could you all tell me what exactly nocster problems are causing the huge packet loss? please be at leats as technical as possible, please tell me if you can understand that nocster takes so much time/weeks to try to fix it.

I dont think anybody knows for sure *including nocster/burst* but my personal openion is that they overloaded their connections with the addition of the valentines day sale servers....Nothing but downtime since...

hmmm you could be right, the timing is correct... but it still does not explain why entire subranges of IPs are having problems. can you really exclude attacks (dosses)?

They have said that is an issue too...Most likely its a combination of things and with their lack of staff to resolve the problems they pile up to the mess we are in now...

can you understand why nocster.com has zero packet loss... while my box and most of the others (i guess) do still have up to 90% packet loss?

traceroute to 64.191.0.1 (64.191.0.1), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
1 ge-5-0-border.scr1.hostnoc.net (64.191.0.1) 118.888 ms * *

--- 64.191.0.1 ping statistics ---
652 packets transmitted, 254 received, 61% loss, time 651864ms

that is from my box to my gateway !
it sure is an internal problem there.

the same here...

86 packets transmitted, 48 received, 44% loss, time 85013ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.156/0.205/0.494/0.053 ms

lets say... they have 2000 servers online, lets say they turn of 10 for 3 minutes and check if one of this boxes causes all this, if not turn them on again and check the next 10. man I can't understand what takes so long to identify and remove the violating server... should it be a router or something else... even worse if they can't understand and fix it

Their problem is packetloss on their internal network. This is between their router and the servers.
