This is my Be connection - I get 5-6ms to bbc.co.uk from southwest London with fastpath, syncing at about 13meg. It is a joy to game on, except when my flatmate starts downloading the internet. I tried Virgin recently (30meg with super!!hub) as I just moved house and the jitter was ridiculous. I'm still playing QuakeWorld mostly which is largely based on servers in denmark and sweden, and get about 23-25ms to servers in denmark/southern sweden and a little higher to Stockholm.

For those who may be interested here's my BT Infinity one via SamKnows moitoring and TBB graph.

The big red bit is as my IP addy has changed again, happens all the time with BT.:rolleyes:

Very nice driz :drool::drool:

I was really happy with BE in terms of their customer service and expertise + willingness to help. The only problem was that my BT line was proving unsuitable as I had huge 6000+ single ping spikes and some packet loss

Eventually I had go reluctantly leave and try cable, but VM has continual low level jitter and spiking for me :(

2 be honest i dont think Virgin cable will ever get their latency down as far as ADSL. They just dont seem to want or have the inclination to do so.

Until gamers start leaving and they get a reputation for not being gamer friendly

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

not as good tho ;) you have a steady stream of packetloss there, SRA would likely prevent that. BE decided to not adopt SRA like nearly every isp, instead they concentrate on what works best for short lines.

how is your ip changing do you keep turning the router off? or do they force a disconnect to change the ip?

Base latency can and does get lower than adsl, jitter is the main issue.

here is some examples to bbc.co.uk.

Current VM connection - 13ms
ukonline - 9ms
xilo - 20ms
aaisp - 25ms
entanet - 25ms

all those fast path, bt wholesale's network seems to have very odd routing to london, with interleaving it wasnt unusual for me to have latency above 40ms. Of course low latency is near useless if jitter is excessive.

The wonderful service in Reading RG6 area.

That's really ropey. Even I don't get that when P2P downloading at full connection speed (20Mb).

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Happens automatically Chrys, Modem never turned off most likely due to lease time, don't forget although VM's dynamic most times the IP is "sticky"

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

even on dialup the ip only changes on a disconnection. So for your ip to change there must be some sort of downtime happening, I know some EU dsl isp's forcefully disconnect daily to change ip's so am wondering if thats what BT are doing or if its simply your modem dropping out.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

They sort of already are thanks to their hamfisted throttling. Now we just need to prod some of the right people into comparing jitter across providers and VM will look like muppets.

Especially now that VM are taking out huge adverts in gaming mags saying how good their service is for gamers. :erm:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Could be either Chrys but as it happens aropund 4 am I don't feel like staying up just to see.

It doesn't really bother me except to keep changing the IP for the TBB Monitor.

Hi guys,

Need a bit of help with this monitor, it seems somethings blocking it -

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/m...456e8997ae.png

I'm guessing it's the SHub, as it worked perfectly when I was with BE, though I'm not sure at this point cause I've done what I think is everything there is to get it working.

What I've done thus far;

Any help appreciated, thanks.
