See my post here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12...ality-bad.html

I'm guessing Virgin Media aren't the best for gaming.

What set up do you have for your home network and what OS are you using?

do you have a DoS firewall running? you may want to disable any firewalls (software or hardware) when running this test.

it's very weird then that your results show no ping activity, you may need to enable responding to internet originated pings on your router or on comp to get accurate results
