Vista> Start search> type cmd> right click on cmd run as administrator then type ping idnet.net. This seems to be more accurate than that speedtest. If pings are high it may be worth a reboot

Good for effort, poor for result.

Steve · Feb 07, 2009, 13:44:10

Worth a reboot? unless your worried about the resync and a profile drop

Rik · Feb 07, 2009, 13:45:08

I've just reset the PPP session, Steve, without any improvement.

David · Feb 07, 2009, 13:45:24

You mean you have access to the innermost workings of David's router

David · Feb 07, 2009, 13:50:51

He has access to my freezer and even the wife has a grin on her face........and I was on nights last night

It's probably because he's using his mobile, Rik, obviously got a poor signal.

We're still working the routers today to improve our routing.

David · Feb 07, 2009, 14:55:50

Simon........................Now thats service

Rik · Feb 07, 2009, 14:57:14

Is it worth trying to improve pings with a re-connection, Simon, or best to wait a while?

Simon_idnet · Feb 07, 2009, 15:04:35

None of our pipes are congested today. We are quite well balanced, for a change! Once the routes have reconverged we should be back to normal.

Rik · Feb 07, 2009, 15:06:19

Well balanced. Hmmm.

David · Feb 07, 2009, 15:14:20

Sebby · Feb 07, 2009, 19:06:25

I knew I'd done it, but you can't edit using the mobile site.

Rik · Feb 07, 2009, 19:08:12

That's a drag.

I lost ppp earlier, and then was having a few momentary drop outs in WoW. It's been fine for a few hours now, though.
