Did you have to set up a new TBB or was the red bloxck an overnight outage?

I did not need to set up a new graph, it went down while I was at work?
Btw this is my ping test, I assume that is right on the money?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
It's twice as high as it should be, IMO. So not good.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
Risco - I take that back.
Pingtest said you were <50 miles from Maidenhead (my pingtest says the same and I am) . But I see that you're in Maidstone and that distance has to be at least 70 miles.
When I ping Maidstone on speedtest.net, I get 115 ms! So your 34 ms is actually good.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
Hmm it say distance at the bottom but let me check as it sounds a bit less than it should be, ok the distances at the bottom of the results aren't to far off MK is 342miles the shortest drivable route and Maidenhead 370.
So im a fair bit further away than you.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
Indeed, the highest ping you should ever get on VM's network to those sites is about 30ms, and that's on the furthest reaches of their network. The closer you are, the less you should get.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
Figure out if you care or not, then figure out what's causing it.

Well I care because I play games online. So instead of giving cryptic replies, point me in the right direction please!

He's not being cryptic, he's just not opening a can of worms unless it's necessary. Tracing the cause of high pings can be a bit of an effort and it's usually something you have little control over.
The best thing to do is pathping to something you know has a higher ping than it should, that'll tell you where the extra latency is coming from. If it's not the first hop, it's something beyond your control. If it's not on Virgin's network, it's beyond their control (to a degree).
