My network statistics:
0CTOBER 24, 16:23 CET, 7:23 AM SLT
---------------------------------------------
FPS: 1,9
Bandwidth: 5 kbs
Packetloss: 5,3
Ping Sim: 661
How am I supossed to enjoy and "live" in this world with these stats. I just changed ISP, I have high speed internet, fiber, 100/10 mbs. What is wrong with the network, why does the network slow down when it reaches US mainland, aren't we supossed to be able to "play" SL also from Europe. Packet loss starts at the first US-above-net and continues all the way to lindenlab. (13 hosts to reach the LL-sims!?) I've used the WinMTR statistics to monitor the stats.
Okay I know I have a lousy client, but the network problems added to it makes it impossible for me to enjoy SL. The lag is overwhelming, I can barely move.
This started about a week ago, have no idea of why or what has happened. I'm really frustrated.
Any techie reading this or if you know somebody, please please help me out.

There's not much you can do about how the internet routes your connection to the LL servers. I'm not sure what anyone can suggest here to fix that. But there are some things you can do that might help. First would be to reset your modem and/or router. Second I would call the ISP......it's possible they throttle your connection to servers that send as much data as LL does. Also find out if your service provider caps your bandwidth......it's getting near the end of the month and, if capped, you may been getting close to that max limit.
I gather you are in Europe so I'm sure you know the latency will always be higher for you than someone who is located in the continental US.........unfortunate, but the internet technology just hasn't reached a point to solve that yet. LL has stated plans for co-locating servers in Europe........that should make a problem like yours a little less severe. Problem with that is that it does nothing for you right now. |

Thank's for answering, well my computer is conncted straight to the broadband plug, no router or modem. Atm I have 2 different ISP providers and the result is about the same, I don't know if all the ISP providers in Sweden routes through the same routers overseas. Guess I have to call them and ask them, and I don't have any lbroadband limit btw, so it's not that. I didn't have any network issues until about a week ago, I don't know if it's because there are more ppl sitting at home now when it's getting colder outside in northern Europe and on the East coast of the US, using internet more then during the summer, and the routers get overloaded...??! Can't wait until Linden Lab place some routers in Europe, that would be so great.

Probably stupid question, but I think I read something about one of the 3rd party clients accidently setting default network bandwidth to 5kbps. What do you have Edit/Preferences/Network/Bandwidth set to?
I am in the U.S., but often on a terrible laptop so routinely have an fps of less than 5, and sim ping over 500, so I sympathize. I'd be interested to know what your general bandwidth is to the U.S. Try testing it at: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?flash=1 LL is of course in San Francisco. They also have servers in Dallas. |

Interesting, however I don't have any problems with Firefox and browsing the internet, but it might be worth a try to uninstall it.... thank you |

Funny I just have run the speedtest and the pingtest, but I forgot the numbers, I will do it again but I have tested against SF and Dallas and the ping rating varies between B-D. These are the sites I use: http://www.speedtest.net/index.php and http://www.pingtest.net/ My settings for bandwidth was set to 1500 but then I read on a wiki page that if it's too high it may slow you down, so I lowered it to 500-700. Okay... Speedtest: Stockholm - San Fransisco Download: 1.45 Mbs Upload: 0,59 Mbs Ping: 198 ms Pingtest: Stockholm - San Fransisco Packet loss: 0% Ping: 204 ms Jitter: 44 ms Grade D Pingtest: Stockholm -Dallas Packet loss: 0% Ping: 186 ms Jitter: 1 ms Grade B Compared to the Linden Lab servers: Bandwidth: 5 kbs Packetloss: 5,3 Ping Sim: 661 Btw. What's wrong with this forum, can't insert an url, why is html code off? |
