Default High Pings
I've run tests and download/upload speeds are perfectly fine, but I get very erratic ping from 30-150 and when I ping yahoo.com I get 100+ ms.

your ping is actually good because 100ms is like 0.1 second (is my conversion correct?)

Exclamation How long?
I have been suffering the same. Extremely high ping on yahoo/att DSL
since the 1st of the month. Im in Kalamazoo Michigan.

Pings to my own city are high. And if I try to ping Kansas City, MO
its worse than any dial up connections ive had 15+ years ago.

There is something cut somewhere and ATT or whoever Owns the lines needs to fix it. Something is wrong in Kansas City, Missouri, and SpringField, MO.
My ping over to Prince Rupert, CANADA!! is way better than pinging places in my own state. Now that is screwed up!

Here is a log. The times are off. Because of GMT.
but from 11:00am-Eastern to sometime after 1:00am-Eastern. my pings are so high, playing online games is impossible. I have noticed this same pattern to the T, since July 10, 2008. 2nd Tech comming out today. Oh I must mention the fact that getting AT&T to send a tech out for "HIGH PINGS" is nearly impossible. I basically have to tell the idiots on the other end that I dont have internet. Otherwise they say everything is fine just because they can see my modem is online. Mind you 5pm my downlaod speeds are 1.5mb most of the time. I'm paying for 5mb service.

______________________


As you can see, VERY unstable. I have tried 4 different PC's on this DSL line.
All had the same problem.

I used the neighbors Comcast open wireless to test some things.
pings are much better but there is still something wrong in Missouri.

Maybe the Floods messed something up?

I preyed the day wouldnt have to come up to me going back to comcrap cable. Overpriced piece of crap too. but better than what im getting now.

Since March of 08. This DSL line was FLAWLESS. I was so happy to have a descent ISP after dealing with Comcast for a year. They had a bad line out here and couldnt dig it up till april 14'th due to the Frost laws here.
With 30%+ packet loss with Comcast I had to do something about it.
Now im dealing with a whole new issue with yet another ISP.

I'm not sure about the conversion table. but on a 5mb line your ping should be less than 100ms anywhere in this country.

My DSL was flawlessly running 15ms to 40ms pings all over the world. Untill now.

In order to play First Person Shooters of any type. You need to have Sub 100mb ping times.

Anything over 100 you see noticeable lag.

Yes I know 15 years ago we had 300ms to 500ms on DIAL UP!.
I even remember getting 150ms when I had a really nice dial up isp.


So yea FYI anything over 100ms. = bad.
