Slow ping times, high latency, overall mbps seems normal.

Hey all, I seem to be experiencing high ping times, but my download speeds seem pretty normal. As requested on the first sticky and some extras, they are on this imgur album:-

Any ideas?

I am on FTTC, I was also on ag03 with bad latency and speeds.

But not as high as 300ms.
I hopped to ag01 and seems good again.

Hopped on? Are you implying I can change my gateway?

Re: Slow ping times, high latency, overall mbps seems normal.

yes, on my asus since I have to do this so much on plusnet I actually made a shell script to do it Smiley
basically you disconnect the ppp session, wait 10 seconds or so then recconnect,  After recconecting I would wait at least another 30 seconds to give it time to connect.
admin@RT-AC66U:/tmp/mnt/OPTWARE# ./ppp.sh
old ppp pid is 20693
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.11 compiled against pppd 2.4.5
new ppp pid is 20819

Can confirm, just switched to ag05 and my issues are gone.
Thanks for the tip
EDIT: nevermind they are back. It was fine for a short period

Something that I have only just realized, it is really windy here atm, it might not be helping me much. I'll report back when its over.

Hi there.
Testing is showing no physical issues with your line and there's no capacity issues in your area.
There was a issue with the gateway you were on but that's been resolved.
Can you monitor it tonight and if your still having issues let us know?
