There are just too many elements of a local connection to a distant server that the local ISP like us cannot control for anyone to offer such a guarantee. Still, we feel like the problems you are having are caused by our old CMTS and that the new one will fix everything. We certainly have our fingers crossed.<BR/><BR/>If you will email me privately with your address I will respond with the information about which Sunday your move is scheduled for.

Now during peak hours it ranges from 300-800 and makes the games unplayable.<BR/><BR/>I'm optimistic that the changes being made in Glasgow will help this. But the comment back to Micah does not sound very promising.<BR/><BR/>From Bowling Green, we can still get a 30 ping, peak hours. To the same game servers that I ping 600 plus from Glasgow, therefor I have to assume that the game server I'm playing on is not in some remote land hanging off some random pole.....<BR/><BR/>Is there a schedule of what parts of town will be transferred on the dates posted? I am curious if I'm already "fixed" and still have this impossible lag....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05199136304059227384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985375119695599206.post-13597973689531183782008-08-28T13:55:00.000-05:002008-08-28T13:55:00.000-05:00Micah,Yes it is possible. Can we guarantee it? No....Micah,<BR/><BR/>Yes it is possible. Can we guarantee it? No.<BR/><BR/>We control, at the most, about .01% of the route between your home and those game servers. While it is true that our .01% has not been performing well and that is the subject of this, and other, blog posts right here on this site, our new CMTS hardware and software will only make things better right here in Glasgow. If your game server is hung off of a small pipe in some distant state or country, nothing we do will improve your game ping time. I know we are an easy target for your unhappy gaming experience, but we are only a minute part of the total infrastructure involved.<BR/><BR/>However, we are optimistic that, by the end of the schedule detailed in this post, no ISP will be able to offer you faster access within Glasgow and our new fiber connection to the AT&T POP will remove any bottlenecks we have been experiencing with our old Windstream circuits to Louisville. That may not solve all of your problems, but it sure cannot hurt.<BR/><BR/>We also realize that as soon as these improvements are made, the game software folks as well as the peer-to-peer movie downloads, etc., will quickly consume that bandwidth and we will have to start planning our next upgrade just to stay ahead of the game. That is what we do.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps you understand the issue.

Is this possible or do I need to start looking for a new ISP. This is a gamers rant. I only have internet for my video games, and well lets face it, as it stands, between the hours of 8 am until midnight, the games are unplayable due to massive lag. A 300 steady to dallas/chi/ny from 3pm until 8pm, and after that it's in the range of 400-800.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01939721543326523796noreply@blogger.com
