Hi all

Just interested in people with low ping and low jitter connections. How is your internal, and for that matter your external wiring. For me the wiring that was left for me to route in the cupboard under the stairs was left in a coil, along with the phone cabling in a coil, on top of that coil. To cut a long story short, with the wiring like this I still got 50megon speedtests but got pingtests of around 50 and 60ms with jitter of 30ms. Since I have routed the cabling and removed the coils the ping tests are around 25ms with 10ms jitter. I'm wondering if people who post pingtests of sub 20ms ping and 2ms or less jitter have short internal coax wires, or if they have shorter external wiring. This is just a suspicion and I have no proof, but in my case the coils of wiring seemed to cause interference. Also the power leads for my phone and superhub run through the wall alongside the coax cable. I'm going to move these tomorrow to see if they make any difference because at the moment online gaming pings are up and down like a hooker on crack.
Any input on lowering pings would be useful for me, I'm quite a keen gamer and id especially like to lose this jitter
Thanks
