Why GameColony.com is now much faster

1. We have moved to a new data center, which allowed us to upgrade our external network - it is now 10 times faster (changed from 100Mbps to 1 Gbps). 2. We have upgraded most of our internal network to 10Gbps - it also became 10 times faster. 3. We have moved our game servers to the new secure & fast <a target=_blank href=https://www.oracle.com/servers/sparc/t7-4/index.html>Oracle SPARC T7-4</a> servers which approximately quadrupled the speed of our game servers.

Haven't noticed any difference on my end



Connection speed & analysis of a personal connection

You can issue commands in bold below inside a command 'cmd' window and see where the connection bottlenecks are. Bottlenecks can appear anywhere among the several intermediate networks connecting your location to GameColony. Another common bottleneck is your aging or orerheated WIFI router that starts losing communication packets. The first command's output below will show the times in milliseconds for any intermediate network 'hop'. Times above 200ms are too slow. If any asterisks appear, they would indicate potential packet losses. <B>tracert a1.gamecolony.com</B> 1 ms 3 ms 1 ms wp.comcast.net [10.1.10.1] 12 ms 11 ms 13 ms 96.120.65.25 16 ms 14 ms 11 ms 162.151.171.141 17 ms 14 ms 10 ms 162.151.150.6 14 ms 15 ms 16 ms be-334-ar01.needham.ma.boston.comcast.net [96.108.70.141] 13 ms 12 ms 13 ms be-1003-pe02.onesummer.ma.ibone.comcast.net [68.86.90.173] 20 ms 15 ms 15 ms 96-87-8-114-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net [96.87.8.114] 21 ms 23 ms 21 ms border3.ae1-bbnet1.bsn.pnap.net [63.251.128.7] 26 ms 20 ms 25 ms gamecolony-9.edge1.bsn003.pnap.net [63.251.128.182] 31 ms 21 ms 23 ms college.gamecolony.com [216.52.50.42] <B>ping -t a1.gamecolony.com</B> Pinging a1.gamecolony.com [216.52.50.42] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=19ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=29ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=23ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=33ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=22ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=22ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=22ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=21ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=23ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=21ms TTL=53 Reply from 216.52.50.42: bytes=32 time=21ms TTL=53
