I just switched my ISP because I moved. I went from 10 mb/s cable to 1.5 mb/s dsl. All in all most stuff I do on the internet isnt that much slower now.
When I log into 2142 all the server pings get listed between 200 and 500. Before with cable it started at like 10 and went up. If I go into servers and watch my ping from the scoreboard it starts out at about 60 or so and then sometimes spikes up to over 200. Sometimes I make it through a round or two but I almost always end up getting kicked because of a high ping spike, even if its only for a few seconds. The game runs fine with no lag at all the whole time even when the ping has spiked.
I also notice that the server list now lists like 250 servers where before it was only like 90.
I never had issues before so I know most of my problem is the new ISP. There is nothing faster available here. I reconfigured my TCP/IP settings for the new speed but didnt make much difference. I notice that if I restart my modem right before I play that it goes smoother for a bit.
Anyone have any other suggestions? Any ideas why the server ping is high on the list but then fine when I join ?(at least for a bit).
