barrysworld is now peered directly to eircom via the london internet exchange. i've done a few tests and the hops have been cut from 13 to 8, very impressive indeed and only 2 hops off slosh.ign.ie so very playable. i also didn't experience any of the packetloss or lag spikes of last week. thanks go to bigfoot at barrysworld for sorting us all out. bring on the euroctf

This has actually made my connection with eircom > bw worse believe it or not. Before I was getting 120 ping no pl to bw servers on eircom. Now i get 190-230 with 10-15pl :/ fs :(

overall with less hops you'll see much much improved stability which is just as important as a decent ping. N/s i'd tracert your connex, it sounds dodgy m8 Eircom/Dub Indigo/Dub sweet pings on the server not just in dos.

Eircom changing their peering has f-all to do with other isp's.

The peering should only effect Eircom and its "sub" ISPs, any others having problems do a traceroute to 213.221.174.36 and drop me a copy and i'll pass it on. Now we are peered if you are on Eircom and having problems there is a good chance that this is due to Eircom.

I was playing on a bw server one night about 7 and for about 20 mins had a ping of 50 no pl then half way through I lagged totally for about 30 secs and from that its been total crap :(

It would be nice if they'd peer with esat too, then I could play from work.
As it is I have to live with a 30 ping from work, but it goes over 18 hops.... so it's not a very reliable connection, prone to packet loss etc. making it not much fun.

I'll do that. Bif?.. Bigfoot?
I'm on a 512K leased line from Esat to the work place. The problem is it's crap since there is always some gimp hogging the bandwidth. The BW problem is more to do with routing though.
