Sorry hijacking but by the way of the thread is these result (more) for tracert for VM
BAD/MEDIUM?GOOD?VERY GOOD????
thanks

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

No problems, other than my ping being too slow to compete with other gamers. All top competitive players have pings of 5. My ping never goes below 20 and I need it to never go above 10.

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

Could FTTC deliver less than 10ms pings consistently from Swansea to (say) London? I'm not convinced. It would be significantly better than VM though, one would imagine.

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

Well like Qasi said, you aren't going to get pings that low on game servers with any traditional ISP. (Virgin or DSL based isp on the BT network)

Top competitive gamers who are anal about latency will have leased lines or are lucky enough to use ISPs who serve only their local area with their own network and don't have to worry about hundreds of thousands of customers.

You just aren't going to get the sort of service you want unless you do the same.

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

Be* fastpath used to give low results like this but they seem to have gone down the majorty route of overselling nowadays

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

Around or slightly under 10ms, yes. Significantly lower, no.

A good network will get data from London to Swansea in about 4-6ms. The latency of the FTTC hop itself is <4.7ms, so add that together you'd get <8.7ms ping in a best-case scenario. Don't have solid numbers for BT Infinity but last I checked Swansea was reached in ~5.5ms which plus the FTTC hop would give you a consistent ~10ms exactly.

Actually BT do pretty well, and VM do too when routing is direct. North of the border (i.e. Scotland) both give about as low a latency as is going to happen on any ISP, mainly due to there being very little they can screw up this far north, there's just no other way for data to go.

Be* have started rebuilding their entire network from scratch. Hopefully this means we'll see improvements...

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

Yeah and reports are that it is worse than before

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

This is a typical ping for me. To have any jitter is unusual on this connection.

I am probably lucky to have good line quality trouble-free over all, my issues with up load speed the other week not withstanding. Having said that I see some packet loss on the current graph.

During speed tests my ping is close to 20ms, but in IE9 it it usually lower <15ms. I guess we need to be aware that our own setup can influence ping tests.

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

I had ADSL1 BT line before moving to an area with Cable. I used adsl24 isp via BT 20cn network (connected to london i think)

I got between 15-16ms on adsl1

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

Lol fail. Thankfully I've already made everyone I know move over to Infinity.

More than just that, web-based (especially the flash based Speedtest.net) ping tests are highly inaccurate. Best way to get an indication of ping is using the ping command.

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

I have a question about pings, so thought I would put it in here.

My brother he has VM 10Mb and his pings are around 17ms he has the hub, he is wireles.
I am on 100Mb and mine are around 32ms, I have the superhub, I am wired.

Can someone tell me why my pings are higher?
Just did a pingtest.net and my connection has got worse

http://www.pingtest.net/result/65259164.png

The jitter has got some what worse, I always use to get A or A+

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

I remember posting my ukonline graph and people thought it was some expensive leased line ;)

Re: Analyse my Ping Traceroute
 

Ok, could you give me some more information on "leased broadband lines", because it's the first i've heard of these, I understand though that businesses get leased lines. How would I go about finding a leased line in my area and i'm guessing cost per month will be extremely high? I don't mind spending though as this is really important to me, I need to fix this problem with ping/ latency.
