That wasn't to a server registered on speedtest.net

 

[Ichinisan]

I believe I've seen something like 5ms before. My ISP registered a test server with Ookla, so most modems end up selecting that one. The traffic never leaves the ISP's network.

For some reason, it won't select that server right now. When I pick it manually, it keeps saying "latency test error."

Meh, that's actually not bad considering the server is in the states. It says Toronto but pretty sure it's actually in the states. 206.126.236.112 -> Chicago, 72.21.81.13 -> Santa Monica. Though I'm just going by the Arin info, so not sure how accurate that is. Could be the company that owns it is based but the physical location is still Toronto. Actually just googled those two places and it does not make geographic sense, so it must just be that the block is owned by a company in the states.

Nice short traceroute though:

I have 11ms on a wifi in an old double brick home 1 story between me and my router and walls and ceiling is still plaster believe when I had it wired when setting it up I preformed a speed test but don't have the results just wanted to make sure time warner had it right. Paying extra 10 a month for 25 mb/s down and 5 mb/s up only getting 19.21 and 2.37 which with wifi and old house isn't too bad.

just reperformed my test and got 0ms ping???? is that possible??? decided to try it with a wired connection but 0ms WTF??? anyone?

Would be cool if speedtest.net would make a command line version. I'm doing it from work while VPNed into my house. This is what I get:



DSL at work, fibre at home.

Tried to use an X session of firefox to do it from home, but X or any other form of remote desktop is pretty much unusable over DSL.

Interesting thing with my fibre connection is that the origin seems to change from time to time. ex: where the server thinks I am is actually not where I am, but where the connection is routed to. Basically the fibre service is muxed all the way here but from a layer 3 perspective I'm actually in another town. At least that's my guess. I'm WAY more than 130miles from Barrie.

I'll have to do another speedtest when I'm home. Can probably beat that ping.

9ms right now...of course it's 317am. most ppl asleep.

ms is so 1999...

Fast connections are measured in us.
And if you're really close, ps.
Latency measurements are of little use. Jitter is where it's at.
Have high jitter and you may have tons of bandwidth but VOIP and some games will still go bezerk with lots of jitter.

Ping an ip (if on 'doze) be sure to use -t so you get some real time to see replies. Note high and low values. Difference is jitter. Should be less than 10ms. 1ms is excellent. If your connection is overutilized you may see much higher values.

 

[DaTT]

10ms

 

[mnewsham]

This is while streaming 1080p off twitch.tv so not really the best example

i pay for 20/5

slower ping, faster download. Can't complain.

I read a Wikipedia article a long time ago that said "jitter" is a misnomer, so I've been calling it "packet delay variance" (PDV) ever since.

 

[waggy]

yeah..you suck.

BAM!

I don't like you anymore..


Mine is..

 

[HeXen]

This is me on WiFi at home.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Comcast has been testing the new speeds in my area. Sometimes I get these downloads speeds, sometimes I get the 50 that is being paid for.

 

[Red Squirrel]

At home now, here's mine.



I also have a double NAT setup, which I want to eventually eliminate. Basically I have to use their router for the TV to work, but I've been reading up on possible ways to change that.

I have to say I'm quite fortunate to have such a great connection where I live. Not only is Canada as a whole way behind when it comes to broadband, or tech in general, being in the north we tend to get left out when it comes to stuff like this. They did well picking our town as being part of the deployment list since it took off like wild fire. There's even rumors that they might do underground cable plant too. Lot of people who can't get it really want to.

Not terrible for DSL.

Although for testing quality, pingtest.net is more appropriate. This server is a little further away:

 

[MongGrel]

11 is mine more or less normally, even with a lot running.

 

[BUTCH1]

ping=18 DL=11.5, meh, OK for basic internet service, Bright house offers different speed packages but I don't need it nor do I wish to pay for it.

 

[zCypher]

Pretty irrelevant in any normal usage scenario. I have seen as low as 7ms on cable and dsl in Montreal. The only time it actually matters is if you're getting unstable pings (higher jitter) or very high ping times that will affect the service in a discernible way. Otherwise it doesn't matter whatsoever. I was just playing a game online earlier, the ping time was usually around 40ms. Seemed perfect to me, so I couldn't care less if it's 2ms or 40ms. As long as it's not a value that yields a perceivable lag, I'm good.

How about your pings and traceroutes to hosts that are farther away? If you consistently get a better route to certain places, maybe that is meaningful. It would be something you could actually tell the difference - a page loading right away instead of an annoying delay, or whatever.

 

[zanejohnson]

holy shit this is a zombie thread..


nowdays i'm pinging under 6ms and over 100mbps...

My normally shitty u-verse is actually not doing too badly today:
