Strange connection/rubberbanding issue. Need help!

[Metalsnake27]

EDIT:  I am currently investigating a possible packet loss issue. I've done 3 tests and lost about 1 or 2 packets each test. Going to continue to look into it. 

 

Recently, for about a month, I've been having some very strange rubber banding issues with SL. There is no pattern to these, they sometimes happen and then other times don't and I can move perfectly.

By rubberbanding: Whenever I move my avatar, he will either fidgit, bounce, move forward,backwards, or to the sides randomly, or be being pushed back when moving. The delay can be anywhere between 1-5 seconds, it seems completly random.

I've been trying to track down the problem for some time, and still can't figure out the issue. Here are some statistics from some tests:

SL: Average ping seems to be about 115-150. (This has never changed)Will occassionally jump to 160-190 when downloading a large section of textures/objects or when the viewer begins to lag/freeze. Lowest ping I've had is 60, which happens only in very small and non-populated parcels. Packet loss remains at 0%.

I am using an ethernet cable and not wireless

Speedtest results to my closest server: 

1. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3259096854

2. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3259099473

 

Pingtest results: (Ignore the packet loss, I've done other tests and it's at 0. This is due to a stupid fault with Java)

Misc. Information:

1. Occassionaly my friend complains about my voice cutting out, this is only for a short moment and only seems to happen with an occassional lag spike. I can ALWAYS hear her voice perfectly.

2. This has not been apparent in any other game I have been playing on my PC or PS4 I still have to run some tests on different games to see what results they produce.

3. Chat, Object interactions, etc, all seem to behave normally with very little delays... it seems to be only movement. 

 

If anyone can help me with this problem.... because I have no idea what to do. Should I try opening firewall ports for SL and see if it improves anything? It's the only thing I can think of. This started I want to say about a few days after Christmas.

I have never had much luck tracing packet loss issues with speedtest.net.  I do a bit of travel, log on from different routers a lot.  And SL packet loss can be a real issue (5%+), even when the speedtest site shows low or no packet loss.  In SL, look at the help>about tab, it will produce a report that includes packet loss at the bottom.  If that is more than 1 or 2 %, you will notice nasty rubber banding.

Here are some links to info that I have found useful for diagnosing connection issues.

Firestorm reports 0 packets loss.... however I am still rubber banding on and off.

Been doing constant ping and traceroute tests to many different locations and getting just random results. Sometimes perfect, other times packet loss, other times ping spikes. It's very inconsistant.

 

Thinking about resetting my modem and router, but I've done so before and I was still having issues afterwards.

It might just be ping spikes, or the fact that so many people are streaming Netflix, I honestly just don't know.

Ok, something is going on and I'm not sure what.

I was having the issue BAD today. Here's what happens:

1. My avatar moves forward as normal.

2. Anywhere between 3-5 seconds later, my avatar gets pushed in a random direction, usually in the direction he was walking.

3. After landing when flying/jumping, he bounces as normal, lands, and then bounces again about 3 seconds later.

Looking at the stats from firestorm:

 

Ping: 85-125

Packet loss: 0/65,860

 

 I even tried taking everything off, loaded a default avatar, still having the same issue. 

 

So... what the heck is the issue? I tried moving different regions, same issue.
