FTTC (Scotland
)Ping 15ms DL 78Mbps UL 19 Mbps Is there a real-world advantage in having a ping time of, say, 5ms over 15ms? |

The lowest ping I can get on speedtest is 16ms. This goes to 19ms if I let the site choose the server for me. I'm hoping theses ping times are because I'm using a HDD and that when I'm using an SSD, my ping times will be lowered. Maybe, maybe not.

Your "ping time" is the physical time it takes for a packet to be sent from your machine to the server via all the cables/exchanges and routers and to receive the reply You can easily test this by speed testing to a server in Australia, you will see your ping times soar to over 200ms+ http://www.speedtest.net/ |

This post was brought to you by digitalspy communications ![]() ADSL2+ and VDSL (which you are on) should be quite the same i've seen below 10ms on ADSL2+ before today. it's all about fastpath and interleaving. |

You physical location in the country, what you are pinging and what type of internet and how your ISP prioritises IMCP traffic will all have a substantial effect. Both Cable and FTTC have cooper elements from the last cabinet to your house. Only FTTP (which there is very little of nationally) is fibre to the house. |

Please go to www.speedtest.net - run the test and report your ping, together with ISP (for the novices, lower number is better).
Mine is 7ms - Virgin Media cable rocks ![]() download: 19.66 Mb/s; upload: 0.6Mb/s Upstream rate IP profile is 0.83Mb/s No ping result shown on BT result page When I was on ADSL my download speed was around 7Mb/s and my upload speed was approx 4Mb/s and everything sailed along fine. Now with this "super" ADSL2 I should be whistling, but I am not. I write comments on forums and on three of the sites I visit it takes forever to load and forever to go from one screen to another. Please can someone explain in plain English what my problem is? A big thank you in advance. |

SSD wont help, the ping times are not determined by your computer.

Not sure of the ping (think it's around 50ms) but the d/l speed is about 15mb and the u/l is about 1mb
Low to some, but it's better than what I thought I was going to get - the average speeds in the area are about 1/3 of what I get. |

Just doing a ping using Speedtest.net test doesn't really show anything since they have multiple servers and you may connect to a server half-way across the country, while someone else may be connecting to a server hosted by their own ISP.
Speedtest.net also do their ping test before doing the actual speed test, so the ping is done while the connection isn't under load and doesn't reflect real usage of a connection. Use the DSLreports speed test to test the responsiveness on your connection. It runs a continuous ping both before and during the speed test so you can see what effect you downloading and uploading will have on your connection's latency. On the DSLreports speedtest results page ignore the raw ping values since it typically connects to a foreign server. Instead look at the differences between the idle, downloading, and uploading ping values. The differences between my idle and downloading pings is only an additional 7ms, and between my idle and uploading 3ms. This nets me an "A+" grade for bufferbloat. |
