Guest dog breath Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 My typical ping is 90 to 100ms. Packet loss is negligible, most of the time. I'd like to get my ping lower, but on one of the 10 hops, it jumps from 25ms to 95ms. That hop belongs to hopone.net, one of four hops in that domain. So....I think I have little chance of convincing that huge company to do anything about it. Is there some way that I can instruct my browser to approach the Continuum zone from some other route? Or do I just grin and bear it? Thanks,Mark Just for the record, here's the trace from the command line: Tracing route to sls-cb9p7.dca2.superb.net [66.36.241.110]over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 3 ms 3 ms 3 ms 192.168.0.1 2 12 ms 12 ms 12 ms adsl-69-230-63-254.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net [69.230.63.254] 3 13 ms 105 ms 13 ms dist3-vlan55.irvnca.pbi.net [67.114.48.65] 4 22 ms 13 ms 12 ms bb1-g9-0.irvnca.sbcglobal.net [151.164.92.192] 5 28 ms 27 ms 28 ms ex1-p10-0.pxpaca.sbcglobal.net [151.164.190.82] 6 26 ms 26 ms 27 ms ge4-0-6.core1.pao1.hopone.net [66.36.224.221] 7 96 ms 97 ms 96 ms ge1-0-4.core1.iad1.hopone.net [66.36.224.29] 8 98 ms 96 ms 97 ms ge11-1.core2.dca2.hopone.net [66.36.224.53] 9 97 ms 98 ms 98 ms vl2.msfc1.distb1.dca2.hopone.net [66.36.224.228] 10 97 ms 99 ms 98 ms sls-cb9p7.dca2.superb.net [66.36.241.110] Trace complete.
rootbear75 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) dont use the command prompt. Use continuum's built in Tracer and if the problem IS hopone (which it usually is), there isnt anything you can do about it.Hopone has been having routing problems for continuum for years...

Samapico Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Continuum's trace tool shows packetloss, which is most likely what you're experiencing. Even if the average packetloss shown ingame is not very high, it happens that one of the hops (hopone.net is good at that) drops like 75% of the packets.
