hi Ste , i have been on ptn-ag03 for some time & have no problems  Wink but i realise being on fibre makes it different than your connection .
is your router OK ? , Have you updated Drivers ? as i thought you had sorted it since your new router  Roll_eyes

Re: Battlefield 3 lagg

I was also getting unrelated latency with lotro since last friday, I was on ptw-ag03 and since a gateway hop to pcl-ag05 it has been better.  Wireshark and ping traces came up clean.  Nothing was obviously wrong, just I was getting rubber banding more often than I should while on ptw-ag03.

Re: Battlefield 3 lagg

I too have been seeing lag in all my games over the past days. When I open a ping test I see latency spikes to servers like bbc.co.uk...
I've tried different gateways but they all seem almost the same with one or two maybe a bit better. It could be something local to me but I really can't be sure without others confirming the same.
I'm seeing latency spikes even when the network is idle. With my QoS router limiting the one other person on my network to 2500/200kbps (18000/1000kbps internet connection) seems to be very unstable. Not good!!! This started to happen days before I'm about to get fibre and contract renewed.  Huh
Maybe its my exchange? but shortly this will change after put on fibre as I wont be on the same server? Maybe someone from PN could shed some light as I don't see any problems on the status page.  Embarrassed

@ukste
Strange that the ping meters in game aren't registering the connection issues, normally if this stays solid then the lag is caused elsewhere (server, graphics, other players etc).

@Blim
We've not seen anything that I'm aware of but we'll take a look today and see if there is anything amiss.

Re: Battlefield 3 lagg

yer maybe its the game itself becuase my connections seams to be good since i fixed a few things a few weeks ago. Tbh some friends have recently talked about lag in game on other server so maybe its the game being a pain again. I really made the post because i was not sure and wanted to see if anyone else was having problems. Altho .. since i changed gateways ive not noticed any lag ... ill see how things go.

Re: Battlefield 3 lagg

Well Sunday was def laggy on most if not all gateways for me.

Really good news today, after having fibre installed things are really looking good. haven't found a server that can fully deal with the speeds this is putting out  :D. gonna give it a rest till tonight coz one speed test can rack up a lot of my usage alone. This is silly, bit too faster. I am lost for words. Great job. Id like to go on about it but that would just upset other people who don't have it yet.  Roll_eyes
Thanks PN, just hope things don't get like they did last Sunday again and that it was something my end. Peace  Cool
