If you do ping -t www.thinkbroadband.com it will ping forever until you press
CTRL C
at which point a summary is displayed.
Packet loss should be under 1%

Click Windows Start Button
type CMD <return>
type ping www.thinkbroadband.com

tracert is another command you can use to do a trace to the site you specify

Thats because ebay does not respond to pings
i.e. not a fault with your service

ah that explains that. I just done a couple of other checks and all were 0% packet loss.
Any other ideas appreciated

Try using a different DNS server, OpenDNS was suggested earlier.
Particularly if file downloads once started are nice and quick

It's just an available place to ping that was provided in this post for the purposes of the OP of that thread assessing Infinity latency. I'm suggesting it to you simply because we know it responds and is not a mainstream one, with several examples using it.
Note we all did a 50 ping test, parameter at the command prompt is ping -n 50 81.19.219.81

Some sites. like ebay, don't respond to pings intentionally.
Always best to ping bbc.co.uk.or here which are always open.
