    Gaaaaahh...my Ping!!

    hello,

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this...yesterday afternoon I was logging on for some TF2 action..but my ping to ALL of my favorite servers (including the TG servers) was in the 500 to 700 range!! Normally I connect to the TG servers well below 100, sometimes even in the 50's.

    Nothing out of the normal happened on my end...I'm not sure what the heck happened. I won't be able to check it again until I get home from work, but I was just curious if anyone else experienced that last night?? Something must have screwed up between my end and the servers...but I hope it doesn't stay like this..

    Chappie

    Do a traceroute next time you see this. From a windows command prompt:

    tracert 75.125.55.2

    If your ping was that high in general, you were likely downloading/uploading something. Or someone was if your on a network.

    yeah this has happened to me a few times aswell, normally the TG server is 150 ping but at that time it was above 500. Even uk servers were over 200 ping.

    No idea why it jumped?

    (BTW, my ping is usually ~10 )

    Tracing route to ev1s-75-125-55-2.ev1servers.net [75.125.55.2]
    over a maximum of 30 hops:

    Trace complete.

    I have no idea why this happening...I still have a good ping to quite a few servers..just not the TG servers and a few other of my favorites..

    Re: Gaaaaahh...my Ping!!

    I do know that all those numbers are the different hops that my ping takes to get to the TG server...but I have no idea why it gradually increases from hop 5 until the server...I've always had a good connection to both TF2 TG servers....

    Maybe you can get a topigraphical representation of how it is routed. Not that that would make a difference, but you never know.


    Could be a router is getting swamped and slowing down because so many people are online. This isn't really my specialty.

    Looks like your provider has routed you over a bad/slow/congested link or your provider has trouble against TG's provider for some reason. Either way, report this error to your provider if this is still a problem.

    Re: Gaaaaahh...my Ping!!

    Just a quick update, apparently I wasn't the only person in my area experiencing this issue. The entire metro St. Louis area was reporting similiar problems...Charter fixed the problem finally after about 4 days...I never did find out what the exact problem was. But all is back to normal. I'm still seriously considering switching to DSL after the Thanksgiving holiday though...
