I've been some issues with Time Warner regarding packet loss which would disconnect me on a regular basis while gaming. Apparently it was an issue with the lines outside my home, which has been looked at and fixed. I got a new modem as well, and the tech had me set the TTL setting to 17200 from 3600 (I think).
One thing I've noticed (besides lower pings and less timeouts) is that a) I no longer get booted when I do encounter 2-3 consecutive timeouts and 2) I occasionally see really high pings - around 2000-3000ms - but it doesn't affect the gaming.
For all intents and purposes I can play fine now (fingers crossed).
My question is what exactly does the TTL router setting affect?
TIA
