I can sympathize and only now realize that interleaving is ruining my online gaming experience.
I'm with Eircom 500metres from the Nenagh Exchange.
The packageis 2MB Home Plus but the QOS & bandwidth dropped drastically when I upgraded from the 1MB Home Starter. Average bandwidth is now 30K to 100K.
This is barely acceptable for simple downloads & surfing. What is totally unacceptable is the QoS ranging from 5-30%.
What use is this when online gaming??? The ping averages 40-50ms which is substandard. To aggravate the situation, constant dropouts of 500ms to 1500ms ruin the response times required.
There seems to be no decent data-rate management and if Eircom are in the 21st century they should understand that a 40K minimum guaranteed uninterrupted data-rate is essential to the gaming community; a 100K average is useless if it includes 1.5 second dropouts.
To add insult to injury, the service drops out completely every few hours. I have to run a continuous 1bit ping in the background to maintain service. Surprisingly enough, this also tends to maintain the data-rate at a reasonable level. It looks like Eircom are using some kind of hybrid on demand DSL with basic unmanaged 48-port switches at the exchange and a high level of interleaving to compensate for bad lines.
Multiple calls to support only result in temporary performance improvements. Currently I am so frustrated with this service that I have been advising everyone to shift to a more progressive service.
Can anyone advise on this???
LONG LIVE LLU !!!!!!
