Re: Internet - high ping.
Hi Ozzy121 and welcome to the Forum
I don't think that there is anything you can do, people may well come on here and ask you to post your modem settings, disconnect your router, reboot your modem and all that jazz. If its been fine and just recently gone to pot I would say unless something drastic happened with your setup then it is the VM network.
I'm on so called 20 meg which to be fair if I was measuring download speed only then it can get up to 19 :-

That was yesterday morning so there is nothing wrong with my setup I would say.
Nevertheless come Sunday night at 10 pm I was kicked from 2 servers due to high ping, and I mean high, up to 800 - 900 at times. That is diabolical and unplayable even at 180 which is about 10 times my normal ping, that says to me the network can't cope.
Now then all this may be down to me as one lad upstairs is on Half Life and the other on browsing, Vent and Xfire, I would like to think that this would not saturate my connection. Sometimes it's ok others it's not.
I'm seriously thinking of having an ADSL connection just for myself if things don't pick up come the Summer hols.
