Packet Loss

[GOOGZ]

Ok, i dont know if i can find a soltion here with you peeps haelp, but its my last option

I use teamspeak, connecting to a server in the US, and i live in England,U.K. i have a 750MB+ broadband internet connection. Now my problem is this, while i can hear people talking to me clearly on my end, they say i am breaking up all the time. Now its not my microphone, i have checked that. And all my settings are set as they should be.

What i have noticed is that for some reason, when i check people's info in TS,while most people get barely any packet loss 0% or maybe 3% at the most i have ever seen from anyone else. I get 35% - 50% packet loss. i believe this is what is causing my problem and i dont know why i get this crazy packet loss.

I thought it may have somink to do with me being so far away from the server US to UK, but some of my dutch friends connect to same server and get no packet loss.

This may not be a TS problem that i'm having, so i dont know if anyone can help me.
but like i said, i dont know what else to do, please help, cus it bugs me when all i get is "what was that" , "sorry, didnt hear you" " your breaking up!!"

Sorry for the inconvenience

99% chance a problem with your connection. Try contacting your provider.

it is indead (most surely) not a TS problem but a connection problem between your client and the server. In general you have better connections the closer you are to the server (not in km or m but in router hops. The more hops, the higher the chance that packets go lost).

While I can use Swiss and German TS server without a problem from here, I had a horrible packetloss from Australia to the same servers (interesting: I could hear the guys perfect but they couldn't understand me barely. Exactly the same as you say).

=> Apart from contacting your ISP, there is usually not much you can do. I know, not very helpfull as most ISP will not care too much...

hi

sorry for the late response, had probs logging in, had to get new pw,...blah blah blah...

Thanks for your replies peeps. I too felt it was not teampspeak problem, but i had checked everything else out, even phoned my ISP who said, 'your connection is fine,.....blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.......:mad: .

So i thought i'd post here, just in case.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated :)

the proble is that your ISP himself can't do much as it's most surely a problem BETWEEN several ISP's so it would cost them a lot of work they probably say it's not worth for only you. This is not going to make things easier...
