I spoke to someone recently who had been sold Sky Fibre to improve his online gaming. He clearly had no idea about the connection technicalities.

He called to complain that he was only getting 21ms ping to the game server whereas his son-in-law was getting 70ms on Virgin 60Mb.

Oh, how I chortled.

I explained lower is better on ping and he was happy.

Don't know why he was sold fibre, though, really. He was getting 21Mb on ADSL although the better upload would probably better for gaming.
