Re: Houston Road Runner... High Pings Again##&&@@
Hi I live in houstonand have recentely run in to this problem also. I rent a gaming server in NYC and always pinged no more than 60 and now my ping is over 100. And I even tried pinging my server providers house which is in Albany, NY 150mi north of my servers location and pinged my normal 60 but to the gaming server my tracert says i'm being routed to PHO and LA and I end up with the 100 to 120 ping which I cant play with since the other people in my gaming community get between 20 and 60 pings! This started 3 days ago and I wondering what changed? Please help |

| Ran into this problem on the east coast last year....routed from NY to LA, back to NY again.
Roadrunner runs over the AOL Data Transit Network, and we were all seeing 100ms pings for about four months. I think in the end it was a borked router.....
It happened again later but ended in about a week. This might pass on its own if they've just got some network hardware issues.
Best you can do is call to report it. Roadrunner says they have no control over ADTN, and ADTN as an organization is about as consumer accessible as the President....
If it's all of Houston, best you can do is complain en masse. |
