Oops, sorry I rattled your cage
I didn't say your line was faulty but your posts as you have mentioned seem to point out that lines locally aren't great, I can't remember ever seeing BTOR dragging the content of the network out of anything locally to me or anywhere else in fact.
I'm merely pointing out that many folks with better lines than you or myself are not getting much better pings than you and I... the lowest ping from any Broadband connection I have seen "ever" has been an FTTC one of 5ms to the BBC, and that connection was located very very close to the BBC and also to the ISP's network, so the possibility of you getting 1-4ms to Maidenhead or London is impossible.
I'm sorry you seem to think I'm having a pop at Pulse8, but forgive me for questioning a provider that seems to have weird advertising of its products on its website, sending emails requesting payment information (When no order has been placed), claiming to use another supplier and then regarding an issue with a different provider as a "potential" reason for an outage and if I though a bit harder I could probably list a few more things too...
So all I have to say now really is enjoy your inflated cost Talk Talk Business Fibre,
