Ping Test
Having read through some of the Posts/threads I have started to use Speedtest.net to keep an eye on the speeds attained from my 20MB Virgin Media link that we use to watch Simply TVs Russian TV channels. At the best time of the day when I am getting full speed the Ping Test shows a delay of 68 ms and this gives rise to some freezing of my received picture. This rises to 103ms at the worst times (9pm to 11pm) when download speed drops to 9MB.
Looking at other peoples results I see that my Ping delay is much more than the average 20-40ms that they are experiencing. Virgin broadband support tell me that when they run the modem diagnostic the Ping shows up as 13 to 45ms but I have never seen such a short delay on all the tests I have carried out.
I have a NTL250 modem and a D Link Wi Fi Router which are co-located. Is there anything I can do to improve things?
