What Is Considered as "good" jitter?

I've heard that Virgin Media's network suffers most with Jitter and obviously the lower the jitter, the better.

But what would everyone say is an acceptable range of jitter?

Here is a Test I did, does it look ok ping/jitter wise?

Re: What Is Considered as "good" jitter?

"Good" can be quite subjective. There's a few objective measures that incorporate jitter, depending on what you're doing but no real definition of "good" jitter on its own. For VOIP calls for example jitter is factored into the overall MOS score, for gaming it depends on the game - in some games 10ms is noticeable in some 1000ms is perfectly fine.

Personally I find anything over 2ms is indicative of a questionable service but then on e.g. 3G MBB 10ms is perfectly normal.

I find on Sky that anything above zero jitter is out of the ordinary

Even 10 years ago Telewest was totally jitter free as well as giving a much lower ping to everywhere for me.

Personally I would like no more than 4ms jitter with 1ms obviously being ideal

At present VM gives me 300ms+ to ping servers with a jitter of around 80 to 100. No use for anything other than downloading

good jitter is no jitter.

0-1ms. for me was normal for years on ukonline.
adequate jitter maybe anything sub 5ms.
