yeah my connection is working just slower than comcast and i always have like 3 hops that times out and my ping is 20-25 ms higher but like i sadi the tier2 tech from at&t told me i have to get the server to lock in my static ip and it will then create a more direct and prioritised route so thats why I came on here to ask about

You can try to use a static IP, but Tastyspleen has nothing to do with it, and i think it wont help your routing.

comcast is pretty bad some times... but at&t is worse

comcast actually hasnt been too bad for me lately though occasional bullshit but nothin too serious and rage worthy

okay i'm going to see what this static ip does...I have 30 days free trial if i'm not happy i cancel at no cost then i will go back to comcast

For what it's worth, I've never heard of such a thing.

My understanding aligns with what QwazyWabbit wrote above.

well you may want to run a traceroute, what if it is the local line?  the local stuff is usually not as nice as backbone and what not.
