lemonizer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Damn stupid mofo thing. My broadband is 2mbps down, 0.5 up with a nice stable ping. Everything works, games are fast providing people are local(ish) and the world is a happy place. What hacks me off is randomly I get everything from 'very bad' to 'very good' with no logic at all. This also hacks others off as they assume I'm going to be a lagger. Then you get a game where everyone has a 'very good' connection and it lags like a water pipe in the artic. So the question is, what the 'f' does it do other than generate a random outcome to pyass me off. It certainly has nothing to do with connection quality.

FunkyFr3sh Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 With such a slow connection it could very well jump from very bad to very good just by opening a website Make sure you close all programs that access the internet if you like to avoid the very bad message All the connection test does is a ping test, if your ping is unstable then it would show very bad as result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonizer Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 TBH I've tried everything. The main issue is that people kick you for having a 'very bad' connection when the game then work fine at top speed. I guess I'll just have to endure it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The ping test tests your connection to Google, if I remember correctly. It would be more logical if it tried to contact the cncnet server, or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonizer Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 AGHAGAHGAHAGHAGHAGAH Kicked from 3 games for having a 'bad conn'... Maybe I should just roll the dice a few more times to get a very good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
