I should have my new connection tomorrow noon. It was delayed so I had to renew my VISP connection 9 days ago. If it's reliable, this is my last month with VISP. It's been almost two years with no indication that VISP will ever start to care about home users.

vengeance, try pinging 2.2.2.10. any packet loss?

I've been trying the external real IP but I keep reverting to internal fake IP.
On real IP, I get 1000ms ICMP and game ping most of the time. Any chance that can be fixed? I'd like to go back to using real IP before they run out please.
Any idea, nuclearcat?

well after a long disappearence i tried to play today cs on VISP servers , since i stopped my wow subscription until something is done about the terrible latency we're having , anyway guess what ? 140 latency on cs to VISP's own servers instead of a should be 30 or 40 at maximum and i'm a VISP user for god sakes , oh come on ! even players from bourj hammoud and players close to the servers were even lagging !
Nuclearcat, slashdot pages don't load correctly at night behind visp connection. But it works under another connection. any idea why? I get half loaded or corrupted pages.
The past week I was getting 100-120ms on most european servers in COD4 and almost 170ms to North America, I was living a dream that i thought it finally came true until today where it risen up again to the regular, messy, laggy, annoying 700 -1200+ms!! :S
no i play on cracked servers, most of them servers are posted on epcgaming.com

Nuclearcat would you mind checking if links from slashdot.org work for you at night please? it won't take much time. just open the site and click on any article link.

why don't you use simply Xfire , all CoD4 players around here use it , and good servers are listed too ! there's WoW servers too etccc like tons of games available and it's free to use
@hussam

i have been facing similar problem... like the link u just gave it wont open it will like freeze in the middle... the same thing for youtube, amazon,google-analysiz etc...

btw am using ubuntu that is why... for some odd reason the internet i have from a retailer just wont open in ubuntu... yet in windows it works fine...

never the less the connection at uni work perfect with ubuntu...

in conclusion: problem with internet connection running correctly on ubuntu...
I'm not running Ubuntu but I am running Linux. In any case, it shouldn't matter because I feel it is some glitch from VISP. Firefox behaves the same on windows and Linux. At least I think it does. I don't have a windows installation to try. I've been running the same ArchLinux installation since very early 2006. Also I tried with webkit too. Same behavior. So obviously a glitch at VISP. Sadly, I'm being ignored by them and it's a bit rude to be honest.
Also this problem only happens between 6PM and 3AM (peak time).
I will try shift+reload tomorrow when it happens again. Perhaps incorrect data is getting cached or something,,
slashdot seems have some kinds of timeouts
at peak time it is dropping "slow" connections like hell, till now - no idea why it's like this

Dude thats how I play CoD4, through Xfire by saving my favorite severs that I collect mainly from epcgaming, xfire buddies,some other websites and what not, but you cant change the fact that Visp is laggy as hell and is almost impossible to enjoy online multiplayer gaming with 500-600+ms..

Why am I getting this message whenever I wanted to test my latency??



I cant even connect to any server in multiplayer games, even youtube doesn't work anymore on the phone
all the times im getting connections lost to host or time outs.
I dont have any firewall or antivirus installed by the way, everything was working normally.
oh that ?? i get that all the time , it just works by itself later , im not sure why it happens ... but VISP is getting worse day after day , especially with online gaming.
yeah its only a browsing and msn chat ISP f&* it...nothing else works, neither youtube, nor torrents, online gaming is impossible.
you get the idea, personal advice no one subscribe to this provider.
too bad I cant change isps because of my location..I have to deal with the shit I have.
One big NOTE for guy with nick MegaCool
You are subscribed to Sub-ISP, who use just solution of VISP, and even part of his backbone (and it is crapping during peak time) is not from VISP
If someone pretend to be VISP customer, he should have:
1)Contract with VISP
2)Username with @visp.net.lb at the end
3)This username should work at https://customer.visp.net.lb

Anything else is not pure VISP customer.

In short: YOU ARE NOT VISP CUSTOMER.
And i see that by IP on picture, and i know this Sub-ISP. Even some things is used from VISP (ip for browsing too).

Is it enough clear?
nuclearcat wrote2)Username with @visp.net.lb at the end
I have a question. I'm a direct customer with a @visp.net.lb username.
Does that mean I have a @visp.net.lb email address or is this just to identify direct customers?
just to identify, but it is not a problem for me to create mailbox, if you want
