Thread: Bsnl Is Too Slow For Online Gaming

Hi,

Ive been a (home 500) bsnl user in kolkata for the past 5-6 months and ive notcied currently that inspite of its good download speeds the pings are way to high (normally 600-900) which is too slow for playing multiplayer games.

Even after complaining the problem is yet unsolved,does any1 else is experiencing high latency's while playing multiplayer games or do i need to open any ports or do any modem settings??

Please help...

Try switching to opendns.

depends on the game.. some games require you to open specific ports!!!

Yes. That too.

anyway bsnl's upload speed of 512kbps on 2mbps also does not help.

OpenDNS | Providing A Safer And Faster Internet , their server ip's are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 ,

"I've forwarded ports 2300-2400 TCP & UDP and port 47624 TCP.",
This is what i found on the internet regarding opening ports for AOE

hmm i did it but it isnt improved still maybe i rebooted my router and it changed my settings..

Still i can play those game but the latency are too high even tho i port forwarded
I play in International Gaming Zones; Matchmaking for Gaming!

long before.. i used to play AOE with a software called hamachi...it used to work well.. hamachi is a vpn software.. which creates a LAN between computers on the internet.. so its like setting up a LAN game

Ya, this happens to me as well. It happens when you join a server which is hosted by a different ISP like Airtel etc... You shud play a BSNL server for a lag free perfect game.
