Well, as some of you may have read in the wireplay news I kicked off the Wireplay Q3F League last night. Now (probably as a result of whatever work the BT engineers were doing last night) Wireplay performance was pretty poor last night, with people getting iffy pings and more packet loss than normal. This wasn't too big a deal though.

When the new net feed came out I pointed out in the appropriate thread that the old netfeed that wa running the q3f servers had got worse for some people and especially worse for a lot of the euro players. Now lets think, hmmm, a league, the community for q3f is very much continent spanning and as a result many clans are composed of mainly euros. So when they come to play in the league, oh look, their previous 200 pings have risen to 700.

700.

Now take one guess at what happened with one clan of mainly euros on the first night of the wpq3fl. Yep, they pulled out. Great work on screwing up the old net feed people, any chance you may actually do something about getting it back to normal some day?

"the new net feed should take a lot of the traffic off the old net feed blah blah"

doesn't make crap all difference if you do whatever you have done to screw up the old net feed (is it concert?).
