Re: Ping Test
I too get very low pings at speedtest.net. ie. between 110ms and 180ms and I am on a 50mb connection!
However if I ping a variety of servers from the command prompt results are much better eg. for bbc.co.uk I get 9ms latency.
If you are not sure how to ping from the command prompt follow this:-
Go to START then ACCESSORIES. There you will find COMMAND PROMPT. When it's open type - ping BBC.co.uk . After a few seconds activity you will be given an upper, lower and average result.
Try this with your Russian TV server and a variety of others. Sometimes you need to type the www. sometimes not. I got an average of 16ms with simplyglobal.tv . With Wolfenstien - Enemy Territory Euro and USA games servers I get pings under 20ms.
Incidentally I find speedtest.net test servers very inconsistent for measuring up and download speeds. Within a single 24 hours I got results ranging from 59mb to 15mb download speeds at the London server. At this time 50 mb connections are unaffected by peak traffic issues. The problem is speedtest.net .
