i just switched to a Cable connection, and am very happy with my download speeds, but my pings have gone through the roof. This applys in BF2 (Irecieved my first ever kick for ping yesterday and have had loads of glitches etc), but is a more general problem. Every test I have run, DanElwell, Speedtest.net etc is showing very high pings and packet-loss.
I contacted my ISP support (Blueyonder, which is NTL/Telewest), and today recieved a reply. They say that my Modem Power Levels are too low. Ive never heard this explanation before, and wonder if anyone can explain, or has had similar experience. Although they have arranged an engineer visit to 'fix' the problem, I'd like to be a bit more informed about this so I can judge if they are dealing with my fault adequatly.
Im still in the trial period, so I need to decide quickly whether to stay with this ISP.
So like I say, anyone had Modem Power Level problems?
