After 5pm EST anyday = Super Ping Spikes...

I cannot game anymore with my crappy rogers connection.

I live in Toronto Ontario and in my area no DSL is available.

These are my tracert and ping to yahoo.com using my rogers connection and this is after they gave me a new line:

This is starting to get unbearable.... crazy ping spikes...and no alternative high speed connection in my area for approx 45$ a month.

I hope someone can give me some info on making things more stable. Speed is not a problem. It is just that it is so unstable it makes gaming impossible.

Have you called Rogers about this? There is a good chance that the problem is your modem or something else close to your house like the phub.

Also can you post your results for the line test

You're on the same gateway as me. There are way too many people connected to our gateway and Rogers has known about this problem for quite a while. Every time I speak to them they say they're still working on it. They only started segmenting our area at least 1 month ago, and I was told it wouldn't take more than 1 week. Before that I would complain and they wouldn't do anything about it, until more people started complaining. Call rogers and give them this ticket number: WFR189938 and ask what's happening.

Yes, I am using the motorola cybersurf.

I'll try to call and email them asking for a new modem.

But, from reading other people's experience with rogers, they will not replace your modem unless it is not working.

They only give NEW subscribers the new equipment.

a guy on the MTMC phub got a docsis modem after complaining to rogers for a long time... they just called him and told him they were gonna swap his modem
now he gets 6ms pings to the 1st hop and gets like 2200/370 speeds...

I just got off the phone with tech support. They said the ticket is still pending and he couldn't tell me much about the segmentation cuz he didn't have access to that info. Regarding docsis, he said I have to speak to someone in network design or a technician in order to confirm whether or not the area is docsis compliant. He wasn't sure that it was because the preferred modem that was listed was still Motorola.

My tech guy said that everyone else in my area is pinging and doing fine and that I was the only one getting these massive ping spikes and lag.

He said I already had a ticket open and told me to wait a few weeks (!).

I guess all I can do is wait it out.

Talk to friends and other people in your neighbourhood and see if they're getting the same problems you are. Tell tech support that you know people on your hub that are getting the same unstable connection as you are and that they're being told different stuff from you. Waiting isn't what you should do, you should be nagging them. Call a few times a week and insist that they do something.

Packets: Sent = 21, Received = 21, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 40ms, Maximum = 1032ms, Average = 277ms
if I check from outside to this gateway, I get a nice steady
ping time between 10 to 30 ms.
I have been complaining for months and follow up weekly.
My modem is a motorola cybersurfer, this modem is docsis
compliant by the way. I have been thinking about buying my
own modem, I read a post from a user in London who did this
and claimed much higher speed, but I was not able to get in touch with him for more details.
I have had techs from rogers check everything. I have my modem connected very close to where the cable comes into the
house and ethernet from it to my firewall. I have tried different combinations of modem location but no change.

I'm on mtmc too. sheppard/midland.
had rogers installed 2 weeks ago, and was provisioned with a cybersurfr -- no box, (recycled?).

At least I know it's not just me that's experiencing this.

Tried benchmarking my speed by ftping to the free user webspace at member.rogers.com, but my u/l kept timing out from packet loss.

Started ping'ing gateway with 1472 Byte length at 1 second intervals.
Got something like 40% packet loss.

32 byte pings showed tons of jitter.
Statistics: Out 100, in 96, loss 4%, times (min/avg/max) 15/105/500 ms

Emailed tech support about it, not exactly holding my breath.

I was pinging at 500+ ping last night (9:30pm EST Sunday)

ask to speak to a supervisor and explain your problem to them. the tech support that you speak to first don't usually have access to the kind of info you want to know. this problem isn't just a recent thing, i can remember my cable being crap since the first week of june last year. i started emailing them around that time and all they have said is 'our network engineers are working hard on your problem'. as far as i know they haven't done anything.

This is a major issue that is already being addressed by Rogers at the moment. They seem to be doing a MAJOR rebuild and segmentation in several areas mainly in the east (North Scarborough and possibly Markham). It's basically people who are using a Motorola modem as the phub that they are connecting to is far too congested. They've been working on this problem for a couple weeks now and by the looks of it, it could easily take another 3-4 weeks. A lot of work is involved (line upgrades, network equip, etc.) and permits seem to be slowing down the work (permits are needed for digging).

I, like most people here, am VERY PISSED off, but we can't do much. DSL isn't available in my area and I can't even consider dial-up.

ALL I CAN RECOMMEND (TO THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY EFFECTED BY THIS PROB) IS KEEP ALL THOSE TICKET NUMBERS WRITTEN DOWN AS YOU WILL NEED THOSE TO CLAIM CREDIT ONCE THE ISSUE IS FIXED. Trust me, they're ready to give the credit because it's a wide-area problem. Heck, I'm on my second free month right now!

"I want credit for this month" is a good start.

If they see your connection is crap then they'll give you credit. In my case they told me I'd definitely get credit for a few months. If they give you trouble about it ask to speak to a supervisor.

I live in the mtmc area. I used to have Rogers. I cancelled it a while ago because I was fed up with the huge ping times. I had been after them over a year, when finally they got rid of @home and I said screw this. I couldnt even get through to them, I had busy signals even at 4 and 5 am.

I'm using DSL now, I have 10-13 ms ping to my gateway regular as clockwork. My pings to everywhere are fine.

I MIGHT come back to Rogers sometime, but only if they can guarantee me a non-Cybersurfr modem. That way I know my area has been fixed to use Docsis. No docsis, lost customer for life. Anyways Rogers is still having problems. Sometimes I watch a ton of Rogers people dump off irc at once. The DSL people always stay connected.

3M dsl services available in June, $60-70 a month, upload speed is 80 K/S. And you get ALL of that 80 K/S. It doesn't drop because little Johnny next door came home from school.

I own my own domain so it's easy for me to change isps if they suck, I don't have to tell people my new email address.That's why I can hop around if I want to.

i would rather have a reliable service than one that requires me to call in and get credits. i don't know why they don't fix their problems right the first time around, all they are doing is pissing people off and losing more customers to their competition.

This is where Rogers is smart AND dumb. Many customers, like Tarekh and I, are unable to use DSL as it is unavailable in our area. Customers like us are REALLY pissed off, but we sure as hell know that we aren't going back to dial-up; Roger's knows this as well. On the other side, Roger's continues to fill up phubs way past limits until people REALLY start complaining. By "really", I mean when 100's of people from that effected area begin calling in and complaining. Roger's realizes that they need to fix the problem, but what's the rush? Maybe wait awhile and customer's will forget, or better yet the problem will magically solve itself. This sounds like the typical media corporation that is far too big to care for its customers. I was actually far more happier when Shaw was servicing my area, but you lucky ones in the west got Shaw instead.

All we can do know is wait at the mercy of Rogers...
