Update

Been playing on the Xbox for the last hour, just jumped back on and decided to run a few more tests.

Ping has seemingly returned to normal

And I've just done a speedtest at Namesco

maybe my line is doing some sort of retraining.

Will leave it for a few days yet before contacting support, no need to hassle them just yet.

I wonder whether your profile got chewed during the migration. Keep an eye on things and let support know if all is not well.

Thanks guys,

Will do what you advise.

Looks to me though like interleaving has been enabled on my line, just looking at the ping stats.  Something I definately didn't want.

Hopefully should sort itself out over the next few days.

You would not have been able to sync' at 8128 if interleaving was turned on.  Would be 7616 or similar.  ;D

As Mo says, with interleaving enabled you wouldn't be able to achieve the full sync. The high ping could be for a number of reasons - congested exchange, download activity, BT engineering works etc.

LLU connections generally appear to give lower pings too.

For what it's worth, my pings have increased this week for some bizarre reason. I usually ping to UK servers around 21-22ms, but it's jumped up to around 30 now. My results for Jolt are as follows:

Not sure what's caused it as I had IDNet opt me out of interleaving - I'd suspect BT twiddling with things >:(.

thats some sweet ping there RA

I've been playing CoD4 tonight and the ingame ping was 40 ish, so thats fine.  Also speed has dramatically increased to 6.7 meg earlier on.

If it continues like this then I'll have no worries :)
