Z30 Connection Issues
Hello.
I think this may be related to Z30, or possibly it's on my end.

So, Ive been cruising and racing with my friends lately, but this happens when im cruising. I cruise at [WKD], and I lose connection, almost every time i join the server, within an hour.
This is particularily bad when theres lots of people on the server, or I have my internet open. I never run any other programs(excluding skype) when playing LFS. So usually, ill leave my fb open and just check it regularily. When this happens though, I either open LFS back up to found ive lost connection, or i will lose connection a couple mins after.
When I dont have mozilla, or internet explorer, or chrome up, my connection lasts longer, but still, about half the time, I lose it within an hour.
Could I please have help? This wasnt happening when I had Z28, it started when I moved to Z30
Thanks,
zay
Ive been losing connection from WKD too.

It might be their end :\

Hello, I am still having this problem. I lose connection regularily, especially when there are more people on the server. I am almost never laggy, but I lose connection alot. I have just lost it for 3 consecutive races at AMG GTR Motorsport.
Thanks,
zay
Dunno it this'll help, but would you mind running tests on speedtest.net and pingtest.net and posting the results? Make sure you select a server close to AMG's hosts.

(i.e. you might be getting good results when you test a server close to home, but have large amount of packet loss when you try a German or UK host...)

Where are the AMG servers based?
Looks like UK, according to this (thanks Josh!).

You can confirm by asking a team member via PM or by posting on their forum. Actually have you tried their forum; others in North America might be having similar issues and posted there...

EDIT:
Make sure you look at Line Quality and Packet Loss (from pingtest.net)

Actually- it is not just AMG, ive just been racing there recently and the problems bothering me
Anyway-
here are the results.
speedtest.net:
Close to home:
Ping: 15ms Download speed: 9.51mbps Upload speed: 0.26 mbps
Close to AMG:
Ping:126ms Download speed:8.05 mbps Upload speed: 0.25 mbps

Pingtest.net:
close to home:
Ping: 19ms packet loss:0% Jitter: 1ms
close to AMG:
Ping: 129ms packet loss:4% Jitter:1ms
Seeing that my grade was A close to home and C away, and most servers are based around the place to AMG, sadly it is the placement of the servers. So, is there any way to optimize my performance?

I could post my DxDiag text if you want, will that help? It doesnt have anything personal right?

Bump:P
From another thread;
Quote from amp88 :Wired or wireless?

If you're on wireless switch to wired (I don't see a difference on wireless/wired on my connection, but it'll probably improve your connection).
Quote from pingtest.net :Packet loss is a metric where anything greater than 0% should cause concern.

You've got 4% in that test, maybe its higher when you're racing on [AMG] and hence the loosing connection.

I can't be of any more help, other than suggesting something drastic as changing [to a better, if there is one] ISPs or moving to Europe.
