MY PING IS FUCKED

[Zymf]

help me bobbas

i play league of legends i usually sit at a stable 35ms with minimal problems but ? for the past week my ping has been FUCKING stuttering between like 40 and 1000. it refuses to sit at ONE fucking number, it constantly just jumps up and down

i've had the useless engineer bastard cunts out and they basically said there's nothing wrong - they did a few "checks" and told me that my download is 22.6 and my upload is 5.0 (haha obviously fucking NOT)

why the FUCK is my ping not at 35 like it usually is and how do i fix it.
please

thanks homies

i sit about 1.9meters away from the router so nah son that is fine
is my modem the magic box on the wall? i thought a modem was a fancy word for router

yes the modem is the "magic box", and nope it's completely different from a router.

Try hard resetting everything,

unplug both your modem (Magicbox) and the router (Wireless) wait about a minute plus the modem back in but wait for all the lights on it to stable and stay in one place and no blink (all the lights should be on) and than plug the router in.

I've had issues like this in the past with my previous ISP. (Verizon FiOS) who started to do bandwidth caps and started having me get ping spikes, just like you. Mine would be on CS:GO, and I'd have like 30ms ping to the average server, then randomly jump to ~200ms. Verizon was just a shitty host. I switched to Time Warner Cable, and they have no bandwidth caps, and the wifi across the house has no 'drop-out' to cause the ping spikes. Honestly might just be your ISP realizing that your games are causing high bandwidth. That's what Verizon did with Twitch and Youtube for the Southern California region.

this thread nearly gave me cancer

Thunder could kill a device

no

(if it is an RJ45 cable, don´t bother if it is a optic cable)

what's an RJ45 cable

 

[Ecko]

RJ45 is the jack my good friend

 

[Ecko]

It is still called an RJ45 cable, thought the cabe usually is a CAT4, CAT5 or CAT6 cable... but yeah.. you know... internet trolls, and sarcastic assholes

RJ literally stands for registered jack. I have never heard it once called an RJ45 cable until I read this thread.

 

[Ecko]

@eckostylez that might be because you've never worked with those cables outside of your own basement? or maybe you've never dealt with regular people?

I worked in a data center for a significant amount of time, even from the dumbest of our clients.

 

[Ecko]

Sounds like you have heard it tons of times from people who don't know the difference between a jack and a cable.

 

[Weasel]

@eckostylez or we simplefy it because we're not all native english speakers? everyone knows what one means by an "RJ45 cable", however, not everyone knows what a CAT5 cable is, and CAT5 might not be the same standard (or name) in every country.
I could go ahead and say "ethernet cable", but that could cause even more problems.

Because "RJ45 cable" is so much easier to understand than a "CAT5" cable or just simply "Ethernet Cable". However, even "Ethernet Cable" is more correct than a "RJ45 cable".

"registered jack 45"
