Hello everyone. My house has had Sonic for almost a year now. I recently got back to playing online multiplayer games specifically Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty. I have noticed that the bandwidth for traffic going out and coming in dropping to almost if not completely to zero. This is happening every 3 or so minutes for a duration of 5-10 seconds. Now playing a competitive multiplayer game this can really mess up your game and is very frustrating. I am in the East Bay Area and my speed tests show about 12mbps download and almost 1mbps upload. I am also using the Qualcomm Killer Network Manager as well as a high quality Bigfoot Gaming Lan. Im not getting any issues at other peoples houses using Comcast or even a crappy 3mbps AT&T connection. This issues happens every time when I am playing the game online regardless of anyone else using the internet. It also happens if I am wireless or wired for my connection. I even gave the game and supporting programs priority for bandwidth through the network manager. I tried all solutions posted for the game with no results. I know its not the game using too much bandwidth because the network manager shows that its using at most 0.2mbps for both incoming and outgoing traffic. I know this thread is a little out of the ordinary to what is usually posted here but if anyone has a solution or an idea I would really appreciate it. I am now becoming a more avid gamer and would have to hate to change internet providers because of Sonic dropping the bandwidth completely and so frequently. I can even put up a screenshot of the log that the network manager creates but its just going to show the speed being fairly constant with its ups and downs and then at every 3ish minute mark it would go straight to zero and stay there for 5-10 seconds.
Again, thanks for taking the time to read through the post. I hope someone can help me find a way to get this fixed!!!
