Mines not bad. Would prefer a lower ping though. Thus moving to fibre when it's ready here.

1354976 2013-10-18 03:13:00 I think the only reason your latency is that, is coz of the VDSL profile you're on. It's that, or you take a slower speed.

Given there's almost nothing in the world (VoIP included) that will care about the difference between 15ms vs 30ms, they rightfully prioritize reliability first, then speed second, over lower latency.

Oh, I know. But 1ms to 30ms *is* noticeable in handful of particularly latency-sensitive applications, some of which I occasionally need to use ;) But the bandwidth is more important atm.
