1. Depends on where you live in the UK
2. How busy the backhaul network is
3. How busy all the devices between your PC and the place you are pinging
4. What your computer is doing

I will repeat the level of variation you are seeing is no indication of a problem.

You're still not over 100ms and I'm getting over 200ms lol. Thanks for for trying to make me feel better though lol.

I'm in Cornwall. Would that make a difference?

I still think there's some link with the overall speed problem. Or has that been resolved?

Hi Roberto, no the speed hasn't been sorted. It's still 16-17mb when it should be well above 35mb.

I've been quiet on this front as bt have requested i don't do anything for 10 days. I'm being patient and doing as they asked and once the 10 days pass I'll remove the net5 and test from there etc and I'll be back on the case.

That is utter garbage from them. There is nothing on FTTC that has anything to do with 10 days.

Yeah I've been told that before and thought it was garbage myself. That's why I just said I'm being patient. I'm just waiting the 10 days to say I've waited it and will know I have haven't touched/altered anything during this time. I'm not expecting it to miraculously increase my speed. I wish it would though lol

Certainly a good point, though it's a pity there seems no way to get BT staff told from above that this is the case.

Is the IP Profile still OK, on its strange 42786? Have the disconnections gone away?

IP profile is still 42786. I had that one day of disconns and not had any since (fingers crossed)

Maybe it was the "10 day" settling in period lol.

There is a sort of 2-day one, which I expect restarts when you have had the the type of engineer intervention you had. But I've just had a thought about the speed. I need to contact someone to ask a question. Laters!
