So I waited till midnight, rebooted the router and the puter and 5 mins later I was riding on big a** wallride. I think that solves it beyond doubt. I have a daily quota, even on a Sunday.

It might not be YOUR daily quota... it might just be the network shaping time of day thing. But yes it proves it and it is amazing they think they can get away with it.

Yes, if that's true it's pretty bad. I think it's called collective punishment.

Well, I got a few hours out of it today. Then I got kicked at 5pm on the dot, and couldn't reconnect. They've got it in for me.

Evidently Eclipse weren't going to sit back and let Tiscali have all the fun with Bunsen as tonight I had the old message again. At the end of the first race I wasn't allowed to start and tried typing something. It didn't appear in the chat box, a surefire way to tell that I was about to leave very quickly. I left before the PC could kick me, closed TMN down, restarted it, joined and tried typing again. Again, no text appeared in the box. This happened once more, with Atom saying bye just when I was unable to reply. I'm sick of all this. I might well get my 'supervisor' on the blower to Eclipse. Failing that, I'll do it myself. Any ammunition you can offer me ready for the call Mad?

Tell them to go shove their internet service ... you know where. Ask them why. Ask them to fix it. And if they dont do anything and are really awkward, (fairly extreme and im not completely sure about it, check with mad) say 'If your not going to do anything about it, then can i have my mac key please'. Which is basically giving them an ultimatum, fix it, or i leave.

(But dont do it without checking with a few people, not sure if its the right course to take)

...Or so I thought. The traffic shapers are back in action and I've told the household authorities that I can't play TM online and the reason why. The authorities show complete contempt for TM and generally believe that I spend too much time on it. As such, my comments were greeted with "Never mind, I'll do it some time, it's not the end of the world."

HOW IS IT NOT THE END OF THE WORLD? I CAN'T PLAY TM ONLINE!

(Cheese retreats into a corner and sobs quietly).

wow, reading this I feel like a teenager again Very Happy
Thanks, DaCheese!
... but srsly, try offering your parents some wonga towards the service, it's the only language they understand. Then you'll have a bargaining chip when it comes to ditching your ISP for a reasonable one.
btw, has anyone tried 'choking' the bandwidth in setup to make it last longer? Or are you all snickering now? Embarassed

I don't think that would make any difference mid Sad

I'm guessing the game only uses that as a guide so that it can plan transfers and not as a limit.

I'm also guessing that the ISP is not really bothered by the quantity as the TM game is not a mega heavy traffic application.

I think they just like to annoy people. surely if it's a persons particular traffic then they should tell them instead of just blocking them.

I have emailed Tiscali on behalf of my clients and will post the email and reponse, if they ever reply. Smile Yes, I know that eclipse is involved here as well but it's the same thing in this respect.

Tonight I was disconnecting every five minutes, but managed to get back in without trouble on most of these events. Not being able to get in at all some nights has had a terrible effect on me, as you can see...






Yes, I've been so bored I've actually gone to the trouble of skinning an entire train on one of the many railway simulator thingys that I seem to have installed over the years.

With Nations booting me off every five minutes, I've been playing the U word. It's kicked me once, I think. That's all. It's been fine otherwise, so reliable that the French and Germans have been pasting me for at least an hour before I get bored of time attack. The plot thickens...

thats interesting... I think in United they may have changed their server comms encryption, and I guess they may have changed the invalid time sequences / sensitivity too.

There's some other stuff I'm having trouble with at the moment too...

>It takes ages to type stuff into the chat box.
>In the track editor, on TMO, TMN and TMU, rotating the camera causes it to freeze for a few seconds at times.
>Vent is slow and has silent periods followed by stages at other times where it repeats short clips over and over again. Then it decides that it's going to disable my input device because it's sending stuff too fast.
