if you sclick start then type cmd into the search box you'll see a program called either cmd or cmd shell...
this is the command line program... click it
a black window opens with a flashine cursor... type
ipconfig /flushdns
this will flush your local dns resolver... it will force the computer to use your isp's dns server and not rely on what could be an outdated set of dns listings you have locally.
There's way too much of this crap going on in the world... companies simply not selling what they claim the are selling....
But dude... in fairness although you are right to use the internet to stick it to them... and I accept you were bitten and are trying to help others not to make the same mistake... you did buy it without looking at reviews on the internet yourself. The phrase 'Caveat emptor' springs to mind.
@MumblingMickey I didn't have other options at the time in the student house. I had their "breeze" product which was very good but they discontinued it and then "upgraded" me to this product. Having read reviews of the other broadband companies in the Maynooth area it seemed that they were all showing up in a very bad light, and since Wimax was very new to Ireland I decided to go with the relative unknown rather than the already bad.
@wirechair A ping it a basically a transmission of a set of 4 packets of data from your machine to any other machine on the internet. The number represents the time it took to send the message...and for the 'other' machine to respond. Its can be slow if either machine is under a lot of pressure running programs etc. Or if the network is congested. But its a fairly good and reliable method of testing how fast you can initiate a connection to a website, or a game server etc.
@wirechair Without going incredibly technical the easiest way to improve your ping is to switch from wireless to wired in your house, it can help but it won't be a huge difference. Mostly your ping is out of your control. Make sure to test your ping to multiple test servers, some can be far worse than others.
Oh ok. I was interested in ping improvement with regards to online video gaming. There's a game in which I sometimes experience too much lag. I thought a better (larger) internet connection would bring improvement but another gamer told me that my d/l speed doesn't matter much, lag can eliminated vastly with a better ping. Over time i actually became more interested in the computer science behind online gaming- just to give u an idea as to why i was asking about ping.
@wirechair most of the time (at least in my experience) the delay is down to several factors...very few are within your control.
You can try flushing all old parameters from your machine to reset TCP if you are having problems on one machine, or as sacramentobonbon said there simply plug in an Ethernet cable! if there is an improvement you'll know its down to your wireless connection.
@wirechair Go to the start bar... in the search box at the bottom type CMD... this will give you an ocon at the top which looks like a black box with a tblue bar across the top... its called CMD
Click this to load it.... then type
ipconfig /flushdns and press return...
then type
"netsh int ip reset C:\netsh.log.txt" and press return...
CONT. Sorry for the delay... I went on vacation, my wife won't allow any technology (not even a smart phone) when we leave the country.... and as usual and I returned to over 100 messages on YT and several hundred emails... etc.
@911Dreda11 that pretty okay... 7/10 so to speak...25 is cool and anything above 90 and you are getting into delays.
remember when you visit just one web page every single image, every single file that makes up that page carrys with it a 'negotiation' with your machine and your browser... these are all dependent on that 43ms (43 thousands of a second).
The lower the ping the faster the information will be 'given the okay' to be transmitted.
You can compare your ping to others on pingtest.net
wow dude i have a 2mb and i have only 4 bars . my ping is 80 and download speed from 1.5 to 1.8 there is something wrong with ur congratulation call the company and they will fix da for u
@thedarkside0007 I contacted them loads of times, and they never fixed it. So I got on to Comreg and they contacted Imagine on my behalf. Imagine then offered me to leave the contract without penalty because they admitted their service was awful.
@Sacramentobonbon Isn't it amazing how the consumer has to jump through hoops after a supplier screws up... maybe you should send them a bill for wasting your time! After all they were prepared to send you one!
I live in Dublin and have had wimax for two weeks it was the only thing I was able to get in my appartments. I also have the 7mb line, but live across the road from their tower in Dublin. I checked mine a couple of times and my Ping is averaging about 150ms (anything over 100ms causes lag), no packet loss and less then 20 jitter. However speedtests show anywhere between 1mb and 6mb and it is not peak time. I tend to game at night so the Ping annoys me especially for this time..
WiMax is a frod it says 7 meg net when i called they said its up t 7 meg that means taht it can wave from 0 t 7 .Thats stupid atm my speed 1 1 meg and i cant browse anything ^^
wimax start grate for the first few weeks and the 7mb turns in 1 to 3 max and the staff are lires i was told at peak time it would never drop up 6mb robbers is all they are
I signed up to Imagine in april and its' a terrible service.I did a test yesterday and the upload speed was .02 mbps.The whole service crashed on sunday.I would be better off with dial up
