not bad. so what do you ping in the server?

try the following (it will not harm your computer)

press the "Win" button and "R" to bring up Run.exe

type into the window "cmd"

You'll see a 16 or 32 bit command screen appear. type the following

Code: Select all

tracert 208.100.45.14

This will show you how many different places you must connect to before even entering the server.
after the trace is completed type this in

Code: Select all

ping 208.100.45.14

this will show you how much data is lost(if any) and received.
doing this will help you deduct certain information in order to know how strong your connection is to the server. These are basic commands that most of us know already. Alternatively, you can Right click inside the cmd box and click paste to paste in the console command and ip address without actually having to type it.



You can also use a security scanner to see a more in depth detail of what and who you're connecting to.

that's not throttling thats low priority ICMP

1st hop is ur router hence the sub 1ms
2nd is ur default gateway, showing 3 round trips of 26,13, and 27 ms (none are particularly bad but meh)
3rd is some core router and its showing 3 round trips of 7,9 and 9

ping normally continues to be higher at each hop past ur default gateway, the 9ms pings at the 3rd hop show a router with normal ICMP priority which wouldn't be possible unless the router before it was passing that same data at 9ms

i.e. all comcast is doing is setting lower priority on that default gateway for ICMP (pings) than it does for real traffic which makes sense and is common, some hops don't respond at all to ICMP

I would like to recommend these two programs to anyone who has a bad ping and windows, that have reduced my ping by a factor of 40-60, which means that my internet has been improved and made more stable for Tribes and also downloads or loading of Pages in the browser is faster.
1) SG TCP Optimizer is free (important, always save before tweaking)
