In reply to a post by mpellatt:
Well, not much choice at this site. Only unbundled supplier so far is Orange (yeah, right), tho CPW/TT/Opal allegedly go live on Saturday. Which also feels like a move from frying pan into fire. Oh for O2/Be, or LLU UKOnline.

I'll just go back to Zen.

I like/d Idnet's service and their product, but when I pay more specifically so that I have a decent connection (in all regards) for online gaming, then right now (and for most of the last week) Idnet aren't providing that.

Their service at present is at best sporadic - in regard to latency.

I am having a fair bit of trouble with my pings as you can see from my post earlier in the thread.

Thinks got a back to normal and now they are bad again, I pinged the address in bills earlier post, the results are below. frown

Re: Poor Pings - Part 2

[re: Jack_Hackett] [link to this post]

I'm getting exactly the same (various addresses) even after numerous router reboots. The ONLY peak time when all was good in the last 7 days was Tuesday evening.
Last night was diabolical again in regards to latency. Unfortunately that was the last straw for me, as I thought after Tuesday evenings good performance all was back as it should be.

However and reluctantly i have just migrated away from Idnet now.

The poor pings in the evening, at peak gaming time, is a major reason why I stopped playing clan wars in UT. This chart for the 24 hours leading up to now is typical:

24 hours of pings

There's no doubt it's been getting worse over the last week. Bar Tuesday night, I've not been able to play online due to latency problems for around about a week now.
Whats annoying is that you can get ready to select say your favourite server and the latency will look ok. Once ingame you then note some problems (such as others suggest you are "warping" amongst a few) and upon checking the latency you'll see it's all over the place,.
In the main the latency will creep up to 4x the amount that is normal when using a particular server.

I appreciate that evenings are peak time, but this never used to have a noticeable negative impact on the Idnet network. Short of tuesday evening, I've seen nothing in around 7 days to suggest that Idnet are on top of the problem and making some progress.
