True Connexion Issues :)

[A_Traveller]

Can anyone help me here. As an example I saw the DivX post above and tried to connect to the link.

I seems to me that the world except Thailand and Singapore} does not exist any longer for my connexion. Can anyone help translate the tracert below so I can bring my voice down to a scream and try to get this fixed.

Thanks for the info George. I'm adding a couple of traces.

I'm on True in CM, speeds to LA (on a 1.0/512 acct.) are 70KBPS/120KBPS while Singapore is fine, must be the pipeline!

A Traveller, I was able to connect the above before I post. It could be after school and peak hour at this time, therefore trying again in later hour.

Nothing wrong with the latencies.

50ms for Singapore is as good as it'll ever get, while the Beeb comes in a tad slow (it's a server in New York though, not in the UK as one may think!)

Seems to be purely a bandwidth congestion problem since the tiny ping packets fly back and forth without hindrance...

[paveet]

But why is the destination the first hop?

But why is the destination the first hop?

Good question, that's the output from tracert.

Suggestions gratefully received. I've been suffering this on and off for weeks now.

That's also rather fast for a real first hop? Only thing I can think of is you have some kind of software installed that supplies a local proxy?

If you don't run a local proxy then have a look in your hosts file, I've seen a couple of nasty hijackers that re-write it, just maybe something similar has happened in your case?

That doesn't answer the original question though, but I would love to know what's causing that wierd first hop.

Hi,

Though I have software installed to allow 'non direct browsing' {forum rule avoidance} it is switched off and has to be invoked. Just checked hosts file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and its still as Microsoft installed it, just localhost.

If discussion problematic given rules, would appreciate any guidance. Note I have the same issue with the WiFi laptop on this connexion.

Regards

[A_Traveller]

Anyone able to follow up on this please. The problem is not going away and does not appear to be time of day related.

i keep on getting the stupid network error page while trying to open any page within en.wikipedia.org using true 2.5M/512K connection.

opening the same page using a secure proxy gives no problems... normal surfing is also better.

would tomorrow's headlines read "Wikipedia blocked in Thailand" or that I would turn out to be a minor fault limited to the switch they have my connection running on...

Ive noticed that on slow internet days, the main bottleneck the transparent proxy.

My PC direct net connection.. takes few minutes and shows network error page

wikipedia is working fine...

facing same issue on thaivisa.com now!

strange.

IMHO all the bandwidth problem ppl complain about is not actually bandwidth congession but rather high server load at the ISPs proxy server...
