UGH! Comcast Florida switched us over to their network tonight.

Saw the DHCP server drop then a new one come up at 1:15 am.

Pings are lower BUT there's a couple of flaky routers and I'm getting like 20% packet loss. Browsing's fine but gameplay is impossible.

ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!

I sure hope they get it fixed soon.....

Wow! 3 hours later the packet loss is gone and my pings are half what they were with @home!

Hope it stays that way...

How about a speed test, most of the people I have seen have lost at least a meg a second down?

About what it should be:

** Speed 1092(down)/119(up) kbps **

Frankly bandwidth isn't much of a concern for me as long as it's anywhere near the 1.2/128 they promise.

While I've always had good gameplay, my pings have been disappointing for a cable connection whil on @Home. I rarely found a game server under a 95 ping and 130 was more common for my best servers.

We also went through a LOT of hops - most of my game server were over 14 hops.

Now I'm seeing a much better arrangement. I've actually got a server that's pinging around 40 and only has 7 hops.

So far I'm happy.

Oh, BTW, looks like Comcast is in bed with AT&T here... trace route with reverse DNS lookup returns AT&T names on all the routers before my backbone
