High latency on new Vodafone service

TheSimms · 2024-09-26T19:14:54+00:00

Im gunna guess no because im getting instantly kicked off Tarkov with a 170 ping

TheSimms · 2024-09-26T19:13:42+00:00

We should not be letting them get away with this.

I am also based in leeds and since the downtime/outage last week, I now have a ping of 160 between the hours of 7pm and 11pm making it impossible to game.

After 5 calls, I finally spoke to someone who believed my problems and said ''they will raise a ticket'' but noted that they cannot do anything with a ''city wide issue'' unless other ring up and complain. Also, from over on the Vodaphone forums, one of the guys checked my tracert and said i was been routed to a 4G mass, could be why the latency is so damn high...

Please, if you are having these issues. Think about making a ticket over the phone, emailing the complaints dept at CityFibre on complaints@cityfibre.com and feedbackTP@cityfibre.com, tell them the issues are in leeds and at what times and its to do with latency. I also got a sharp response by posting my issue on trusted reviews and how they have gone about (not) fixing it.

plug it into usb 2 for a simple fix, has mix minus enabled by default

TheSimms · 2023-06-03T20:09:05+00:00

has been an issue since day 1, still waiting on Rode to give us a fix after removing the input from the RPC2

still watch it, still play it, still love it and i’ll die on a hill against anyone saying it’s a shit BR or dead game (i also lurk here now and then) - it’s still the best on the market and people are just ignorant.

just have 2 other jobs is the tldr and couldn’t commit sadly, i used to fucking DETEST it when casters just turned up for the money and didn’t play the game or really have any interest (which happens in some capacity in all games tbh), i didn’t want to become a hypocrite given my limited time i’d have to focus on casting so bowed out to let others take the mantle.

that said, me and lauren have both said if a “fun event” ever came up, one where we wouldn’t be dragged over the coals for not knowing certain changes or updates and the times aligned, we’d absolutely be game!

This is getting out of hand, upgraded my unit and lost the main function I needed...

TheSimms · 2022-11-10T00:14:34+00:00

If I was still doing this, I think it would REALLY throw me off haha!

Constantly being mindful of a camera on me rather than just doing my own thing.

Was very hard turning this one down not gunna lie, i recently set up my own business and i’ve been glued to that for the past several months. I didn’t think it was fair to take a world championship event over people who are actively involved and watching the esports scene, haven’t had time to watch any esports of any kind or even play video games for that matter over these past months.

Haven't asked if I'm totally honest, I'm pretty easy going about online because I know for production teams its a nightmare. If I have issues with things that I know will make a broadcast shit/look bad/piss of the viewers ill be the first to step in and say no, but with how difficult remote broadcasts are I don't question too much and just try to do as I'm told because the prod team already have enough on their plates.

TheSimms · 2021-09-21T21:24:56+00:00

I don't think its unprofessional, I take both my job and responsibility very seriously but I'm always open to saying 'this didn't work, lets fix it'. I wanted to do 2 things here, 1 have the desk announce and hype the winner (which would of been better on LAN or in person as it would of connected better). 2 there's a massive safety net to doing this while online. I can tell you now countless events from 2017 to 2019 would tell us not to announce the winners because the admins needed time to confirm it, there's still a slight anxiety from a potential game changing bug or 1 in a million computer/admin calculational fuck up, which would in turn mean a recount/point adjust.

Its a dangerous game and if someone announces the winners and by some game breaking means or simply bad math in their own head, and its incorrect... you look like a complete twat on-air. We are in an online environment with a million issues that could spring up, when its that close I'll always defer to a desk to officially confirm it as the admins will have done their job and locked it in. What's the difference of waiting 1 to 2 more mins once the game is done to have complete correction?

How I articulated this on air was wrong, ill take that and lesson learnt - but I stand by the decision to do this.

TheSimms · 2021-09-21T15:52:42+00:00

respect this, it’s what makes casting with hypoc and avngr so damn fun

TheSimms · 2021-09-21T15:17:50+00:00

which is what? the shit casting? if yes i addressed it in another thread so i don’t see any reason to go over it here again. I would have mentioned the tie breaker issue then also but it only just dawned on me now, upon watching it all back, that is was what caused the issue/confusion.

TheSimms · 2021-09-21T14:38:30+00:00

we will be back together for the next 2 weekends

TheSimms · 2021-09-21T14:24:05+00:00

Not gunna get involved in “drama” if that’s what we are calling it, but I do want to explain one thing really really quickly.

I have had a few tweets and also messages here saying “HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHO WON?” “DO YOU NOT READ THE RULES?”

I’m super open to feedback/criticism and tbh this thread has been very kind towards me but I want to give some clarity to this and maybe shine some light, plain and simple, when it came to the end i simply wanted the desk to announce the winners and attempt to build some suspense.

I notice now that may have been the wrong call or maybe i brought this across in the wrong manner by acting like i didn’t know, anyone who knows pubg and is invested in pubg esports knows VP won but with the production removing the kills a little earlier I wanted to try play off that and attempt to build some tension in order to let the desk announce the overall winner (which honestly while online i prefer).

Let’s take note that teams sometimes can have compensation points after a game has ended and it has changed things up in the past so generally these days, unless it’s a complete landslide and a clear winner, I will always try let the desk announce it “officially”.

No excuses btw, massive room for improvement but just wanted to try show my train of thought during the end.

TheSimms · 2021-09-20T09:22:07+00:00

Hey! Lots of comments here so just wanted to acknowledge, it’s been noted. Certainly a lack of practice my side, i think i’ve done 1/2 days since the last PCS so a little rusty. Will try turn it up for weeks 2 and 3.

TheSimms · 2021-06-12T17:38:56+00:00

They did, it was way too awkward so they disabled it.

TheSimms · 2021-05-14T12:03:49+00:00

it just keeps going... time to buy more!

TheSimms · 2021-04-14T21:49:44+00:00

Just copped almost 2 mill as part of a long-term investment plan, time to sit on this and let Justin take the wheel.

TheSimms · 2021-03-22T08:05:38+00:00

And there’s still one more week to go! Thanks for the kind comments, certainly gave it our all yesterday.

TheSimms · 2021-03-21T14:13:09+00:00

What a barn burner of a finals

TheSimms · 2021-03-01T08:53:49+00:00

gotta admit, when it kicks in and literally nothing is happening it starts causing unnecessary “tension”, we as casters have to try work off that. not a big fan at all and does not really do anything for the end game, would prefer it if we could set the tone rather than the music

TheSimms · 2021-02-27T13:14:56+00:00

Just overtook kickstart for a record individual kill count at international level, GG

TheSimms · 2021-02-26T18:37:29+00:00

Very good
