Hi all,

Got VM 20meg piped in on Wednesday and having shocking pings/latency with it.

It isn't happening at a specific time of day etc.

I am using the Netgear N router - wired directly to my system. Here's a trace route to bbc.co.uk:

Tracing route to www.bbc.net.uk [212.58.253.67]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

11 46 ms 59 ms 42 ms www-vip.cwwtf.bbc.co.uk [212.58.253.67]

Trace complete.

Heres the modem info:

Downstream Receive Power Level : 2.1 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 39.1 dB
Upstream transmit Power Level : 37.0 dBmV


As you can see, hardly impressive!

Any help as to what I could do/what to ask customer services would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Jon
