Blizzard gaming on Home-Connect (Metrofibre)

Played a game or two last night and first time on my fibre that I have had a stable 200 ping, not the 175 but way better than 250-400 that it has been at, it is once again playable at least :)

Thanks for the feedback bud. Yep, definitely better than what it was. Looks like I'll be switching back :)

Just kinda sux that I used to get 20-30 ms less with them last year, but oh well.
 
No problem :)

Yeah, When I got fibre (I waited an entire year from when they said they would be installing to actually having it operational) and I was big into Overwatch at that time so when I logged on the first time to find shitty ping I was much sad, very wah xD I am glad we can sink some time back into it :)

I do want to ensure that it will stay there though because I don't want that to be a one time thing xD
 
I actually have a case number against home connect xD

I cancelled it months ago. was ready to switch to a different ISP, Paid the new ISP and everything.
Homeconnect still charges me and the new ISP says they can't get the line. phone home connect. Apparently I didn't cancel it correctly(Although I logged into their site and did it), So I did it again over the phone. Told Vox(The new ISP) about it and they gave my money back no questions.

Phoned home connect a few weeks later just because I had this little nagging feeling. No cancellation request, Not being cancelled.
Father's friend is a lawyer, Told me to get a case number if I have proof, Which I have a email from them stating that it was going to be cancelled(Which it isn't) soo yea. Telkom 2.0
 
Lovely xDD

Ping is back though xD was geting 190-200 average in games now:)

Damn, sorry to hear. Besides the latency issue that was fixed, I've always had the best service from Home-Connect.

Are you getting that latency constantly at peak times i.e 6-9pm?
 
Haven't played in peak hours, played around 9am and 4pm when I tried.
 
I play World of Warcraft on blizzards servers i play EU servers and my ping is always from 160 to 200. I'm with Telkom. Realy good ISP. I have not had any problems for years. Ping is always good and speeds is always constant.
