Ping

Hi there,
im currently not at home, but my family are, what has happened to my ping? look at my live ping
what could have caused this?

Looks like someone downloading Linux distributions

Yep...looks like someone is downloading something to me too.

Do you mean the step up in the minimum ping?
That's probably a change in the way traffic is being routed across the network.

I see this now and again with my connection.

If you mean the spikes in maximum latency then yes I'd agree that is just your line being used but doesn't look that bad to me.

If it was really being hammered you'd see much higher spiking in the average blue section.

Yes thanks i mean the green bit, just been home, late at night! lol
but i done a speedtest on speedtest.net and got a ping of 63ms! twice
no downloading,
what could have caused it then?
cos my line is high on ping response now,
should i phone bt up about this?

What time did you switch your computer off last night?

Looks like the line settled down at just after 1am. If that is when you switched off then it is likely your computer was using the connection for something which was causing the elevated ping response.

Re the minimum ping (Green line) I find this will sometimes change if I switch the modem off for a few minutes.

it is not the varied ping i am worrried about, it is the green bit at the bottom, why has this rised?
it went down a few weeks ago,
