doylebl Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Just curious if anyone else last night had a rough time with connection on ps4...My connection has been amazing up until last night. Checked my connection from the netduma and everything seemed fine on my end. Cheers
ltr7 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Mine went to crap around 9:30-10:00pm MT U.S. Pings were up to 150ms and two bar in game. I also notice when this happens if you do a speed test on PS4 it will show REALLY slow speeds, mine were as low as 7mps down .788mps up. My internet was operating at full speed, so I'm guessing it has to do with Sony's servers.
ltr7 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 So this is just a theory of mine, and it may just affect people who are farther off the grid like myself. I think when things get busy on the Internet in the evenings mostly, people like me in remote areas will start to suffer sooner and more than most when it comes to ping. Sony's congestion problems are probably not to different either ie busier times of day create more strain on the limited network we have in place. Take a look at this internet network map, I'm in the big black spot otherwise know as Montana lol.
ltr7 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I think Charter cable has a Main trunk that comes from the east coast and that's why I get better ping over there then I do even though I'm closer to the west coast. Just my own personal theory, but what do I know lol.
bagsta69 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I was on for a few hours 01.00 hrs UK time with a friend from East coast USA and was running smooth as silk. PS4

ltr7 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 How's gaming on the islands? What kind of pings do you get on average?
ltr7 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm almost positive it's a congestion issue, I checked all connections this morning all good. Ping to the ded I use the most was 45ms played a few games and- this was the last three games I played last night with 100+ms ping and two from this morning with less than 50ms ping. Holly WOW ping is king!!!
vincho31 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 indeed it was terrible ... most probably sony's server issue ( i hope !)
fuzzy clam Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah i've been saying that for weeks.They definitely have something going on with their servers and have had for some time.Sony's got maintenance scheduled tomorrow,so maybe they'll fix some things. And don't get me started on Charter Communications and their issues with line quality and jitter cuz i'm at war with them right now.
lilstone87 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Well guy's I know it's easy to point blame at one person(or thing). But congestion during peak usage hours, most the time is related to your own ISP, and the routing path they're using during that period. That is not to say there isn't congestion issue's related to the dedi server's during prime time hours. I'm just pointing out these kind of problem's normally start out a little closer to home then you would think.
doylebl Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks guys for the replies. I was getting around the same pings which is between 40-60 but it wasn't playing smooth. I'll keep trying
F1RE-BUG Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Was on last night.... 11pm till about 1am UK north east England and it was pants....
Elikenui Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 How's gaming on the islands? What kind of pings do you get on average? It's pretty terrible for FPS gaming. The netduma has been amazing though. Prior to this router, I'd say about 90% of the lobbies I'd get placed in were just horrific, with unplayable, WTF lag. Now, I can limit the lobbies to just the West coast where I can get a ping of 65-70 ms on the low end. It's not great, but at least I can compete a little better with that kind of connection. Rarely, there will be a player hosted lobby in Hawaii and I get to experience what everyone else raves about when the connection is really good.
ltr7 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I feel your pain, when mine is really acting up I'll see as high as 150ms. Glad to hear the Netduma is helping out, mine has been the best investment I've made for gaming in years!
ltr7 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Back on topic, I watched ping climb last night again after melting fools all day with 40ms steady. It was over 100ms until after 2:00am MT U.S. Then it drops right back to a steady 40ms, which is great for me feels silky smooth. I believe it's more of a demographic issue rather than my ISP because my test results don't seem to change, only connection to PSN suffers. I believe there is a lack of infrastructure on the western US again jmho.
ltr7 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 So I did some more testing last night after beasting all day on A.W, got my KD positive finally! Anyway when my ping started to climb last night around 7pm I wanted to check ping to other major servers other than PSN's to see if was my ISP or just a demographic issue. I waited until my ping was over 125ms to PSN, then I fired up Netflix on PS4 the main server poped up on the west coast near San Diego. My ping to Netflix server never went above 25ms, I've never gotten that good of ping to PSN's servers ever, all of this was tested during peak usage hours in the northwest U.S.
