Simons team did make a change to the nameserver (remove IPV6) which may have made a difference.  To be honest only really way to test would be to ping one of the routers.

Latest graph looks pretty good to me IMHO

[Rik]

It does, doesn't it. Mine are pretty consistent now, with occasional spikes, which for me have no impact.

[esh]

I'm still frequently 160+. Humm.

[Rik]

Talk to support, Esh.

Even after rebooting my router I'm getting a ping of around 300

[Rik]

Don't trust the ping returned from that site, Bridge. Instead, ping IDNet or the BBC directly.

[bridgej]

how do I do that?

[Rik]

Windows? Hit Start > Run > type CMD and hit enter. In the resultant window, type ping www.idnet.net -n 10 and hit enter. To cut'n'paste, right click the title bar, select Edit > select all, then hit enter. That will copy, and you can just use Ctrl-V to paste in a post.

Here's my result:

ping www.idnet.net -n 10

[Rik]

Are you interleaved, David?

[bridgej]

I've tried, a window appears, it goes through the list of numbers as above, but it disappears before i can copy and paste it, any ideas, I'm using cr*ppy Vista btw

[David]

No I had it switched off

So am I bridgej when you say disappears what do you mean ?

[Rik]

No I had it switched off  

They are a bit higher than I would have expected for a non-interleaved line. Mine are on an interleaved line.

Sorry, I'm on XP. The window should stay, though, until you close it.

Interleaved turned off about 2 weeks ago,may have been last week Rik when it was all pings here,just checking router

On Vista you don't get the run option from the start menu, it's just a box at the bottom where you type the info and hit return, then a 'DOS' style window appears, runs through the list if figures then closes immediately, without giving the option to close it or keep it open

[Rik]

I'm out of my depth, in that case. Pick up a copy of PingGraph from here:

http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/moreinternet/files.htm

and run that for a while. Use the IDNet nameserver for the best picture, 212.69.40.3

Press Windows Key + R, then follow riks post

[Rik]

Thanks, Paul. 

[bridgej]

Press Windows Key + R, then follow riks post

tried that, the same thing happens, just closes on it's own - is there somewhere this info gets stored?

[Rik]

Not once the window is closed.

Pressing Windows Key + R brings up the run box.

When that is showing. Type in cmd into the box and press enter.

This will bring up the prompt window.

Type in the following : ping www.idnet.net -n 10

[David]

Works for me every time no problem at all Paul ?
