Guys,
My setup:-
PS3
HDMI Panasonic Viera TV or LCD Computer Monitor.
Cabled either via router (in DMZ, static ip address, ports forwarded, disabled firewall).
Sometimes I directly cable PS3 to VM modem.
Virgin Media 20M Broadband.
Since about January I've had terrible lag problems with PES 2010 - I'm a good player with 14 years experience on PES/ISS but lose a lot of games due to lag, yet when I ping test or Tracert etc - there seems no problem. Also seems that I get good results on speedtest upload and download bandwidth usually around 18Mbit/s down and 0.72Mbit/s Up.
Things I've tried (Don't laugh)
Swapped the PS3 (I thought there maybe a problem with access time reading the disc) - No difference.
Optimising TCP/IP with TCP/IP optimizer - A small difference
Swapped the game for a new one! - No difference
Switched off all other wireless devices (to manimise interference) - No difference.
Phoned VM several times (they have checked my modem and I got someone to look at my UBR (apparently it's very under utilised) - no difference.
Swapped router - No difference
Tried QOS settings on Router - no difference
Tried buying a network optimiser (Linksys OGV200 I think) - No difference
I only connect my PS3 to the VM broadband and do not share with anyone else (no filesharing etc)
So what the hell is going on, it's even got worst recently - I live in chiswick so maybe something local is going on, or will it be contention somewhere else in the network or maybe another ISP where the traffic transverses?
what I do know is that there apparantly is a trial for DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) in acton (nearby as well as about 6 sites in the UK) I believe...so is this affecting my gaming traffic....is the traffic being treated like p2p (no QoS setup) or are ports being blocked?
It's very frustrating - so any ideas here, can you suggest anything else I may have missed?
Many Thanks chaps,
Ashley
BTW....I don't really suffer lag with any other games? Well not as noticible?
