I honestly don't know what's going on with pings. I'm told that the network is re-balanced and there's no congestion, so I'm left with believing IDNet and blaming BT for poor capacity on the DSLAM VPs and backhaul, or not believing IDNet. The fact that WBC doesn't seem to be suffering suggests to me that it's a BT issue. :(

:but:

Rik, in that case, what I find puzzling is that all the users with problems appear to be on gw5. I don't think I have seen one from anyone on another gateway complaining about speed or pings.

From what I've seen so far we all appear to be on adsl max too, not seen anyone complain thats on wbc that I can remember.

I am on GW5, and although my pings seem slightly higher than average at the moment, I don't seem to be suffering as much as some.  Pings were high yesterday, so I rebooted my router, but that was over 24 hours ago, and pings now are:

My pings and speed have been all over the place for the last few days, but have been better this afternoon and evening.
I hope it stays that way - I don't want to have to think about moving ISP.  :fingers:

And I would like to add to that this was my ping graph from last Tuesday 14th July the day after the Idnets central keeled over & was rebooted, sadly it only lasted for the one night before it went crazy again.

Never did get a reply back from support regarding the mad ping issue, but its still up and down, websites taking forever to load, then its fine then it's slow again. But apart from that everything is fine :bawl:

I am on GW4 and my pings are crazy any time of the day, 11pm at night and still 100+. I am almost tempted to ask for a switch to GW5 if that is possible because I cannot believe the pings can be any worse than I have experienced over the last couple of months.

Maybe somebody can explain why doing a tracert for me always seems to show GW2 as being the problem?. I am not sure how to decipher the information but that hop does not like me  :bawl:

It's the ping to the destination address that really counts. I'm sure someone will correct me if that's not the case :)

You do not want to be on gw5 with me im seeing 300ms here right now good riddance idnet tbh  :mad:

I too am GW5 and ADSL Max but I am nice and stable since my line was fixed the other week. Games have been constantly smooth as silk for the first time since what seems like when the new pipe was installed.

My ping was slightly lower before the new pipe awhile back but I'm not worried about that now that it's stopped stuttering "choking" in game. It could have been my line all along though and it going down slowly before it was fixed.

Many thanks, sounds logical, unlike the fact that many people do not have an issue and others are at their wits end with this ping debacle. Location, router or hardware differences or just the way the wind is blowing, its damn frustrating if you are a sufferer.

I can fully sympathise. I run a large on-line gaming clan as well as a World of Warcraft Guild so I totally understand the problems caused by high latency  :(

I tend to agree with you, Jim. Based on all I've read here, I believe that exchange, and possibly backhaul congestion, is behind this.

On gw5 here and Max, today after a day or so of stability in the ping department, pings of 41 average I find that they have indeed returned to the lows I used to enjoy 21ms average to idnet.net and multiplay.co.uk.

Hope the good old days are returning.
