Hi,
If the servers are half way around the world, not much can be done, but you can try this:
Reduce game network latency in Windows 7 or Vista Life & Code
Results may vary, but some have gotten great results.
You could also run a trace to a frequent server and see where the packets are dropping/hanging. Your ISP might not be dropping, but after that a bad router on another network in route to a game server could be the problem.
I have read your original post. You state you are getting 980kbits down... that is not very good. Not if you have a 10Mbit connection. Is it truely 980kbits, if so there is your problem.
A 10Mbit connections should be 10240Kbit. If you are getting 980 there in lies your problem.
Could double check those numbers again?
You could try disabling network autotuning.
Run command prompt in admin mode and type:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
I had problems with high pings and even my Internet connection just disconnecting itself when playing games or downloading, and disabling it fixed it.
If that doesn't make a difference, then you can just re-enable it by typing:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
I am currently on a trip and on wifi, so I can't really do the speed test here in South-Africa. I am sorry. But yes, it was strange to me, too.
It was not what i thought when i got the connection. Tech support helped me out with that and they said all I said in my previous post.
I take the most from my internet connection with cable.
@Everlong18
I will try that out, too. Thanks !
EDIT: Tried that out, it sure reduced ping in wifi. When I get back home, I will give you further information. Thank you!
@Sanvean
Have done these steps about half a year ago, I tried them all through again, of course, but it didn't help. Anyways, Thank You for your interest .
