I dont know much about computer stuff but i went to the link you gave and im getting
1.75 download
.30 upload
It definately has nothing to do with your fast upload speed, that is 720kbits/sec, very fast upload.
Latency is how long the packet takes to get where its going not the rate of packets.
When I am having comm problems with the game, I try the /neterrorcorrection command usually I set it to 2, default is 0, I dunno what 1 or 2 do but I usually choose 2 and I tend to believe that I notice a difference.
Otherwise, you could chase down things local to you like your Router, see if there is a firmware upgrade or if you are running P2P software at the same time, see if it supports QOS and increase the priority of the game traffic, or turn off the P2P software.
Google for and download pingplotter freeware, find the IP addresses of where you're trying to play (they're in the stickies somewhere) and do a constant, unlimited ping trace on it.
You'll likely find that one of the servers between you and the game server is a problem, spiking the ping to a high number. Alter.net, Level3.net, GTE, all kinds of backbone servers are used. Sometimes one of them is jacked up, and only your ISP and/or NCSoft might be able to get them to make it stop.
You *may* see a difference on east coast vs west coast, but it may not matter... sometimes I'm sent to Chicago or Washington DC to go to either server... it's odd how the backbones work.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
my speedtest thingy says
I have: 11.81 download
I have: .72 upload
???? That upload can not be good... What makes that happen?
I can't stay connected for more than 2 minutes in a row. I wasn't having this problem at all for the past 4 years... and all the sudden starting 3 days ago... This started. I don't know why. Nothing has changed on my gameputer.
