Your Internet connection

WTF! Your ping is insane though!

Can you do the following..

Hold Windows key and press R
Type cmd into the box and press Enter

This should bring up a Command Prompt window. Inside the window, type: tracert www.google.com
then press enter

Copy and paste (or screenshot) the results here. Then we can see where the massive latency starts

they have fixed a receiver in orkney that was misaligned now and it is much better still sh!t but better than it was

My work connection (where I do a lot of browsing)

Not too shabby and wish the ping would be like that when online gaming

TWO months I've had no broadband for now

Just for laughs, here's my internet speed when I tether from my mobile phone.



I'm actually quite impressed.  My PC is so far from the router that this is much faster than my ADSL connection!

I am yet to get broadband activated at my new flat but this is my speed over 3G on my mobile.

There's no way you get that speed over 3G!

HSPA+ gets up to 21Mb/s - real world usage you would hardly get that sort of speed because their networks are so clogged up.
Technically it's 3.5G, though in America some mobile networks started calling it 4G.

Oh but I do Nigel.  I couldn't believe it myself either. I went with 3 because I wanted an unlimited data plan so thought is try them out, I still run my Vodafone sim and results from Vodafone are around 2mb download and 0.2mb upload.

Oh and if you look at my read out, the network even says "cellular".
