Imagine Wimax 7Mb Speed & Ping test

This test shows Imagine Wimax 7Mb line in Maynooth, first speed test then Ping test. I'll remove these videos if they solve the problem.

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.

@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...

then type "netsh winsock reset"

and press return...

This should reset your TCP stack.

[MumblingMickey]

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 it will force the computer to use your isp's dns server and not rely on what could be an outdated set of dns listings you have locally.

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.

@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

@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!

[MumblingMickey]

@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.

Wireless is prone to all sorts of stuff.

What OS are you using?

[Sacramentobonbon]

@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.

@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.

I see the point you're making though.
