Re: Ping variability

So, for Google, the figures are good. What would be interesting to see is the results for a site where you are seeing problems.

I'm not sure they are - min of 6ms may be OK, but max 127ms, avg 22ms shows a lot of variability.
For my own FTTP (not Plusnet) the maximum is under 5ms.

Re: Ping variability

@corringham I agree with you actually.Now I've fully woken and had a load taken off my mind (personal stuff), I'm wondering if a tracert would give us more information.

One to affected  sites would be useful.
