Trouble Shooting / Re: Experiencing Higher Pings than Normal at Tastyspleen Quake 2 Servers

So can anyone explain why my packet does not have a spike in it at the 7th hop?

Is there something different in the packets that ijag sends compared to mine?  We are both located in North Vancouver, BC.  We both use Shaw and are playing the same game?  So I can't see why his packets should be treated differently than mine down in San Jose.?   Could they be flagged differently as they come out of the Shaw network.  Sorry if that sounds silly as I am a complete noob with computers.

ijag I PM'ed you some info you can send to Shaw to ask them the above question.

Hi,

I met Travolta on the WEST (?) server where I had an insane ping (12-14).  He mentioned that some Vancouver Shaw users were having trouble so I thought I would throw up some tracert's to see if i can help.

I'm on Shaw, regular 5MB service, located in North Vancouver.

Not sure if that will help any, but GL.
