My pings have gone crazy this afternoon:

Of course, it might just have something to do with the fact I was uploading a large file at the time. This is how they looked after...

I would post your question to IDNetters. They have experts there that will no doubt be able to help, in particular Rik is the bizzo on matters such as these ;) ;D :evil: >:D
;D
Thanks Rik
You took it really well! :thumb:
The Michael? ;)
The problem is receding like the Columbia Glacier ;)
Or my hairline. :)
That comes in about half an hour, I've only just taken the tablet. ;)
Have to say I've done pings and traceroutes to several locations and tried to stream some video off servers in the States and it runs very smoothly indeed.

Now try the same thing whilst uploading a 70mb file, Mitch ;)
I don't have cause to do that much uploading at the minute but it would suffer because of the contention
The ping of 30ms is very acceptable. At 400-500ms though, software might start to generate errors. After just a little alcohol your reaction time is less. So, you'll be driving in your computer games like your drunk!!! ;)

Oh, that is not me talking BTW!
From what I've been taught 100 ms or lower is what you should aim for when designing a network, a little bit over is ok but too much over that and the user will start to notice.
I've an idea Rik.... get interleaving taken off! :whistle: :no: :slap:
;D

You joke, but it worked for me. Halved my ping times. I'd rather pay for the reliable and fast (latency) connection over the high bandwidth (mistakenly advertised as "fast", when it's not a measurement of speed, by other ISPs) any day.
Too high an (FEC) error rate on my line to get away with FASTPATH... but I don't do gaming so I'm not complaining:

I've not checked mine for a while.I do struggle a bit on wifi with adslmax not as fortunate as those on adsl2+

Perhaps I ought to complain. :whistle: >:D
I have interleaving turned off with a 8128 sync on adslmax over wifi and my pings are always in the region of 30ms of so always have been even with an ethernet connection, guess its where I live and the route taken. :dunno:

Nice Pings there Stev! Mine are in the region of 20ms. Wish I got that to the servers I needed it on. :(
I think we should have a little "customer hall of fame" for longest line, fastest download, and most forum posts! :whistle:
Mine have been as good as that since Saturday evening . Its odd that I had no internet connection for 3 hours that evening,no one can tell me why but the ping times have been better since.
Maybe BT have been tweaking some of the routers on 21CN.
Maybe but at the moment I have 21CN pings on good old adslmax.
BT moved you to a new VP? :dunno:
That'd do it.
I'll enjoy it whilst it lasts.
Could be a change in wind direction.
;D
Could also be you've had a heavy downloader nearby whose been booted from his/her ISP.
Or gone back to school
Distinctly possible.
