Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I need some advice.

My internet ping keeps spiking out all the tiime from 5pm to the early hours of the morning. I've run tracerts to ips with mad spikage all over the place, ping's in games go mad, teamspeak goes mad, anything. Even friends tracerting me have spikes all over the shop. So I cantact my ISP, they give me some vague solutions and I try them out and tell me that spiking on tracerts is nothing. WTF? no change. I've plugged myself straight into the master socket, tried a different PC, different routers, different adsl filters, everything I can possibly do with no change. Is it just my ISP being shit but they refuse to admit it? They keep telling me nothing is wrong and I'm the only one with problems. Should I just call it quits and get my MAC code and try someone else? I've never had trouble like this with my ping even with bad isp's.

I actually worked at a helpdesk for a ISP back in the day. When something like this would happen, I would usually forward the call to someone that was competent at their job.

Can't you threaten to cancel the service if they don't fix it? That's what I do when I have similar problems, doing that works 99% of the times here in Brazil :lol:

I even got a monthly 70% discount for one year on my cable tv bill because I threatened to cancel the service lmao
