Re: Ping increase


[re: RobertoS] [link to this post] 		 
In reply to a post by RobertoS:
My top three for fibre - BT, Plusnet and Sky. Though I'm beginning to downgrade BT in my estimation.

I expect Zen are OK. I did my first year with IDNet and had no complaints, but from keeping my eyes open here decided I would risk Plusnet for far less money. Ten months into Plusnet I feel I did the right thing, to the point where I'm about to commit to another 18 months from January 13.
I suspect I'll do the same thing. It's been a good service from IDNet but there have been four 'incidents' and getting their support to do anything can be a bit of a trial. I was told for instance that my upstream dropping from 14Mb/s to 11Mb/s was a 'slight' change and hardly worth complaining about. The BT speedtester reported 16Mb/s.

When my line went wobbly (always on the 19th although interestingly this month it seems not to have done) I was mildly chastised for referring to 30Mb/s throughput off a 79Mb/s sync as 'poor'.

If I was with an ISP that doesn't claim to care much it wouldn't be so bad. But IDNet likes to talk a good game and they do employ people who know what they are doing. It's just such hard work getting past the front line 'defenders'.

I know its during peak time but are these speeds still not a bit low.
19/12/12 20:26 13425 Kbps 3532 Kbps 94.12.61.254
19/12/12 20:21 12003 Kbps 3545 Kbps 94.12.61.254
19/12/12 20:19 12789 Kbps 3362 Kbps 94.12.61.254

And now my ping seem to be getting worse (nothing running background):
