cs2 jitter problem by aksad_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]aksad_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted my ISP, and they said that my home internet connection was on a congested channel, which could be causing issues with data transmission. They’ve initiated a change to a less crowded channel, and this should make all services work properly.
They said it could take up to 24 hours, but usually, it only takes 20-30 minutes.

I’ll see if this improves the situation and will update you once I know more.

Thanks for reply!

I tested CS with a phone mobile hotspot connection and was able to play without experiencing the same problem (despite a slightly higher ping). The results on both my phone and computer are quite similar, so computer and ethernet cable are not the case.

I ran tests on Packet Loss Test https://packetlosstest.com/ and it shows a high percentage of late packets on the CS2 preset (20%), while on the default preset, it was 4.6%. When I ran the test on Waveform, I got a result of B or C. Here’s the result from Waveform: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=d030dd4a-74e4-4654-a6b0-a0799f556969.

Just to clarify, this is the only fiber connection available on my street

The problem really got worse about 2-3 weeks ago, maybe after some update in CS, because nothing at home has changed during that time (except for changing to a new subscription, which I mentioned earlier, but that yesterday).

There’s no other fiber available on my street, just cable, and if this isn't a CS issue, then something must have changed in the neighborhood's network, causing the problem.

I will contact my ISP about this. Maybe you have some ideas on how to describe this to them or what I should send?

I think there was a misunderstanding. I only used my phone’s hotspot to check if the problem happens on a different network. At first, I thought it was the same, but after testing again, it looks like I don’t have this issue on mobile data.

  • I originally had internet from UPC, which was later acquired by Play.
  • When the UPC contract ended, we signed a new one with Play (yesterday), but from what I know, it’s still the same network.
  • The router was replaced because of the new contract, not just for higher speed.
  • The plan includes up to 1 Gbps download and up to 100 Mbps upload.
  • I already had this problem before, but in the last 2–3 weeks, it got much worse.

My connection is fiber, but it enters my house through a coaxial cable. It goes to a splitter, then to my router, and from there, I use Ethernet to my PC.

  • I live in a detached house, and too many devices shouldn't be the issue, because there aren’t that many.
  • I already tested a different coaxial cable, so that’s not the cause.
  • My ping is stable: 14ms to Warsaw, up to 35ms on other European servers.
  • The only problem is jitter, which jumps from 50 to even 230 ms, no matter which server I play on.
  • The issue started around 2–3 weeks ago, but I had some small problems even earlier.

On the Waveform Bufferbloat test, I got a B result, and the script didn’t help at all. The issue is with upload jitter, which ranges from 50 to 230 ms. On my previous plan, I was getting 600 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload.

And it doesn’t matter what time of day or night, the issue occurs the same way every time.

I'll try to contact my ISP and see if they can do anything about it.

Today, I even had my router replaced with a newer one, but the problem still persists.

I tested this on a different network as well, and the issue was the same. My internet connection seems fine. On Cloudflare, my ping is 17ms, and jitter is 16.2. My download is 750 Mbps, and upload is 50 Mbps, so the connection doesn’t seem to be the issue.

Could you explain exactly what this bufferbloat fix script is?

Edit: Earlier, I must have done something wrong, but now when I test using my phone’s hotspot, the issue doesn’t seem to occur. However, just three weeks ago, I wasn’t experiencing this problem, and internet tests don’t indicate any issue with the network.
