IMO we shouldn't have to avoid slow IP addresses.  There's absolutely no reason why we should accept a shoddy service from TMnet and there should be no reason why I/we should have to keep reconnecting just for a few extra ms.  We pay good money for a service which is unreliable.  As customers, it is within our right to complain to tmnet to ensure that the services provided by them are running properly.

It is basically your (and that is everyone who has to suffer dropped packets and high latency) duty, if the services are not up to scratch, to make a complaint to tmnet.

This is basically a call to arms.  If more of us actually make some noise then maybe we'll become loud enough for tmnet to hear.

ps.  When you call them tell them to shove that stupid bandwidth test up their arses as it has absolutely no impact on latency.  As a gamer I would rather have a stable low latency connection then the bandwidth.

As much as I agree with you and sympathize with you on this, I'm going to have to ask you to start another thread to keep arguments to a minimum on this thread. Since I'm not a moderator, I'm asking as nicely as I think I can. smile.gif Then in that other thread, rally for all you want. For this thread, let's just keep it to IP information.

And if you're expecting it to be my duty to rally for everyone, I'm going to have to pass on that because I get frustrated easily with hitting brickheads who know the obvious answers but are not taking it. But like I said, start another thread. Or better yet, think of a way to lead the changes needed. Posting up complaints on a forum that Streamyx and Telekom will most likely not read is not going to help matters, or even calling them when their helpdesk is known not to record down case numbers or that they can't deal with all the technical details.

For everyone else, this thread is not a Call-of-Arms thread. You can head over to the Network and Broadband Users for that or until someone post up another thread in WoW.

Also, please do not assume that I can do anything and everything. I'm a puny female, remember that. tongue.gif Thank you.

Apologies for hijacking your thread. I am not trying to be confrontational, it's just that it's very annoying to see whine posts here which do not provide any further information. As it is, it appears that, at least in my case, the traditional reliable/fast IP ranges have been acting really strangely this past week which means that a lot of the information posted in the past can now be considered out of date.

I don't think i'm asking you to do anything, I was referring to the 'tidak apa' malaysian attitude of just whining and not doing anything proactive. If anything it's a plea to them to try to find out what the cause of their problem is and to do something about it.

And since when does being female mean you're any less capable than any of the other males we have lurking in this male dominated forum? tongue.gif

Kudos for trying to provide a useful service on this forum but wouldn't it be nice if there was no need for a thread like this?

Depends. Whether we can play on a good line or not, it's still worthwhile to see what IPs are good connections to play on. It's not going to reveal to us the reason behind the lag but it's the easiest quick-rule-of-thumb to know whether you're in for a good session of WoW or not.

Yes, we are all fedup with Streamyx. Problem has always been how to present a united front and how to persuade TMNet to improve Streamyx.

Anyway, for the lag this week, I don't think it's all contributed by the line but one of the international connections out. Some friends on Oz and NZ were saying that they were experiencing weird lag as well and that their ISP mentioned it was an outage on one of the gateways out. Only thing to do atm is to wait it out and see what happens.

Then again, Streamyx has posted up a notice about service interruptions in certain areas during 5-March till 16-March. And everytime an area goes down, the entire connection nationwide slows down anyways.

As for that statement being female, it was a cheap shot to diffuse the situation a bit. It did the trick I think. tongue.gif

Hmm...and I think I wrote a bit too much. Oopsy.

well i remember last time when i called them and talked about the constant bad tracert i get from TmNets servers and it goes something like this:

<after lengthy talks argueing its actually TMnets fault and not my machine>
me : ok i have done some trace route and it shows that the signals are jammed at Tmnets server before reaching out.

Tmnet guy : erm... what is trace route?

~ at this point i feel pointless ~

Tmnet guy : anyway, can you please do that check i told u about just now again? (after checking 2 time already)

me : nevermind.

Chc, can you post to the 2nd number? Sometimes getting 218.111 and 218.208 is a big difference. Unless 218.111 is starting to have problems too.

When you post the 1st number only, you're just posting which country the IP is from. Hehe! Well, as a general rule of thumb, that's the 1st number anyways. It would be nice to get up to the 3rd number but that might involve a lot of recording for everyone so I usually ask up to the 2nd set of numbers.

Ta!

which part of penang \? i am currently staying at bayan lepas and since 218.208.xx is letting me down.. i have tried to reset the ip but since then i couldnt get back 218 ip again....i have been getting 219.95 constantly...Have you gotten 219.95.xxx (3digits) what is the latency for this ip?..

sorry that this has become a whine post but i couldnt help it. sitting in front of the computer resetting ip is just not my favourite past time after a whole day of working. If this is not resolved i think i will have to quit the game for good after 2 years of playing ( was playing EU version then)  cry.gif  cry.gif

GG TM Net for screwing my WoW experience .....

guys, i'm going to stop editing for a bit. the in-game lag is extremely weird these days.

morning and afternoon are ok with 300-500 ms so it's bearable. but suddenly in the evening starting 8 pm onwards, it's shooting up to easily 2K secs.

when that happens, log out of WoW and reconnect back. sometimes that helps but only in current situation. also, don't run thottbot or wowhead in the background, especially wowhead.
