Ping Servers - If Your Streamyx Connection Is Out
I learnt a new thing today all because the Streamyx Servers were causing problems again. I realised since the past two days that I could not connect. This has been a recurrent problem which I made several reports earlier on. Each time, I was told that there was a problem with my modem - and duly, I changed every time.
Finally, I ran out of modems to change and I decided to press on for a solution via the 100 number called to Streamyx Tech Assistance. Then only did I find out that the cause was not in the modem but a hang session at Streamyx. You won't want to know how much I have wasted money on modems - at times, I thought "What the heck, just snip off Streamyx Broadband and move on to another service provider instead."
In the recent case, there was yet another hang session, and the Tech girl at Streamyx helped me through and taught me a bit which I will also teach you if you are in Malaysia and using Streamyx.
Do a Command Prompt (Run: cmd)
Then ping anyserver you know, ie. type in ping http://www.streamyx.com and see what the return results are.
According to the girl, you chould receive no more than 85ms return rate for local site and not more than 500ms for a foreign site.
