You said (DoS) attack. The odd ping isn't an issue but ports scans and Dos attacks I think you'll find are criminal offences. Certainly they will be against ISP T&C.

Nah, there's a difference between a civil offense and a criminal offense.
As for ISP T&C's when you're not a subscriber to said ISP it hardly matters.

Who said the attack occurred in England or Wales?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
Oh I'm well aware of that. Like others I've had him on and off ignore numerous times but right now I'm just letting it run without getting annoyed.
He is clearly losing this time around having admitted on a public bulletin board to making DoS attacks. Now clearly this couldn't have been done from a home internet connection as they simply don't have the available bandwidth so that leave him either running a botnet or far more likely using an employers kit for illicit purposes. If it's the former he may even have attracted the attention of the NSA who maybe even now have a black helicopter hovering over his bedsit and an orange jumpsuit and latex gloves ready and waiting...
OK very unlikely but we can all live in hope.
Inidentally had he read past the first sentence in the article proving him wrong he would have seen.... "The law was already in force in Scotland."

Who said anything about the attack occurring in Scotland?

A 20Mbps upload on BT Infinity is plenty to ping flood any Virgin Media line, and, before the double-speed upgrades was enough to simply flood flood the downstream on most connections too.

As if the NSA would have any jurisdiction here.
More importantly, as if the NSA would take anything I said on an internet forum seriously.

Why do you care if I'm right, wrong, or just arguing semantics? I'm just any old random idiot on the internet, nobody's forcing you to care about my opinion.

What do you care about who and what advice I give to any other random idiot on the internet? :P
ANYWAY, here's something we haven't done in a while - Ping Graphs!

Mine is still looking generally pretty decent, a couple of spikes but those were during some fairly hefty downloading (You can tell when the humble bundle got updated with extra games :P).
Still, nothing compared to a "real" fibre connection:

Only if the default Superhub setting of not responding to pings from the WAN has been changed. BTW I'm pretty sure the law applies in NI too so all territories where Infinity is available.

I don't think our American cousins worry too much about jurisdiction. If they did a certain bearded Arab would still be in Pakistan and not feeding the fishes.

The random idiot is resident in Scotland.
I'm not so my base latency is better. I can also show a current chart as I am still on it.

The default Superhub setting *is* to respond to pings from WAN and to do so without any rate limit. At least it used to be. I haven't tried for a while.
Nor was I admitting using a BT Infinity connection, simply saying it was possible, contrary to your assertion that it wasn't.

FINE.
You want to make it about minimum latency?

My minimum was smaller

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
As you said a while back you no longer have it I'm guessing that isn't your chart.
As my server is in the same data centre as the TBB one I can only assume yours must be on a closer rack....
