I get quite noticeably different ping performance depending on which gateway I happen to connect in to.
The below route averages around 14ms for incoming ping to me from thinkbroadband or f8lure:
1 openwrt (192.168.10.1) 3.394 ms 1.040 ms 0.805 ms
2 lo0-central10.pcl-ag06.plus.net (195.166.128.187) 40.348 ms 15.691 ms 17.987 ms
3 link9-central10.pcl-gw01.plus.net (84.93.249.176) 13.915 ms 17.240 ms 14.016 ms
4 176.core.access.plus.net (212.159.0.176) 68.150 ms 14.389 ms 13.971 ms
5 ae1.ptw-cr01.plus.net (195.166.129.0) 16.978 ms 14.651 ms 14.777 ms
6 ae2.ptw-cr02.plus.net (195.166.129.5) 17.051 ms 14.469 ms 15.968 ms
Whereas this one is less than 10ms:
1 openwrt (192.168.10.1) 1.148 ms 0.897 ms 0.826 ms
2 lo0-central10.ptn-ag01.plus.net (195.166.128.190) 14.938 ms 19.245 ms 11.083 ms
3 link3-central10.ptn-gw01.plus.net (84.93.248.132) 11.077 ms 11.968 ms 12.537 ms
4 xe-1-2-0.ptw-cr01.plus.net (212.159.1.28) 11.094 ms 9.961 ms 10.123 ms
Is this expected? Shame I can't control which gateway I end up on, seems pot luck so after a disconnection I need to check it and reconnect if I want the very fastest connection possible?
