Yep, happened to me last summer too.. that's why I went back to DSL.
The trouble is the AOL Data Transit Network (I guess AOL insists that TWC use it?). Anyway, at peak hours it sucks incredibly... in fact, it just sucks ALL the time. Look at the number of hops just to get beyond AOL!

Showing distinct signs of my ignorance here
Does one have to use AOL as a provider when using Road Runner?
Or is it just on the portion of the net that is used?
====
My reference to ignorance is two fold:
• I know nothing about RR
• I know nothing about AOL

You can choose Roadrunner, Earthlink or (I think?) AOL as your ISP when signing up for cable modem service from Time Warner Cable.
The trouble that I had was that even though I was using Earthlink as my ISP, TWC routed everything through the crappy AOL Data Transit Network.

I was afraid of that -
I was wanting to switch to cable a little later on
and would have retained Mindspring as an ISP. From what you say, I would probably have that same problem. |

All of the "atdn.net" hops are the AOL Transit Data Network.

From a command/MS-DOS window, type "tracert [name of site or IP]". For example, "tracert www.dslreports.com" or "tracert 123.456.7.8"

| ya i remember the problem back in july really ticked me off
it lasted a whole month. The browsing and downloads arent bad at all for me its online gaming. Its like i told the RR tech, i work hard for my money 10 -12 hour days and i pay $45 a month for this service when i get off work and i want to relax i like to get online with my friends and go fragging. Pinging 250 to a server we pay $130 a month for just adds to the frustrations of 13 year olds kicking my ass. I hate isp's they all have issues and its never their fault |

Am I understanding correctly that you pay $130 per month to access this gaming server? |

My 2 cents worth: -
get the others that are playing, to chip in and help you pay for this server. **

Sometimes a trace will default to the owner's address and location and not reflect the true physical address of the hop.
I'm not defending the TimeWarner routing, nor the atdn network.
I've had occasional problems myself.
But they have been few and far between since the problems early last summer.

I really wish we had more choices in broadband maybe then these companies would actually care if their product is subpar and start losing customers |

Leander, TX | If a low ping is the most important thing to you, maybe you should consider an ISDN line. Not as fast, but a much more stable ping. |
