Pingtest.net

bloody heck, :O thats terrible, why not change suppliers?
mines pretty good lol

 

Huh, wonder why it went to Philadelphia, when I'm closer to Washington, D.C

 

I had a connection that was almost as bad when I was with O2 (originally with Tiscali/Talk Talk where the connection was very variable) a few weeks ago, though it was the speed rather than the line quality that was particularly awful with a download speed worse than dialup even when syncing at 8 Mb. Sadly I don't have the links to the speed and ping tests.

Luckily I was within the 30 day trial so I switched again, now I'm happy.


I might try turning off interleaving sometime to see if I can improve the ping a bit more.

 

the 40-50 will only be through fibre op's do you get your net through the phone line? have you tried changing the micro filter attached to the line?

 

A useful tip I found was to disable the bell/ring wire (not used by modern phones) which helped my connection a lot.
Take a look at the ThinkBroadband FAQ. I used some insulation tape to disable it.

 

i'd change supplier, i've been with some crappy suppliers in my time but never had anything that bad, on a side note,

are you using a stock supplier router? or your own one, if it's stock, try restarting it, i've found mine bogs down every week

 

From a Brit point of view my location is the back of beyond:
(the second one is near on twelve thousand miles and is not that much worse than yours I'd get very angry at BT about this)

 

Well for some reason, it wouldn't test packet loss for me, even when I changed browsers so whatever:

 

i hate AT&T...they constantly disconnect me, and im supposedly paying for 1.5mbps but only get 150kbps...gosh, idk why i havent changed to road runner or cox... *sigh*
