Chokes And Losses After Plan Upgrade - What Do I Do?

[prateekm]

Hello guys,

I am a happy Tata Broadband customer since the past 4 years. Till November '10, I was on 256 U/L plan and I used to get a decent ping rate and 0 chokes and losses while playing CS:1.6. Now, in Nov '10, I called up the call center and told them to change the internet plan. Since the plan wasn't changed after 3-4 days, the s/w engineer came to my house and did it. At that time, he also replaced the yellow wire (LAN wire???) which connects the router to the CPU (in my case, to the Wi-fi). Since that day, I have been getting continuous chokes and losses while playing CS. About a month back, I upgraded to 1MBPS U/L but still have the same problem. What do I do? Is it because of some problem on their side, the wire is faulty or because I am using wi-fi? (I was using wi-fi even on 256 U/L, but didn't have any problems then). Any help will be appreciated

Here are a few specs:

OS: Windows 7 x86

Router: Zyxel

ISP: Tata Broadband

Speed: 1MBPS U/L

Wi-Fi: Netgear

Wireless card (CPU): Belkin.

SNR Margin & Line Attenuation: Check image below.

yup 100% seems a bad crimping issue, call the isp and get it replaced or goto the market and get the lan patch corde.

choke means no data for a while then sends it all at once?

And do check the rates u have set ingame those also contribute to ur loss and choke , rate and cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate
