Forced break

[Spunkmeyerr]

Hello,

I was not able to play the past two weeks because of technical difficulties with my internet connection.

At the hours we usually play at, i am experiencing severe packet loss which make playing online games and communicate in mumble pratically impossible.

I hope it'll be fixed soon so i can come back to play with you.

Hope it's all fixed soon mate. Good luck!

Really sorry to hear! I hope it gets better soon, how can I play without my favorite Frenchman?!

Best of luck Spunk! Hopefully you'll get it fixed soon

 

[Nutshell]

Update : my ISP is going to replace the customer-premises equipment, we'll see if it gets better after the change.

Thank you all for your support ! (especially Nutsack)

Update :

ISP changed the CPE but the one they gave me turned out to be a dud ! It kinda worked at first but then got stuck in a reboot loop... It was a refurbished unit that, i guess, didn't got thoroughly tested. That left me without connection for the past two weeks.

I switched it again yesterday and this time i got a brand new one that works properly, but the sad thing is the packet loss is still there on the evenings !

I'll make another tech support call this evening when the packet loss occurs and then they'll be forced to check for problems on their network.

Hopefully once the tech comes out they'll get it sorted and you'll be able to stream your kiddie goat porn at 1080p like God intended!

Tech support always sux. They can only ask "did you put your cable to the socket?"
And i'm thinking "yes i fuckin' did you endless moron"

Got the info from the ISP tech support that the problem is region wide, affecting around 37 000 customers, and the work has just started on adding capacity to their network. Unfortunately they did not gave me a timeframe for the end of the operation.

Probably next year with new budget if you are lucky.

ISP overselling? Colour me shocked. And a dark husky black. With pink flecks.
