Kindly i would like to know is it true that i can contact my ISP ( IDM) and ask them to add me to gaming pool where i can get better ping times for online gaming??
i did an online test and i have a mean of 160ms
my current speed is 1.2 Mbps (i`m on open speed )
I left IDM last month due to high ping during online gaming,
I already was in the gaming pool thingy where you can get a real dynamic IP each time your modem syncs, but all of these didn't help !! I was still getting high pings ( 100 - 120 ms ) average to europe servers.
But my line was clean & perfect I was getting speed up to 14/16 MBps, I was on an Open Speed plan, and not far from the CO.
Each time I called and asked for the ping they started blaming ( my modem, filter, line, refrigerator, microwave,....we did 541684131 slowness tests, and access my laptop remotely many times....at the end - el meshkleh men 3andak )
I think your case is different, but what I am trying to tell you that even if you fix your line..with IDM you will face high ping !!
If you want a decent/stable latency in gaming, leave IDM, go to Ogero and ask them to turn off interleaving (Gaming/Fast mode - on their call center) you will get great values as I am getting now ( 50 - 70 ms ) to europe servers !
Any gamer can tell what can be done when your ping is decreased from (100-120) to (50-70)
