PING

RA-1972 · Mar 06, 2008, 22:32:30

Has any one notice there pings have doubled since yesterday or is it just mine , on gw5 .

Simon · Mar 06, 2008, 22:51:21

Umm... haven't checked. I don't, often. Want us to ping somewhere for you?

Rik · Mar 07, 2008, 00:47:30

Pings normal here, eg 24ms to the BBC.

Gary · Mar 07, 2008, 08:43:44

Mine are Ok, Gw5 I was informed is what most people are on, the one Rik and a few others use is a much older one and only a few are on that, so the "is it Gw5" idea is a red herring of sorts, that's from IDNet towers

I'd agree, Gary, we're the dinosaurs around here.

I'm just wondering when my sell-by date is.

Don't tell Sue

She's probably read the label already, Gary.

I take it you have interleaving on, Philip?

yes, are they ok?

Rik · Mar 07, 2008, 10:06:01

Bit slower than mine, but ping times increase the further you are away from London, and also depending on how 'deep' your interleaving is, mine seems to the at the lightest level. At less than 1/100th second difference, I doubt either of us would notice, Philip.

Actually mine are a tad slower now, was about 23ms the other day $:-\$

Philip · Mar 07, 2008, 10:13:30

I'm happy enough with the performance

Gary · Mar 07, 2008, 10:15:23

I'm not worried, it does vary, I think BT have Hoobs working at my exchange

Not just them, I can be too.

paulsmith109 · Mar 07, 2008, 15:45:18

Try dropping and then re-establishing PPP a few times, checking ping results on each reconnection. I have seen pings of 30ms or higher on some sessions, but on my current session (had to try 4 attempts at this) I have now achieved a steady ping of 12ms to www.idnet.net
Try it and see what happens - you have nothing to lose!
BTW, I also connect via gw5 - could the gateway be the culprit?
