worst worst worst latency in photon + from monday 12/3/2012

I am a using tata photon + since an year now.Till the night of 11/3/2012 i never got any lantecny/ping issuse.I need good ping below 100ms to play online.Till 11/3/2012 i was able to play games online easily.....but on 12 th morning i tried to play online but i wasnt able too....i opened speedtest.net and did a speed test i got pings like 917,996,876,881,992 etc .....till today i m getting same pings and i m not able to play games online i m pissed off now . I called up their Costumer Care(CC) .....firstly they dont know what is ping/latency secondly that woman in CC said that it was my pc problem . I scanned my whole pc for atleast 2 times i didnt find any viruses,spywares,malwares . now i m thinking of changing my ISP . plz reply if someone can help me out

Did you verify it with those who are using other ISPs? I mean the routing to these servers could be messed up in general.

What is The Download Speed you are getting?

@cool_techie dude none of my friends use Photon + so dont know if ne1 has a same problem i want too confirm this ping problem from some1 on the net so that i will feel better for my pc

@sarvesh I had recharged with Rs 1000 unlimited plan on 7 th march it has FUP of 3 GB and after that 155 Kbps . That 3 GB of download was over till 10th march and after that m getting around 0.10 - 0.14 Mbps download speed and constant 0.10kbps upload speed on speedtest.net

What speeds u get before 3 GB FUP?

they promise 3.1 Mbps but in reality its just a fake number the max download speed i ever got by photon + since when i brought it is 2.73 mbps but this speed is like once in a million tries and constant speed before FUP limit is about 1 - 1.5 mbps but it fluctuates a lot i guess their ratio of users online is much more than expected

Please post the IP addresses of the game servers. Let us see whether it is a common issue with routing or an isolated issue with tata photon.

Most Indian game hosting like VS-gaming , gamersconnect etc are currently down since 1 month due to DDOS attacks.....but the servers which are currently on and which i am currently trying to play have ip's
1. 203.171.241.244:27017
2. 203.171.241.244:27019
3. 203.171.241.244:27016



I did a ping test with google.com from cmd prompt the result was :-

I tried to ping to 203.171.241.244

And here is the result



I am on reliance broadband, trivandrum.

Any Updates????

I also tried to ping 203.171.241.244 via cmd prompt i got the same result too :-

Pinging 203.171.241.244 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 203.171.241.244:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),


but in game the server is still on and i get pings from 200 to 600 i guess their international routing must be off as protection from DDOS so it is showing request timed out in cmd.exe

SO are you getting the same pings???

Dude how is ur overall experience with Reliance i am thinking of buying reliance broadband ... I dont need any wi-fi so no problem with that....i am going to purchase that freedom 999 plan & i heard that reliance gives good pings like 20ms - 40 ms depending on the location of server in India ....so with my requirements would u recommend me to buy Reliance ???


And they say its 12 Mbps so even if we consider 10 Mbps constant then while download of a file u must be getting 1024 KBps constant na ??

I used to get good latency, stable and almost equal d/l-u/l speeds with Reliance broadband until I switched to Tata Photon + to suit my requirements.

I am also getting the same ping /latency problem the technical department says after FAC you are shifted to photon whiz. Which gives the worst ping ever.I also checked my system and then i went to the technical department .and they said this .And I dont know what to do in cmd i pinged google and got above 450+ .and when I try to play League of legends I get 999 ping .Is there any way of getting any solutions

You must have exceeded your FUP. You should get the normal speed of Tata Photon + after your new month's cycle starts.

after like what 500 mails to tata photon CC they called me up and said that there is a network problem in my area and they will resolve it soon but when i asked the date when it will be resolved they said they dont know the timeline :X and yes i too cant browse in whiz network after i exceeded my FUP but i was playing online for 1 year in both tata photon + and photon whiz network and got ok pings below 100ms but now guess what they fucked it up :trolldance:

Dear friends, i dont even play games still I only get a tata photon signal strength of 40% around most places in delhi. (except where there is already a high wire broadband running in huge corporates) there signal is naturally full. Butt still the download speeds suck.

I normally get 1 or 2 kbps download speed. and during the beginning of the billing cycle, they only allow 17 - 24 kbps speed upto 1gb (for rs. 550pm) then the photon card gets disconnected automatically many times!!!!!! I cant listen to itunes or watch any video on facebook or utube. Broadband services in India is a big big scam like 3g. The common man never gets broadband for 500 rupees nowadays. We can go and prove it anyday in consumer court.
