a while but moved to 8:1 which is very good. pings arnt great but im not much of a gamer myself...

Nice huh?

neokenzo

I rang them up today letting them know that my ping was all over the place. The guy just say that they dont guarantee pings. So tough luck.

Yeah, but if your packets are being dropped that doesnt meet the minimum service levels.
