I can't stand wireless. I always had lag spikes with it.


Im going to agree with Steve on vista but i'll make a formula for fun.

Wireless + Vista = lag 8)

Okay okay.

I found with eastlink at night between 8:30 and 9:30 pm they do bandwidth shaping. This does cause some serious latency issues for me.

I talked to a installer at my place when I got my cable done (again..) and he fessed up that those were around the times.


Other than that I can't help ya mate.

Other than opening more TCP ports and disabling your background patching.. Thats about it.. And I doubt that would help. :cry:

Sorry that's about all I got.


I run a Wired Dlink DIR 655 on cat 6 on dual lan. Still get spikes at night. More so recently as well. I'm in the Windsor Park area.

How bad of shaping anyways? Is it regional or just network-wide in the HRM? I know already they throttle BT traffic but it seems to be a lot worse on the upload speeds in the past 6 months. Not to change the topic, and yeah I gave up a very long time ago with wireless.

I really believe they are throttling on a trial basis as it's bad around these times where the peak amount of people are logging off regionally.

I have given up on BTing myself due to it being throttled on p2p ports no matter what you do now.

But overall i'm unsure. I'll investigate while at work tomorrow depending on my level of consiousness.

I'm still able to get 90k/s uploads over BT when someone else in my building is on the same torrent (RevoTT heh), but in general most of them sit at 0k/s all the live long day. Guess it's just the nature of the beast...

get any windows updates over the last few days? if you have i suggest rolling back to when things were still working, or find out what updates got installed and try uninstalling them and then reinstall/update your network card drivers.

as for traffic shaping in regards to BT. through the day i seem to be limited to about 450kB/s download and 30kB/s upload, but in the wee hours of the morning i seem to be relatively uncapped and getting speeds of about 800kB/s down and 100kB/s up.

i impatiently await FIOS...
