Re: Home Internet Gaming Problem

I did talk to tech support and he told me UDP wasnt supported. I have been waiting until the problem is fixed to switch back to T-Mobile. Idk what they're telling people now, but the service worked flawlessly up until December. Low ping, fast downloads, until they changed something.20Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

Was just home for a day, managed to get plenty of CSGO and Quake Champions games in without a single issue. Fingers crossed they undid whatever made gaming impossible.19Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

But if this isn't resolved soon, if they can't even be upfront about the existence of an issue,I might have to jump ship. It annoying and I wish they could fix this cuz I'm kinda stuck with them for now I found that UDP is not supported for video games. I had to switch providers. Whats the purpose for internet if it cannot be used for video games as well. The problem is that it worked just fine for the six months I had the service. Whatever update they pushed was a conscious decision to remove your ability to use the service you paid for, without even so much as an email or text. I haven't received any notification that their internet isn't intended for gaming, or that they've changed anything. They're perfectly fine letting me continue to pay for a service that they stopped functionality for.9Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Sea of Thieves connection issue
syaoran wrote: As a Sea of Thieves player myself. The current season has brought a lot of server instability and issues to the game. Especially with trinket lag and lag spikes causes by certain islands in the game. Personally, I would say it's the game. There is a new adventure out today though. Hopefully some of the many bug fixes that are needed, are in today's patch. The last patch was so broken, they had to take the servers offline 3 times in one day and issue 3 different patches. Its definitely not the game, other forum post has numerous people having the exact issue, across a wide array of multiplayer games. I'm having issues with CSGO and Quake Champions, all starting around December. Service was incredible before all that, fast speeds and low ping.20Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

We have t mobile home internet(new style tower) and 3 phones 2 tablets all "unlimited". We started experiencing gaming issues around december also but what i have to add to this is somewhat different than what has been discussed. We have issues with our xbox games glitching and lagging but we also run all our phones and tablets on their own internet not the wifi and we have been experiencing the same type of and frequency of lagging and glitching across all devices on or off wifi. Before december we regularly got about 40 ping but now i just tested tonight out of frustration and ookla says 91 idle ping 495 download ping and 1160 upload ping, were 179 down 47 up and basically the same on wifi or mobile data for what all thats worth for everyone. Tldr. Not so sure its your modems as it is the service provided to you no point resetting modems lol I believe it's the modems not transmitting the correct traffic. The only issues I've had besides this for the 8 months I've had the service, is a slight hiccup in connection every once in a while. Just everything will disconnect for a second; discord, steam, YouTube, etc, and then it all comes back immediately. Since the December update or whatever, this has been a different type of connectivity issue, and much more frequent. It's basically impossible to use the service for multiplayer games now, which isn't what I signed up for. I got no notice or anything that they were changing anything. If they're really going the route of "it's not for gaming", then they should have said that when I initially signed up, or notified me in an email that changes were happening. It's safe to assume that most people with an internet connection are also using it for online gaming, so it's insane to me that they're just letting this issue go on like this for months. I'm rarely home so I can't check every day, but I would have cancelled it already if it was a daily fight to connect to anything. Gonna give it another month and see if they fix the problem before switching to a local internet service. Slower speeds but at least I'll be able to actually use the service I'm paying for, because this is beyond frustrating.8Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

It annoying and I wish they could fix this cuz I'm kinda stuck with them for now Last night I did not experience any issues gaming at all. Apex legends, Oculus pop one, MWW2 no issues. The night before several issues staying in a game. I am hoping a miracle happened and it was patched or it was a one time issue. Is the problem fixed for all of you also? Same for me, I was able to play last night with no issues at all! I had one day last weekend where I was able to play a few hours solid of CSGO, but my brother was having issues later on at night. He's on an entirely separate line as well so who knows if it's actually fixed. Been saying it for a while, they should just roll back whatever they did.7Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

Interesting. I work from home through a VPN and am getting booted several times a day. I didn't consider it being onmy end and another component to the gaming and MyQ issues.I kept asking my coworkers to restart my computer. Sigh. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one - the most annoying part about this problem is it's wildly inconsistent - I'm an IT guy and I can troubleshoot and deep dive into these things, but because I can't really do anything with what is probably the cause (my trash can) all I can do is maybe apply some workarounds. I connected my Nighthawk R5700v2 that I had before I switched over to TMHI last year december and after putting it into bridge mode and connecting my devices to the router, my work laptop issues stopped - however I'm not sure if it affected my gaming stuff, as I did time out once playing TF2 within 1-2 minutes, but then ran another session and went 20-30 without a problem. Is it caused by a certain tower/connection type? Congestion? I just can't tell. Rebooting the gateway would sometimes have no effect. Games work for a bit then fail, which means it's not just "it doesn't work", it does until something specific happens then I time out. It's not just old games either that might have poorly designed/outdatedprotocol network settings. I've seen lots of old posts that say "TMHI is not for gaming" and yes, there might be a bit more latency, butthat's worth $30 or whatever the difference was for me and using Xfinity, andI don't use consoles which were mostly the main culprit;since I started just over a year ago, I didn't have any *disconnects* and things just failing until the last 2-1.5 months. This is new and frustrating - and along with this I think my area has gotten MORE 5G ultra coverage around me too. Yeah, and it's not like the internet itself is disconnecting, either. Everything else is working perfectly fine. It's like they're specifically filtering the traffic used by certain ports. Did they just underestimate how many users they would have with an unlimited data plan? If they came right out and said it, I would pay more, I just want to be able to use what I'm paying for. It doesn't seem like congestion to me. Gaming, relatively wise, takes up very little bandwidth, (unless you count downloading CoD Warzone as "gaming" but hey I don't do that lol). They'd want to look at streaming services to cut down bandwidth...I'd hope they would know this. Yeah, when it comes to downloading games it works amazing, just any kind of game needing a connection like CSGO it drops within minutes. Had a decent few hours without any issues earlier today, but Quake Champions couldn't hold for longer than a minute.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

Absolutely agree, service was incredible the last six months, and we can't really get service where I live, but after talking with them, they have NO clue what I'm even talking about, chalking it up to an outage is really annoying. Strongly considering just taking the loss and switching service to whatever's local instead of paying for what I can't even use. If they realized they made a mistake offering too much bandwidth for the price, I wouldn't care if they had different tiers and prices lmao, I just wanna not get disconnected.38Visto3likes0Comentarios
