    Current (bad) internet connection

    I used to have a fast line and good ping in games, last two days extremely bad results when gaming.

    Checked with netspeed.net to Bangkok server now...



    Which shows how bad it is at the moment... It is only me or do others also have bad line at the moment? My router has also been somewhat instable lately, so it may be my router.

    I'm here in Patong, but I don't know what the usual is. Lately, it seems to work fine most of the time. Other times it's slow or doesn't work at all. Fortunately, I'm not doing anything important.

    I just checked the speedtest.

    All good here. But I have had to reset my modems more frequently.

    My Maxnet is working well though a few times over the last couple of days the DNS has been down for a hour or so.

    Life may not always be the party you thought it would be, but since we are here, we may as well dance.

    Is it better to have a lower or higher ping?

    Lower

    Ping is where you send a echo packet to a host operating system (internet provider). It measure the time to send the echo to the computer and then return to you.

    I bought a new modem today and that seemed to solve my problem!

    Now the speed is great again!

    I'm with Sky as well, and paying for a 20mb line is a waste of time if the BT line is not up to it. There is a website, probably BT, where you can check the line capability. I pay for an 8mb line and just doing the test now, I'm happy.
