Rhun's OLD Greyhawk ALPHA OOC Thread (ToEE) -CLOSED

[Rhun]

Is EN World running extremely slow for everyone again, or is it just me?

 

[Leif]

I hadn't noticed any particular slowness today, but then I haven't done much here today yet either. We've already talked some about the other weirdness going on around here....

 

[Rhun]

It is definitely running slow for me...has been since last night. And I'm on an entirely different connection today. Definitely must be related to the other weirdness going on.

 

[Leif]

You are, doubtless, correct, sir! Sorry to hear that you're having such a notiecable delay. It seems to be functioning within normal parameters for me. Being here at the office means a dsl connection as opposed to my cable modem at home, but that's not really a significant diffeence. I'm just glad that they kept the site up and running during the reconfiguration, as opposed to the other option of taking the site down completely for a day or three!

I've got a 100meg FastE connection here at the office, so when I notice a slowdown it usually isn't on my side. If you ever want to upgrade that DSL connection, let me know. Working in telecom definitely has its benefits (of course, it has a lot of drawbacks too!).

 

[Leif]

Thanks, but the DLS connection, like I said, is where I work. I don't have the authority to make changes like that around here. That falls within the ambit of our IT Dude/Fry Cook/Production Supervisor. He's quite the Renaissance Man, let me tell ya!

And here I was thinking the speed issues were at my end.... have an ADSL connection at home and the phone line it runs over must be exposed somewhere as it drops out in the rain

That's a fairly common problem...I see it a lot with customers I have in Phoenix, AZ. They don't seal the lines well, and they end up going down whenever it rains.

 

[Leif]

I had a similar problem with my cable connection: not for internet, but my tv was horribly fuzzy. Then I had a cable modem installed, and they discovered that the cable wiring to my house was apparently installed in the middle ages, so they re-ran my connection, and all my problems instantly vanished.

Well, all of my CABLE problems anyway. These mental issues are more difficult to resolve.

Any solution? the problem has got progressively worse over time.
