Ordered Infinity

hi all,

Currently with sky unlimited, been tempted for awhile and have just ordered infinity with a new line.

Im a keen gamer, hows everyone finding infinity in cs: s and bf3? Any traceroutes to bbc would be brilliant! Will be keeping the other line and sky for work so ill compare when the engineer installs on the 9th

Thanks

That is slower than normal ... I normally get 10ms average but someone seems to have pouted treacle over the internet tis morning.

To balance it, I do find that my pings are considerably longer than what I had for Bethere:

Interleave is usually around 20-25ms.

Enjoy!

Time to change your sig and Profile.

Not bad at all ...

Have you set up a Broadband Quality Monitor? Located at: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping

Have but seems to not respond to pings. Will have to log in to router and i allow it to be pinged i presume?

Yes.

Awesome latency!

Any idea of what i need to enable? Had a quick look through the settings but couldnt see anything

Edited by deleted (Fri 09-Dec-11 18:30:24)

Home Hub 3? Sorry, no idea. Are there any firewall or security pages?

No, it doesn't respond to pings. You need a device in the DMZ that does

Good speed and latency, enjoy

Don't know if it's the same for the v3 hub but the v2 can't be made pingable. I'd imagine the v3 would be the same and you'll have to buy another router if you want to setup a BQM. I hope I'm wrong though.

Damn, that's a frustrating decision by the designers of the HH2 / HH3!
