Re: very erratic ping / speed

Hi,
Any particular times of day?  Or just all the time?  Have you done any speed tests recently?
Your line looks reasonably stable:

Re: very erratic ping / speed

We did some quick checks and your line looked fine.  I suspect we need to look a bit deeper!

Re: very erratic ping / speed

Have done that but will they look into ping issues as no mention of it when going through the questions , this needs to be sorted soon as it's been a problem for far too long now .
