Ok this is how to make your internet better for gaming.

Things to check b4 you do this:
Do a speedtest and a pingtest and keep the links for both
Look at ur pingtest and if theres packet loss then probs best not to try this
Must have ADSL2+ connection

REASON BEING:

If you have slow adsl2+ connection meaning your far from your exchange then this will make your connect unstable and may cause drop outs. This also may occure with packact loss on pingtest so make sure to check b4 doing so.

Probs best to have: telstra as ISP

ISP (who arnt with TELSTRA)

Now the reason for this is you can do this on bigpond.com with ease. For those who arnt with telstra then you can just call your ISP and ask to turn INTERLEAVING OFF. If you don't know what this means yourself and want a better understanding off it then please research it on google.

So call them up and ask for it to be turned off. ISP such as TPG may not have a ******* clue wat this is an im sorry but i cant help with this

For Internode users, login to your "My Internode" from their website.
Go to Agile ADSL2+ Profiles and select any of the low latency ones. If you are unable to over 800KB/sec you should select the ADSL1 low ping one as it is the most stable of the "low ping" profiles. If you still have issues, the ADSL1 Standard profile would probably be best.


For people (With telstra as ISP)

You can call telstra aswell or can do these simple steps on bigpond.com

Sign in > Manage My account > My Plan > Change my line Config > Choose Fast option



Now afta probs 1hr - 24hrs speeds will have changed etc and ur internet may drop out. once u have done this, reset ur net and reboot the shit up. do a speedtest/pingtest and compare and post here.

REMEMBER, if u are having problems with ur connection with interleaving off u can always turn it back on so dont worry.

Thanx guys, hope this helped

Thankyou!

this shiz is legit! worked wonders for me big rep to u godz

Same thing i do with Internode! For me, Selecting the internet profile: Low Latency will turn interleaving off. Drops my Ping from around 18ms to 7 ms, also drops my Download/Upload by a fraction.

can som1 plz move this to the help and technical forum. http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/14259/

Stick also, thanx

dont do this if you have a slow adsl2 connection it will simply cause instability on your connection and drop out.

^^yep thats the usual result i rekon but every1s is different

hope it helps brad.

Tbh this doesnt make your internet better. sure it drops your ping down abit but other than that

so using your logic :
if you were able to increase your ping to say 300ms that wouldn't make your internet worse for gaming


better ping makes your internet better for gaming...

Just wondering why you need ADSL+2 connection....

thats not what im saying. id rather have ~20ms higher ping then packet loss

turning interleaving off should effect ur packet loss unless you were already having the issue of dropping out b4 it. also this may accure coz of the distance/wiring from ur exchange so i dont believe turning interleaving off will make it worse then it already has (thats to say it was bad b4)

so yes it does make it betta for gaming.

Helped my ping alot, but smashed my download...
This was done on wireless and about 20 metres from my modem lol. I'll put up with 39ping to keep my downloads. Cheers anyway Brisbo
