MASSIVE lag on the BWEFL & EF Bookables, but Publics are fine, wtf ?

[old.Streaky]

Can someone explain why the servers used for the BWEFL and those used for Bookable EF matches are on a different IP range ?

More importantly, this is why 5 clans per week LEAVE the BWEFL due to crap pings:

Now, what the FUCK happens at hop 11 ???

Massive spike in the ping times and massive PL in the server

Come on Barry's, clans are leaving like there's no tommorow.

 

[old.Streaky]

As you can see, the TR to the public servers passes through 194.143.162.234 which is (was?) a BW Oxford IP, where as the TR to the bookables, passes through 194.143.162.234 which is part of Xara Networks / XO Communications if I'm right.

So, can we get the whole lot routed back the way it used to be please, via BW not via Xara/XO ?

 

[bigfoot]

From my untrained eye it appears 1 is going via LeveL3 and 1 is going via XO (2 of the 3 different net feeds we have). This could be due to your ISP, as for that spike i'm not entirely sure its significant as whenever i trace on NTL i tend to get spikes all over the place, both on NTLs network and elsewhere, but i'll get our network bod to look at it when he gets a mo (he's been off most of the past week due to a family bereavement).

Dave m8, I think you'll find its not just me, this is one of the problems with the BWEFL at the moment and is the reason more and more clans drop out every week.

Prime example was a bookable server our clan used just a few days ago.

We all (14 of us) were getting 150-300 pings in the bookable server, we moved to one of your public servers and the pings for us all dropped back down to their usual 50-60's
