My ISP sucks (which isn't news) with a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5. Even so, it manages a halfway-respectable 26 ms ping, which I suppose is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.   ::)

Who are you with?

BigPond. Although one of my sons has one of those Blink modems where Optus is the provider.

I think I'd rather the poke in the eye with the sharp stick thanks.

My download speed was 21.75 Mb/s and my upload speed was 1.92 Mb/s.

The Ping test results were Ping 16 ms and Jitter 5 ms and the line quality was B*.

I have cable internet too.

Just for the internet, it is between $40 and $50 a month, but we get cable TV as well.



With  download speed so high, how come the youtube spam caused you so much grief? For some reason I thought you must have had internet probs if the youtube spam was causing issues.

I think in my case it was because of Flash-related issues, but someone with slow internet would have a lot of problems with it too.

I use the flashblock add-on for Firefox; my old machine used to become unusable without it if I had a lot of tabs open at pages with flash objects in them.

I always use that add-on. Bloody Flash sites are way too common.

Well, the tech who came over this morning didn't really solve the problem. He replaced the phone jack in my apartment with a different one, like that would do anything.  ::)

Every time I reset the modem, I get 3 megs and low ping, but over time, that would decrease to about 1.5 megs and my ping would be high (almost 200ms!), I figured the lines were fine, my modem was the problem.

So I called tech support, kicked some ass and chewed some bubble gum, and they patched my modem, now it is working good again. That was several hours ago.

Now it's still working good according to my tests:




Good enough for me!

Damn that sucks.



The server in Miami provided better results.



Terrible.   I am using the laptop's wireless, but I doubt the wired would fare much better.
