Cable Connection Sucks

riseagainst4848 · 11-12-2007, 08:17 PM

My pc was moved to another end of the room,and now ive noticed its hooked up to a splitter with 3 tvs.it seems slower and Halo ALWAYS lags like crazy.im pretty sure it messes it up pretty bad when its connected with other things,especially tvs.whats ur thoughts about it?

go to speedtest.net choes the one in gold and post what it says

download says like 3.3 Mbs,but the upload is only at about .3 Mbs

my computer isnt running the quickest these days,but when im playing halo i get the no connection symbol,if the pc was to slow to handle it would just lag,plus playing 1 player is fine.do you think i need a fast upload for the game to play right?

ok, and you have comcast i take it. In that case yes it should be a bit better, At least 6 Mbs and 1Mbs up. Could you try it without the spliter see if it helps?

riseagainst4848 · 11-12-2007, 08:46 PM

it only works if i have the splitter connected,with the tvs.if i try to run just the modem and the splitter or just the modem and the cable line it doesnt run,althouth the computer still knows theres a cable connection.

What latecy are you getting from speedtest?

I would be pointing my finger at the splitter tho.

had the same problem, comcast changed my splitter... are your cable lines old... are you still using the same cable line from before or did you split off another line

cheers

riseagainst4848 · 11-16-2007, 11:22 PM

prolly old lines in there,and my tvs have been getting all fuzzy lately ill have to call time warner.u think a new line would be free,or the other line it was connected,to be reconnected cause i tried it and it had no connection.

Yay, another Halo fan

(I WAS one

)

TV's don't share an connection with anything... Unless you have an TV tuner in your computer, but even then it would not affect anything at all. If this is the Halo Trial version, lags are 100%. Halo Trial uses an self server, while the Halo full version uses an dedicated server. Home/self servers use alot of your DSL/Cable...

no its full,well for one thing the incoming connection was connected to the 1 tv instead of the incoming line

id like to meet the tech that set this up,prolly was my dumbass dad though.

now that i fixed the connection,the tvs arent fuzzy,but websites load so slow and the upload is only 40 KBs!
