"Upgrade" of my internet made my ping terrible

Post by hawkiee552 »

A week ago, we upgraded our internet from an old broadband with only 2mbit down and 0,4mbit up to an awesome 16mbit down and 20mbit up (speed varies, but generally doesn't go below 6mbit down and 7mbit up).

This new broadband, however, is a mobile broadband and it's using the 3G network. Download and upload speeds are fast, but the ping is terrible. I got max 230 ping while we had our old broadband, but now I get over 300/400 ping. That ain't no trouble dealing with, but I also get freezes every 3 seconds that can last for minutes. So playing on the FADW TTT server is unbearable.

That's why I'm mostly on the Minecraft server for now, sorry.

I've seen the ping you've gotten, but I don't understand how you have such bad connection. I remember that my father once had the same type of internet back by Christmas times, I didn't have an issue.
