Hi Andy, Thanks for the reply

I've re-run the test using the suggested london server -

By my reconning this is far below what you would expect on a 4mb line, infact this is only just coming in quicker than a 512k line, I think 550kb/s equals about 69kB/s, somewhat slower than the 400kB/s I used to get prior to these problems.

Pings to www.bbc.co.uk

Min - 54ms
Max - 162ms
Average - 83ms

Packet loss varies between 0% and 50% when pinging the bbc.

I dont know if your familiar with a program called HLSW, our clan use this to Rcon the server and join the server rather than use the in game browser. It also displays a trace of pings over time. This is an image I took a couple of weeks ago but is still representative of the current problem, red bars show packet loss -

The server I play on is our clan server, located in London (I believe), I still get poor pings even with few players on, all of which have 30-50 ping themselves.

Any further thoughts?
