Cable one ping slow
-
I have Cable One broadband service, 10mb down 1mb up package, no cable TV. I used to have a 59ms ping all the time, now I have a 110ms+ ping regardless the time of day. It's killed my online gaming, lag has become very noticable. I'm a casual online gamer but its been very frustrating because it's definatley sucks now.
I've upgraded modems, contacted customer service to see if they could help but they basically say if my internet is working then nothing is wrong. I'm wondering if upgrading to the ultra package would help at all, but it so damn expensive.
Ant other tips for lowering ping?

Is your console hooked up directly to your modem, or do you have a router? If you have a router, there are things you can do to get better performance for gaming. Look online at various gaming forums to find instructions for setting a static ip, then opening ports for it, etc. But if you are hooked directly to the modem, there really isn't much that can be done.
Here's a good tutorial:

I have been having a lot of problems with Cable One's internet lately, more-so in the past 2 months. Internet goes down probably once a week in my area and sometimes it will just turn of for 30 seconds then come back on...not to mention the random throttling.
I hate it.

Threads like this make me happy Moorhead got Midcontinent...Hell they just upgraded our speed so now we're at 20/2 and cheaper than Cable One's 5/.7 or whatever the package is.

One of the things that encourages people seeking low pings to buy cable is that most cable-based ISPs use fewer things to deteriorate service vs DSL companies. Personally, I'm happy with the consistent service that my DSL provides, even though the ping is consistently 40-50ms slower than cable was.
If you're experiencing increased latency, contact Cable One and ask them about service issues in the area. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I've had problems with service through Cable One, they were pretty quick to address it.
