Re: And so history repeats itself...

ouch, heres my connection as it stands now



Gaming on XBOX atm, FIFA, and its practically unplayable. Getting players delaying, sluggish due to all the jitter. Mine looks loads better than yours but believe me it aint.

Re: And so history repeats itself...

look at my signature, okay, they are both dedicated leased lines, but you get the idea, VM, in comparison to other providers are pretty crap for anything to do with ping/jitter, a good TBB ping monitor for a VM connection has a constant maximum latency of 60ms, whereas most (if not all) infinity connections have hardly any visible yellow/blue area on the graph

Not to mention that the downstream/upstream speed ratios on infinity are much better at 40/10, 80/20 is getting further away, but still far better than VMs 100/10

interesting the pic in your signature qas - shows as being from Great Britain - any further info?

He is hiding his ping meter from us and there is a reason, I now know 2 people with infinity and the after 7pm ping meters are pretty carp- I'm as gutted as anyone but it seems now people are starting to use infinity and push it with downloads its struggling.

I'm no fan of VM but they have experience of offering millions of users high broadband speeds so they understand how to load balance ect.

It seems for BT this is a learning curve, maybe ask Qas nicely he will leave his live ping meter running 7pm-midnight?

24-hour plot:

The only reason the live one's stopped working is because my IP changed. Clearly terribe 7pm-midnight.
