Which is best

[Silent-One]

Hi

I've been having problems with my eratic pings whilst playing CoD:UO.
It seems to be a common thing amongst game users according to the postings on here.
I've been on to technical support and they have move me to a different upstream.

What I would like to know is, which is the best reading between these 2.....

1st Reading
Downstream channel
power level ..................... -3.67 dBmV
Signal to Noise Ratio.......... 35dB
Upstream channel
power level ..................... -42.75 dBmV

2nd Reading
Downstream channel
power level ..................... -0.90dBmV
Signal to Noise Ratio.......... 36dB
Upstream channel
power level ..................... -41.25dBmV

Cheers

Well after 66 views of this posting I take it no-one knows which is the best reading of the two.

Thanks anyway

2nd reading, not that either is really relevant, sounds like congestion on the upstream.

Telewest obviously still haven't gotten the hang of load balancing That'll be something they learn from us when the inevitable happens

Thanks Ignition...the reason why i'm asking is because, I've played about due to lagging spikes during game play.
The 1st of the 2 readings what you see above is with a FAT -3dB Attentuator on a wireless network, While the 2nd one is without the Attentuator.

After taking myself of the wireless side and connecting via a normal lan cable and putting the Attentuator back on...........

Downstream channel
power level ..................... -1.84dBmV
Signal to Noise Ratio.......... 36dB
Upstream channel
power level ..................... -39.50dBmV

4th Reading with the Attentuator taken back off and still on a lan cable

Downstream channel
power level ..................... -0.51dBmV
Signal to Noise Ratio.......... 36dB
Upstream channel
power level ..................... -38.25dBmV

I'm now presuming that if the 2nd reading was the best out of the 1st 2 then the 4th reading is better out of the 4th.

Since the FAT -3dB Attentuator was fitted by an Engineer, there has been work done on the outside system quite a few times ie: blown Caps, Rewiring Etc

I did have a look at different postings like

aswell as others, but these were guides and didn't answer my actual question
so Thanks for all your help
