:( bad gaming

[#1]

wireshark capture added to my ticket now

[#2]

Which ticket have you added it to, as there is nothing on 60420290 yet?

[#3]

no idea why but its failing to attach as a text file and zip, will try IE instead of Opera
edit: now its attached

[#4]

The capture seems to have exported in text format in hexidecimal. Not matter what I do, I cannot get Wireshark to import it.
It's auto-detection is showing it thinks it is the last filetype in the line when you use the open dialogue, which confirms it has used all import filters and failed.
Sorry, but do you still have the capture open such that you can save it again in pcap format?

[#5]

added a zipped pcap and uploaded it to my web space link in the ticket.
Unrelated issue with Opera, its not completing the upload of attachments via the ticket system, its Action buffer gif stays active even though it has completed the upload, same issue with attachments on this forum

[#6]

Sorry, you deserve that for using Opera
I don't like Opera myself. I'll get Dave T to test this, as I frequently poke him for his love affair with this browser.
I will try and scan over the capture now.

When I am in Battlelog, I go from favourite servers, to history and back to favourites and I am seeing servers that normally have a ping of 11 going up to 85. It has been ok for about a week, even though I only go on a couple of times a week, but last night and tonight has been shocking. I see an enemy infront of me and fire at him, and he just seems to disappear and reappear about 10 times in a couple of seconds. Its definately strange.
Ping is starting to spike again, normally 5ms
ptn-ag03,

[#8]

You are currently connected to the gateway known as ptn-ag04.
This is located in Telehouse North.
Im currently connected to this also ( Default Gateway: 195.166.128.193(pppoa0) )

Tonight again im having issues with BF3 .. getting pings from 20-100 jumping up and down and getting orange triangles again... hope this is fixed soon otherwise i hate to say it but ill be looking for a new isp as i only use my net really for gaming.

[#9]

I was going to come onto your server Ste for a couple of rounds but the ping was all over the place. It is not very enjoyable playing BF3 at the momment with all the ping spikes.
I have just done a command prompt bbc.co.uk ping and it is 12,12,28,15, then 12,26,30,40, then 26,11,12,13.

We aren't having much luck atm.  We've had a gateway drop this evening which has caused balance problems:  http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1349201651.htm
Try reconnected to hop onto a better gateway. 

[#12]

okey

[#13]

Do you know which Gateway you were on before you hopped and is it any better and which Gateway are you on now?

[#14]

I just did a gateway hop from ptn-ag03 to pcl-ag01
The bbc.co.uk ping test comes back as 12 across the board, so see what tonight brings.

[#15]

Well I hope it's OK for you. I get 5-7mS worse pings on pcl-ag01 (20CN) than a number of other Gateways.
