Re: Feedback for VISP

Online ping with Real ip is around 150ms and without it is 70ms anything wrong with real ip's nuclearcat?

What kind of download speeds are you getting?

Re: Feedback for VISP

I get 156ms icmp ping to game server in canada but 355 to 500ms ingame ping (port 2000). it's been high ping since last evening.
At the beginning of the month, i was getting 160s ingame ping.

Re: Feedback for VISP

I have a 4mb connection I had  great ping(60-70ms) but only 64KB download at day time and torrents were disabled so I got a real IP the other day and Download speed isnt improved much still 60-100kb and ping is 120-180. only benefit it seems is you can download torrents with real IP :(

and yes icmp ping to europe is 70ms too but ingame its a different story.

Re: Feedback for VISP

Around 20 to 32kbytes now. Was a constant 120kbytes/second at the beginning of the month and I managed to get a few pending downloads done. but since last night, ping went high too.
I am getting a phone line soon so the option of moving to DSL is still there.

Game ping is in 3000s now. eventhough ICMP ping is 161ms....

Re: Feedback for VISP

Can something be done at least about the latency? it suddenly turned really bad at 11AM and now 1500+ ms spikes.

Re: Feedback for VISP

On ISP level it is fine, most probably link to your building affected. It is endless issue and i am unable to solve it permanently. I suggest to install ADSL (and maybe better to use Ogero for gaming), since it will be endless issue and additionally we shut down long time broadband project for end-users, it is not profitable to have headache with unregulated RF space in Lebanon for few customers in building, we are just keeping old users who doesn't have alternatives - to not leave them without internet.
Sure if you plan to stay longer time i can ask wireless guys to fix connection to ur building, but it will help for a while only.

Re: Feedback for VISP

Real IP ping seems better today 80-100 thank you nuclearcat I hope it remains that way!!

Edit: It is still fluctuating to 160 sometimes but better overall.

I am going to get a phone line soon. Is VISP DSL better?
I asked someone in my building and he told me he will figure out which CO I can go to by tomorrow morning.

Re: Feedback for VISP

I think VISP is not better. For your requirements Ogero is better, honestly. But it depends on luck, Ogero is not very responsive, in case you face some problems.

Not really if they throttle ports used in online games too on DSL.
And this last upgrade really messed things up.

It's none of my business but .. Cable connection is just terrible no matter who provides it. I was with VISP for 5 6 years and must say : the last 2 were an abomination of internet. 2 years since I left them and never complained about ping or lower speed than I am paying for ( must mention almost 100% uptime .. No outages ). I still know people who still have VISP here and ... Really bad , I can't imagine dealing with that anymore.

Visp has its tons of problems for sure but lets say if you want to play a game that has ingame built in voicechat, you can only use it with Visp Real ip. Dsl's dont work and if everything is going smoothly ping is better than DSL.

Re: Feedback for VISP

@iron about the voice chat thing, it's not correct. I played an mmorpg used voice chat on ogero and cable internet, no real ips..
Also used teamspeak, no problems.

Re: Feedback for VISP

NuclearVision - on Ogero SIP based chat with high chance will not work.
With cable internet - it is not VISP generally, but resellers, who are very far from doing professional network. Their networks are nightmare and shame for me, but i have zero influence on resellers policy.

I have had a real IP from VISP for years now (before it was a paid addition). This is my 6th year using VISP.

Direct customer. No resellers in my area. But I get 5 to 20ms ping to internal VISP addresses. The unstable ping is to the outside world.
Outages which make me have to pay real money in a free online game to recover from dying to lag can be nerve wrecking sometimes.
At one point, I was almost banned because they thought the constant disconnections meant I was trying to macro.
Right now, I am still in the process of trying to figure out which CO to go for a phone line.
Then I will decide where to go next.

Re: Feedback for VISP

hussam - ur issue, that u are single customer in building, and wireless to this building is not good.
And it is totally not feasible to install professional grade equipment that costs few thousands for single customer. Wireless in Lebanon is almost dead, we understood it 2 years ago. It was just a way to give internet for customers, who can't get DSL.

That is not correct. I play Dota 2 and ingame voice chat works flawlessly. And I'm a former WoW player ( EU ) , played for a year and a half on DSL and used Teamspeak , Ventrillo , Raidcall and Mumble also flawlessly during the entire period.
