Don't play in Open if your Internet is that bad.
Seriously, it's not made for bad Internet.

It's not bad at all.
It's just that a lot of people who hate PvP will not shut up about it.

People think fdev investigates clogging accusations? I suspect otherwise. But that aside it seems we have moved off into clogging/mlogging arguments now.
Neither "problem" effects my gameplay.
Been accused of it by a member that pretended to be pirate and just ganked everyone that heaved to for them instead of trying to take any cargo, but that is my only experience with clogging/mlogging. Never actually witnessed it, but then I don't RP as a sociopath in game so....

Usually that net connection when it got bad was so bad that even web surfing was made for that
Problem was that said connection would do the trick suddenly and without warning. At point good going, at second point just garbage. Wasn't very fun at all. My point is that we really cannot be sure if every sudden drop really is clog.Deleted member 110222

That's your problem I'm afraid.Usually that net connection when it got bad was so bad that even web surfing was made for that
You should not be playing any online game at all in that kind of situation. Sorry, but you're really just forcing your own awful ping on everyone else at that point.
Pretty selfish if you think about it.
Glad you changed your ISP, sounds like you were getting ripped off.
Uncovered? Really, they did not have officially any issues. I checked from their own issue center. Only after I publicly started ridiculing their marketing at their FB pages, I managed to get contact to real tech people, not just standard customer "service". And then came the real answer. Too many customers, too little capacity at their 4g network.
its verry common. u not even RP as as a sociopath to be witness of this. even high combat ranked vettes in combat zones doing that.

Pro tip: Do not even think about "roleplay" in an online mode where you can run into anyone and everyone.
Nobody is obligated to respect anyone's RP.
It's a game with spaceships, armed with guns. It's absurd to expect people not to use those guns.
Assuming said company works honestly. And assuming that say email from Fdev would be forwarded to their tech people, not just to so called customer service.
Both kind of assumptions I think would have been wrong. Considering my experiences at being their paying customer. For me getting real answers took that public ridicule, long discussion with customer service (and them trying to sell me new modem), untill I said "hey lets stop playing now, I myself study in polytechnic network engineering, I do know that your answers are not going to work, tested them all ready." At that point they connected me to their real network people. And that guy finally got me an honest answer.
Real issue of course was the pandemic. Before that, their network in this area was good enough. But suddenly thousands of people are staying home, streaming videos from netflix, remote studying, conferencing, gaming and so on. Load just goes to the point where their el-cheapo infrastucture just cannot cope anymore. That of course did not stop them marketing their internet connections at same area, no way....
My county saw it coming three years ago and invested in a fiber infrastructure after 20 years of my former ISP (using slow ADSL, now 4G) doing diddly squat. Now have 1.0Gbit/s fiber and the former 4G ISP lost 10k customers.
theoretical situation:
Space Fight. Two ship shooting each other. One loses his shields trying to wake. Gromed. Hull 10%. Stopped taking damage. Disappears.
Coincidence?
by 0.3% yes. But does FDev want to lose 0.3% of its customers? they want the whole cake.
no, they ban people for various reasons.
Well if your opponent had same ISP as I had, yes, connection was quite uncaring for whatever users situation was.
yes but if so, frontier can verify this,
you also have the option to contact with your opponent via friend request , explain the situation and make a re-mach or something.
Latter one would have been more workable way. Only thing Frontier would see would have been either degrading or sudden loss of connection. Especially latter would have been same as disconnecting net manually.
But yeah I do believe most of sudden dropouts are clogging events, but not all of them.

total . Any ISP releasing your details to a non policing authority would be in breach of GDPR. The best they could get from the ISP would be in relation to any bandwidth issues on the day and time in question. Even with that information, it would be useless. The connection can be bad in so many many places. Contention issues just for a plain example. Just because the ISP says the bandwidth was fine, does not infer that the connection I'm operating on is not contended by 10 other households.
