Bebox or Be connection problem?

firmware uploaded succesfully, im even syncing higher aswell which is nice!

just out of curiousity bobby did you have to change your VCI to 101 and change to LLC-BASED in the adsl settings tab?
 
ta, did you choose ADSL2+ aswell in the advanced adsl settings tab under modulation mode? or did you leave it at the default?

also i'm still getting the silly little lag spikes in game see in the pic my netgraph is fine then just blips momentarily for a unknown reason :

well on adsl2+ i'm sync'ing at 15mb down and 1.3up so it's not bad and speedtest looks good,

after looking about on Be's forum i see a guy had a similar problem changed his antivirus from AVG 7.5 (which i have) to avast and his problems were solved, will give this a try later i think.

any thoughts on why i'm getting the random spikes every couple of mins and it's rock solid otherwise?
 
hmm, maybe it is my AV then it's strange will give avast a go later and report back with the results, bloody Be* never had these problems with my BT line and had ingame ping of 7 aswell, only reason i switched was for the higher upload and download speed now i have higher ping, lag spikes :@
 
i did try fastpath then requested it to be turned off as i put the problems i've been experiencing down to that, now that i have seen it's not that i'l probably request it again. but wanted my connection to be fixed first before i play around with fastpath
 
after trying avast anti-virus and removing AVG 7.5 i tried playing cs now the spikes were less consitant but were still there so i'm presuming it is something to do with a background programme/process. Starting to think that it could be something to do with vista thoughts? i'm really starting to tear my hair out with this problem now
 
ok got a lot of tests to run through Be and my bebox tonight after raising a ticket.

On a side note though, yesterday i had huge DNS issues around 5:30pm, and couldn't connect to any browser/msn/mirc however ventrilo and steam would connect fine. later last night my net came back and i was able to connect but i ran Be's speedtest and also the one on speedtest.net and both were reporting my line to be at 3-4mb down (previously i was getting 15mb down), so i started to panic and tried a download and i was getting 1.5mb/sec so my line was fine just speedtests were reporting very slow speeds, any ideas why this is?

loosing my rag with Be now and might well switch back to ADSL and go with ukonline's 8mb package
 
just as a update, i've been running tests with the Be guys through the ticket system and after running recent tracert tests results aren't so good, i'm seeing lots of spikes in my latency from 15/16ms up to 100ms which is whats causing me to feel like ingame it's not stable.

if this continues i will be changeing back to ukonlines adsl 8mb package
 
this is a tracert test i did the other day to the match server our team played on last sunday (bearing in mind it is a uk server) :

since this i've reported it to Be and today they say they have adjusted my SNR margin and hopefully it should resolve this issue, i'm currently at work so i can't test this until later this evening but i'l post back with the results.
 
ok re did the test to the same ip after Be have alleged to have fixed my line and here are the results :

thing is i think Be have disabled fastpath as my ingame latency has now risen again!
 
now not getting any connection drops on my comp which is good, however still getting the spiking issue and download speed has suffered! if i do a speedtest it reports back usually between 6-8mb this is really disgusting as i was getting 14-15mb down before all the problems started!

might well change over to UKonline's upto 16mb connection.
 
well seeing as i never once had any problem with my BT line and got a 7-12ping on all uk servers, now i'm getting mid 20's with Be and stutters in game, i would say that lies with the isp?
