| 195360 | 2003-11-28 09:55:00 | Thanks for explaining pings, I always wondered how to test that, and as mine is 151 ms, is that good or bad? ?:| | supergran (108) | ||
| 195361 | 2003-11-28 10:32:00 | Thats fairly normal if its a dial-up connection. | bmason (508) | ||
| 195362 | 2003-11-28 19:07:00 | Well, if I ping Paradise DNS server I get around 43/45 ms on ADSL. I would have thought that was quite good. The other week things got slow for a little while, and on querying found out they were doing some upgrade work. |

| 195364 | 2003-11-29 04:20:00 | Found this post quite interesting because for a couple of months now I have noticed that my Jetstart connection (with Ihug) would crawl if I had one PC downloading and the other being used for general internet browsing. I only have the two PC's sharing the connection via a ADSL modem/router. When I initially got ADSL there didn't seem to be this slow down affect. Just ran a wee test. Pinged my ISP from one box and got a average time of 42 ms. Started a download on the second box and then re-pinged the ISP and this time got a average time 1505 ms, whilst the downloading box was enjoying a download speed of 17 KB/s. Whatever box is downloading, it seems to hog all the bandwidth leaving the other box with the scraps. |

The first one takes what it can get and anything left over is available for the other PC's. If you had a full speed connection you probably wouldn't notice this. What is needed is way to throttle back speed to PC's. I know that this feature has been requested for the ADSL router I use so that speed can be evenly split over all the PCs or allocated to specific PCs. |
