Heavy packet loss

Post by potatochan »

hey there,

well we got some shitty ISP here, giving us max 348kbs downstream and 48kbs up stream
meaning my max. download rate is 40-50kbs and max. upload rate 5-9kbs.

ive been living with this since a year now, and yeh its annoying.

for example:

even when my little sister goes ICQ and chats, I will get disconnected, followed by a short lagg spike and then bye.

So is there any command, that Bf2 keeps me Ingame?

I don't think so. You need a router that can prioritize traffic.
IE: It makes sure your data goes through on time and holds back or delays other traffic.
See below

If you have a busy network you can also get dropped if your packets are consistently getting delayed due to high traffic.( your ping jumps way up from time to time)
You can check your ping with a free tool like Plotter Freeware 1.1
Always download from sites you know and trust.
Always scan new downloads before you run them as well.
If your running Xp you can tune up your internet connection with TCP Optimizer to maximize throughput.
check out speed guides web site
click here to use their TCP/IP Analyzer
results will show if you can improve throughput.

Having a router like D-links gamers lounge, that can prioritize traffic( they call it GameFuel), can make a night and day difference.
This GameFuel improves your online gaming experience by ensuring that your game traffic is prioritized over other network traffic, such as FTP or Web. This is of course much more helpful on networks with more than one user, but if you like to download bit Torrets or other large files in the background while gaming you'll be glad you have one that can prioritize or 'shape' traffic.

Good luck

thanks,

i am even using a repeater to extend my routers signal range and that makes it even worser, sadly my router doesnt support prioritizeing traffic, are there any programs which can do that?
