Latency on BNGs vs older gateways

[#1]

@ purleigh - I see what you're saying
I find the BNGs give me slightly better throughput but the latency is higher.
I have only been trying low response sites like bbc.co.uk, so I will try some others to see if they are comparable with different gateways.
I am a little baffled about how George gets 4ms on a BNG. We're on the same product on the same exchange - so we should be able to get the same, I would have thought.

[#2]

George 4ms is very lucky indeed! Very mystery & odd!
Ask George to do another ping test here!
@ AndyH I don't understand why old gateway lower throughput than the new gateway?

I don't think I would notice a gateway throughput difference on my 6.7Mbps ADSL1 20CN line 
I'll stick with the lower latency PTN

Share your postcodes?  It could well be a difference in backhaul back to the datacentres.

Andy H , Yes latency is higher on the BNG gateways .
as i have said here before I regularly swap gateways to find one where i get a good game connection    which also seams to depend on time of day 
i sometimes find a gateway which for me plays well for several days  but then for some reason it deteriorates  so i just hop to the next  gateway

@ Kelly
I'm MK15 and George is MK5 something (I think). We only live a few miles apart.
As I said to Paul ages ago, this is not a problem for me but it's worth looking at in case it affects people. I assume it's the way the traffic comes through the BT Wholesale network.

You are currently connected to gateway ptw-bng01.
This is located in Telehouse West.

I was seeing higher latency on the BNGs and was actually gateway hopping to AG gateways. However, recently, I've been hopping to ptw-bng01 as it's giving the best pings (regularly by a couple of ms).
In general though, all the other BNG gateways are 1-2ms higher for me. As you say, not much, but higher.

From 11ms to 1ms ping now

current ping is
    Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 100, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 4ms, Maximum = 5ms, Average = 4ms

@AndyH
When I had my 4 month long speed issues, you were not affected in the slightest. During that time I had my line moved between VLANs and the line card in the exchange replaced. So yes same product (FTTP) but not necessarily the same configurations.

how to do 100 sent, 100 received cmd test?
Edited: I found it now... cmd /k ping bbc.co.uk /n 100

@ George did u test it via bbc.co.uk?

[#13]

But can you compare the ping times on a BNG vs a non-BNG?

[#14]

Who? Do u mean me or George?

[#15]

You - George we know has low pings on ptw-bng01
I'm on the same gateway as George now, but my ping times are high (4-5ms to bbc.co.uk). I'm assuming that this is all down to the BT routing.
