If you were logged on from work, Paul, were you using your physical connection, or your account, if you see what I mean?

I was using the line at home as i logged into the router and ran the ping from there, did the same the other day when i posted on here and i got over 50ms to the same IP address, that time i was at home using my main pc.

our pings are high on our office line anyways, we are lucky to get below 100ms here.

Thanks.

Hi all

Im pretty sure that what my original post was about is due to being put on diffrent VP,s each time i sync up/login to IDnet, it just i didnt realise that could happen as i,ve never noticed it in the last 5 years and dont know any thing about how networks work.
As for the pings fluctuating on IDnet, i must admit this is another concern of mine as my adsl is used for gaming mainly and there by far the most unstable/spikey pings iv had so far on any isp that was,nt having contention problems. I,ve just migrated back to BT/IDnet from Be LLU as they was having contention/ping probs in the S/E and i didnt want to wait 5-6 weeks for the upgrades to fix it.
The posts from pre router upgrades pretty much all said pings was very good/stable but tbh i dont really know cus i migrated in just days after that
Anyway, thats life

I've certainly not got any ping issues or fluctuations...
