Latency looked bad too

today's test
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/button/13720...

on other speed test sites latency is 15 or less
what can you do to lower it?

here's tests from speedtest.net

What can I do?

I could do lots of things, but I doubt anyone would want to pay for the hardware and time involved to rebuild networks.

The fact that test today was OK and as far as I am aware there was no congestion on the network the speed test runs on and that is 10 Gbps capable means probably just one of those vagueries of the Internet or a little congestion on a bit of Plusnet which others have mentioned recently.

In reply to a post by goatty2:

I wouldn't care about that - maybe other sites measure latency differently or just get different results from different software.

On a speed test to here I get 22 latency, but I get 10/11 pinging.

Hi,

Is your connection over a wired or wireless connection?

Pings are usually a small icmp or udp packet speedtests are usually a small tcp packet

Hi
connection is wired
just done a test on speedtest.net and latency gone from 15 to 29

Is that the same server on speedtest.net as you can end up on different servers in different locations affecting the latency measurement

hi
here's the same server

and this morning from thinkbroadband

The latency can depend on how busy the speedtest server is too. The latency is still at a range where it shouldn't be effecting your online experience.

I'd also suggest trying one at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com to see if there's any difference there.

did 2 test on bt

1 with virus checker on 37.77 down 5.58 up 45.63 ping

with virus disabled 37.54 down 5.63 up 28.75 ping

at least speed not jumping all over the place now, just ping seams to be getting higher

Servers do vary greatly.

I get 7ms from the London- Ealing server on speedtest.net and 20ms~ on the London-Vodafone one.

2 weeks on and latency gone up and speed gone down

rebooted router made no difference
