High pings! Something to do with exchange upgrade?

[qweezy]

Hey,

Was trying to play some games online today but noticed my ping was extremely high on all servers.  I have tried restarting the router several times.

This is what I get pinging idnet.

Is this something to do with ADSL2?  I recently received an email stating my exchange had been upgraded.

Check with support, they can tell you if there's anything affecting your connection.

Is there anything running in the background, a download etc?

Nothing running in the background at all.

I have had a similar problem with high pings before and restarting the router seemed to solve them.  Not this time though!

Like surfing through glue. And, yes, i've rebooted the router.

Guys, you need to check with IDNet.

Hi James

Are you running anything in the background?
