Perry:

Edit: I didnt see a tech did resolve your issue with the signal levels. Lets hope it stays that way so you can continue destroying me from the air ;D.

Pinging ~60MS to your first hop is too high, and is your first indicator the problem lies with comcast. If it gets worse during peak hours, that is another sign your node is overloaded. Cable is a copper medium, so do you notice any change when it is wet or cold outside?

Sadly comcast doesnt care to fix network issues it seems. They probably want to dump the customers that actually realize it's comcast's network that is having issues, as they're likely the ones downloading lots of stuff anyways.

Also, DSL is just as likely to have these issues as cable. The fact that cable is a "shared" medium really doesnt mean much any more. All the DSL connections get aggregated at a DSLAM (similar to a cable node) and if that DSLAM is overloaded you will suffer in the same way as an overloaded node.

If your signal levels look good, and you notice no patterns other than it gets worse during peak hours, your node is likely overloaded.

But I'm too stubborn to sit out, so I play on anyways and make do. Just gotta stay off the front lines on the ground

I downloaded PingPlotter and let it run Tuesday night. Graph below is what I got.. I had to change the scale on the graph because several of the samples went above 500ms.

When I find one of the high ping samples, the problem seems to lie somewhere between my town and Dallas, but I know contacting Comcast is a waste of my time.. they'd just tell me to reset my cable modem or some such nonsense (tried reporting similar problems in the past..).

Hope "they" fix it soon so I can get back to playing normally
