If I were a talk talk customer I would defo have already broken my contract and left them for an ISP that actually cares. If you don't believe what I'm saying, go do some simple looking up for info, you'll find I'm right, and you'll also find that there is an ongoing issue with Talktalks's core network that they half acknowledge. Your example of CoD is a tad back to front as well, if your the host all the other players consoles will be looking to your's for game signals, so actually as the host you have a very slight advantage as everyone runs off the back of your game. With regard to console gaming? I never have any issues hosting or joining and generally ping in game.is fine. My friend on Talktalks joke of a fibre offering? 400+ms ALL DAY EVERY DAY.įurther backed up by looking at in game ping to servers, for example HoTS or LoL will also present him with 200+ ping times when the rest of us see sub 50ms (unless you have people on the out skirts of the EU such as Russia, everyone will receive around 200ms) I run various ping checks on my line and run a couple of different services for me to remotely access, one of these services allows me to in real time monitor the pings of my friends connecting to my mumble server, averagely my friend on Sky Fibre is getting around 35ms, my friend on 120mb Virgin is between 35-45ms, another friend on 100mb Virgin connected via a powerline adapter is roughly 65-70ms ping sometimes slightly higher. Prior to BT releasing Infinity (FTTC annoys me they describe it as a fibre connection because its not - technically it is VDSL/VDSL2) I had ADSL2+ prior to inifinity and I could host 32 player console or pc games with an upload of about 2mb and download of around 6mb absolutely fine.
I'm with BT, I never have any of the gaming issues that the vast majority of people with lag issues related to gaming on here have. How do I know? Experience, as mentioned from working at several ISPs, and having used various ISPs myself. I can PROMISE you that console gaming is not subject to most of the issues you've described.
Sorry mate, but clearly you have no idea what your actually talking about.Īlot of what you've copied and pasted is technically correct, but a quick browse of the Talk Talk forums will confirm to you that Talk Talk fundamentally have a core network issue, mostly from what I've read its a DNS related issue, or as the urban myth goes, that at peack traffic/time they offload traffic to a server based in the US.
