I've shifted the post out of LYN to a free wiki page so that players can help with the editing. All they need to do is create an account with pbworks.com and just edit on the wiki with the new information. The link to the wiki is below : http://wowstreamyxconnections.pbworks.com This thread will remain as discussions for problems ppl are facing with in-game latency when on Streamyx lines.

eternallove, which area in penang are you at? might be helpful to know since certain areas may lag worst than others.

(my ignorance is shining here. Added on February 11, 2007, 2:38 pm QUOTE(Kidicarus @ Feb 11 2007, 05:53 AM) I've been travelling a lot through the ASEAN region this past few weeks and i normally get pings to my vent server of about 220-270ms (that's in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam). So i really don't see why TM can't get their act together and give us solid latency. Thailand + Vietnam = not a lot of ppl on broadband I would think so lines are not full-up. Plus, probably got a better deal out of the international telcos than TMNet. This post has been edited by myremi: Feb 11 2007, 02:38 PM |

QUOTE(limsk @ Feb 21 2007, 10:18 AM) Your modem is either the luckiest one I know or the toughest. What brand? McLaine (Die Hard) aaa? It's the 1st generation of the ZTE ZXDSL 831. The Streamyx Tech told me that it's usually hardier than the newer versions of the modem.This is a list of barang that close lightning strikes have done to my PC in the last 3 years: - Surge protector x2 (real bullshit) - Power Supply x2 - modem x2 - motherboard x1 Before I got a better surge protector, I was using a cheapo Voltage Regulator. Now, ended up using a Belkin 7-plug surge protector (nearly RM200) plus UPS (no choice after my 1st PC went kaput after a year). For my first PC, had to changed out everything except for the Leadtek Graphic Card, Intel Chip and the above modem. This is through almost daily rainstorms + lightning strikes in Kuching. |

QUOTE(Kidicarus @ Mar 8 2007, 12:42 PM) If you want to get something done about the lag, perform tracerts and send them to streamyx. Whenever you get pings in excess of 4k, and where you get constant disconnects and lag spikes, it's pointing to lost packets. Lost packets = bad for wow. I started this thread awhile back because of the complaints about the lag and there seem to be a lot of people complaining but no overview of what was really going on throughout Malaysia. The thread was to put whatever feedback that people had about the IPs and see if other areas had the same problems Details on how to do the relevant tracerts can be found in the technical forums of the wow website. A lot of the dropped packets, for me at least, are happening before it leaves routers owned by streamyx.. typically 219.94.xx.xx. Call streamyx 1300889515 and moan to them. Get a case number after you've told them you've gone through all the usual troubleshooting BS. Send them emails at streamyx@tm.net.my with the case number in the heading. If i'm the only one complaining to TMnet, then they won't feel the need/pressure to do anything about it. But if more of you guys make some noise then maybe they'll actually find out what's going on and fix it. Yeah, I know that tracert but can you imagine how annoying it is having to repeat it over and over to people to do it? Come to think about it, one day I had enough, especially when people talk about lag and yet have nothing else to say except the word "lag". No IPs, no tracerts, nothing and they refuse to make their case with streamyx. Maybe I didn't achieve this at all with the information posted up. Then again, as mentioned in the 1st post, this thread is to post up IP information and it was to try it out (to see if people find it useful). What to do with this info, well, hopefully it gives a glimpse of hope for ppl who could try redialing or it could act as a reference for them when they experience lag. One thing that I hope this thread did was at the very least reduce the amount of postings about their lag situation. Added on March 8, 2007, 5:36 pm QUOTE(chc @ Mar 8 2007, 09:46 AM) which 218 connection? some folks were reporting 218.208 as both good and bad, and that 218.111 was in the same situation.This post has been edited by myremi: Mar 8 2007, 05:36 PM |

QUOTE(Kidicarus @ Mar 9 2007, 09:28 AM) 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. 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. 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. 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. |

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

Sashan, which part of Malacca are you in?
QUOTE(chc @ Mar 9 2007, 11:40 AM) penang also getting ping time to 800ms start from 8.00pm to taiwan server and i'm using 218.xxx.xxx.xx yesterday, having a lag environment at RAQ. tonight i'm going to complaint if the problem still there, as i'm clearing all my streamyx oustanding balance 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! |

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. |
