Recently, after picking up Second Life for the first time in a few months, I began having significant movement lag. For example, I press and hold down the movement key for a good four or five seconds until my character actually starts moving. Then, I can't get her to stop walking until the same amount of time after I ease up on the key. I've done quite a bit of research, through forums, answers, and the like, but everything seems to point to a bad internet connection. That can't be true. I am currently on a university network, and I used to be able to play smoothly, but suddenly that's not the case. The internet hasnt changed, just my location on campus. When looking at the statistics bar, this is what it looks like: FPS : 28.7 to 30+ Bandwidth: 0-34 Packet Loss: 0 (but on occasion will jump up to 80%, but only for a second or two) Ping Sim: (Here's the clincher) I've seen it as low as 120, and as high as 10000, but on average it sits around 3000. I've tried everything, including following several guides designed to speed up my veiwer (which is a fully up to date Phoenix), but I can't seem to make the movement lag go away. I would be grateful i someone could walk me through a solution. Edit: I just took a test using Speedtest and my download speed is at 61.81, my upload speed is at 48.82, and my ping is 8. Edit 2: I live in the USA, on the east coast. I just ran the tracert command, and it gave me a bunch of numbers I don't understand. I'll post them here and hope one of you can make sense of them. traceroute to 216.82.46.94 (216.82.46.94), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 9.763 ms 7.619 ms 1.088 ms 2 172.18.102.129 (172.18.102.129) 4.666 ms 11.910 ms 1.470 ms 3 10.100.3.1 (10.100.3.1) 3.139 ms 3.834 ms 1.594 ms 4 12.127.169.41 (12.127.169.41) 5.023 ms 3.238 ms 3.015 ms 5 12.122.117.70 (12.122.117.70) 9.088 ms 11.415 ms 27.299 ms 6 cr2.attga.ip.att.net (12.122.1.221) 9.518 ms 9.458 ms 10.376 ms 7 attga02jt.ip.att.net (12.123.22.153) 95.248 ms 61.429 ms 7.223 ms 8 192.205.35.234 (192.205.35.234) 4.993 ms 6.663 ms 7.449 ms 9 xe-1-0-0.mpr3.atl6.us.above.net (64.125.31.45) 7.385 ms 37.056 ms 45.418 ms 10 xe-2-1-0.cr2.iah1.us.above.net (64.125.31.50) 90.315 ms 20.257 ms 21.878 ms 11 xe-0-1-0.mpr4.phx2.us.above.net (64.125.28.73) 71.546 ms 44.527 ms 50.329 ms 12 xe-1-0-0.mpr3.phx2.us.above.net (64.125.27.97) 61.704 ms 48.879 ms 42.249 ms 13 64.124.161.254.allocated.above.net (64.124.161.254) 43.216 ms 80.949 ms 44.794 ms 14 * * * 15 * * And then it just trails on witha bunch of stars.
