I see Egg.
Now what about choke?
Is what happens when you get to your door with all of the fat women, and because of the size of your front door, you can't get them all in at once - so some have to wait outside and then they are no longer interested in the throws of passion so wander off and get lost.
I prefer to think of choke as when you wait till she has a mouthful of chips then you ram your willy in after them as if you were loading a cannon in a Battle of Waterloo re-enactment

Quote from: Naftman on September 02, 2010, 09:39:29 AM
@Egg:
Indeed, but like Brahms said: what about choke ? TF2 needs bandwith too, not an astronomical amount, but when you've been put on connection-pool-sharing or something similar, and he has other people doing normal internet surfing on his network, he could get lag sometimes.
It would account for the randomness of his problem (as seen last night).
Of course your point is a 100% right, no question about that, just trying to find the cause of the problem. Bad ping is the consequence.
(read on only if you want to waste your time)
Another posibility: (with lenghty description)
Internet in Belgium sucks, or used to suck for a while. While pretty much the whole of (Western, and most of Eastern) Europe had 20, 40, 80 Mbps connections allready, we were stuck with a shitty 3Mbps line.
Anyway, when they FINALLY upgraded the speeds/bandwiths, apparently they changed the DSL mode from normal (I forgot the real name) to interleaving.
You never notice this, as your router is supposed to take care of this automatically. Turns out my router was too old to handle this new type of mode, and interleaving increases latency slightly.
Result: I had trouble maintaining connections at peak hours somehow, when I got through to a technical operator, he told me my DSL-router/modem was working at 90% of it's capacity. So when I started TF2-ing, the poor thing came to a near meltdown.
Bought other router, problem solved.
Choke is when you have too many fat women at your door trying to get in blocking you driveway, and the start to choke each other to make sure they get a piece of your love
A ping is only 32bytes of data (by default), so think of that as a homing pigeon. You send it out to the drop, and it then tries to come home measuring how long it takes, to measure your latency. However on your driveway (broadband connection), it has to fight through all the fat women (all downloads) to get through, so is delayed hence affecting your latency.....
.....occasionally a fat woman will eat one of your pigeons, and you dont see him again....

Also, excellent analogies all round. Well done.

So in essence Virgin will throttle back your service by up to 75% if you use the internet between 9:00am and 9:00pm. Unless you've purchased their "XXL" package.
