1 edit | It's a different IP block not properly ID'd by outside geo sites which is why your closest speedtest site is said to be Kansas.
More that likely the return routing is probably taking a different path back to you which is why the ping is slightly higher.
There's nothing to do if it's working fine for you.
If it's really a problem, change the MAC address of the device connected to the modem and reset the modem to get a new IP. |

There have been other SoCal rr customers who have posted in this forum recently that they were moved to the 98 block as well. It took some sites a while before they were ID'd properly -

The NEW IP RANGE SUCKS ass
THE PING TIME IS 50% HIGHER then the old ip range
to LA the old ip range is 15ms to 19ms
NEW IP RANGE 30 to 35ms includes huge LAG spikes upto 800ms
it also affects download and upload speeds to many sites
even if you do get a GOOD working ip the LAG SPIKES ARE THERE |

Why did this happen to me  . This sucks man, I'm a gamer and my ping to LA servers used to be around 18-23, now it's over 30 . I'm just going to keep renewing my ip, hope it works. |

| reply to SoCalResident1
It took me a lot of tries, but I got my ip back to 75.82.*.*
ping went down some, but not like before =/. Do you guys think I can get my ping back to normal if I keep renewing? |

Bandwidth has little bearing on latency. |

| Oh no! Your ping is a bit over 30! Sorry to say, but you really can't see the difference between those 10ms or less. And guaranteed, your ping is probably higher than that while in-game, as opposed to just pinging a server list. |

Counter-Strike: Source. Your actual ping varies greatly than what the score board actually says. Server side, it's higher.
I doubt this ping was jumping. But you obviously didn't listen to what I said punker. What I said was that you can't tell the difference between 18-23ms and 30ms. You really can't. I didn't say anything about it jumping at all. And you need to keep in mind, pings aren't always going to be constant. There's routing involved, and many other factors involved. Him changing his IP address was such a tiny small problem. OH NO! 7ms higher! Big freaking deal. Again, you can't even tell the difference between that. |

On the topic at hand: Latency from one point to another is only affected by the ROUTE your packet takes, not by the IP address. Now, it is very possible that the new IP addresses take a different route to get to your destination, but that isn't to say the route won't change.
That being said, a latency change from 15ms to 30-35ms really does not make a lot of difference, if any at all in online gaming.
Furthermore, it is nice you just put xx.xxx.xxx.xx punker, but that doesn't mean ANYTHING to us as none of us can see what server you are trying to ping. |

Ping statistics for 66.197.126.19:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 71ms, Maximum = 93ms, Average = 82ms
That is using my business internet line at work: A 15 Mbps up/down Ethernet hand-off. Very fast.
The IP adress mentioned is in Ashburn, VA - on the east coast. You aren't going to get anything better then about 70ms on that, simply because of the physical distance.
I am pinging from Los Angeles area.
Do a ping on ucla.edu and see what you get. It should be 25 to 30ms, which is NORMAL for the LA area, if you are IN the LA area.

said by Anonymous_:it was a ports issues and that it was on there end 3 things would show otherwise.
1. Verizon FIOS is affected by a similar issue.
2. Trace routes and pings show otherwise. Different protocol, no ports involved, same issue.
3. Routers mid path don't usually check the source or destination port and that is where the changes in lantecy is happening.
Use PingPlotter and reverse traces to pinpoint WHERE the increase is happening. |
