@telus.net | [AB] do not get telus DSL for gaming
For gaming you need a fast ping, not download speed. Telus always hands off their alberta traffic through vancouver. So if your gaming server is east, it effectively doubles your ping. Useless. Just FYI. |

How about if your gaming server is due south or about north... Than how are the pings....
Can you please post a trace route.. I would really like to see what is happening with your connection....
***sniff****sniff**** Do I smell a troll...

Not true, I ping about 65 to a Battlefield server in NY for the last 4 years that I have been playing there. If it went to Vancouver first from Edmonton then back east I sure in the hell wouldnt be getting a ping like that.
You have obviously never tried gaming with Shaw have you. Enjoy your massive ping spikes!

I've been playing Ghost Recon for years now, and haven't had any ping issues with Telus. |

The only time you see serious latency issues is when the traffic has to go across a transit providers network (rather than a direct peer).

Really? Your core network has been having latency issues for the past month. Pathetic. |

The link(s) to Chicago were upgraded to OC-768 earlier this year, so It's not a bandwidth issue but they might still be working on circuits related to the project. In any event I'm sure the folks who look after the core network are working diligently to sort out the problem.

What does a local router thats affecting traffic to Shaw and Peer1 have to do with Chicago?
Working diligently? Are they monkeys? It certainly doesn't take a month to sort out congestion problems on a supposed "Tier 1" network. Incompetence, incompetence, incompetence.
It's not like TELUS even has much bandwidth needs compared to any other ISP which offers reasonable connectivity.

It's easy to back seat admin when your not the one on the hook for fixing this stuff... Ever actually tried working on a a network of this scale... Not always easy....
I do agree that this taking a long time to fix... But to be honest shaw is no better when dealing with saturated node... Or certain other types of issues...Is that also Incompetence...? Be careful how you answer you might land up setting a double standard...
To be honest both Shaw and Telus are at times pathetic... They also both have times when they really shine..
It's 6 of one, half dozen of the other....

I think it's pathetic, we don't know whether they're actually working on anything at that either.

There is only latency and speed problems in the lower mainland, the rest of the network has been fine.

Oh, please. You have BC, AB, and ON. One of TELUS's primary routers handling traffic that is handed off to parts of Peer1 and Shaw and who knows who else has been so overloaded that it's latency is jumping to 100ms+ during peak hours. How is this NOT a huge problem?
Too bad all the good people at TELUS have retired or gone on to greener pastures or your network would be in much better shape. Granted, half of the issue is with your management and outsourcing but that's something I could go on and on about.
Face facts. No competent ISP leaves congestion on part of their infrastructure that isn't localized (at a DSLAM, CMTS, or whatnot) certain area for such a long period as TELUS. Any time I've seen this type of congestion with Shaw or any other decent ISP it's been rectified within a few days.
Oh wait, most TELUS customers are locked into contracts with huge penalties for getting out. That's how you keep the money rolling in!
NSSI at TELUS are either putting their head in the sands or have been completely outsourced to Manila.

| NSSI, haha ?? They have absolutely nothing to do with this, just because you once worked at TELUS or knew someone there, doesn't mean you have any clue about how things operate.
Anywhere aside from LML customers are getting full speeds, its not just a coincidence that everyone in the high ping thread is in BC.
I don't claim TELUS to be perfect, but to hear that Shaw always solves congestion problems on saturated nodes is laughable, I know people at Shaw and just like any ISP they have finite resources. They can't resolve every problem, every time and in a few days, splitting nodes takes time, just like turning additional transport to solve congestion. I have friends and coworkers who have switched from Shaw to TELUS because of ongoing node congestion, just like I have friends who have switched from TELUS to Shaw because their DSL service was terrible.
Clearly you have an underlying hatred of TELUS and have a hard on for Shaw. More power to you, but please troll elsewhere. |

Notice I said "except" DSLAM and CMTS congestion. This is a problem with TELUS's core network, not something out in someones neighbourhood. |
