Does a high speed improve pings by a lot? (eg 150 ping to US would be quite nice.)

700575 2008-08-27 12:02:00 Hi,

My friend got the broadband from slingshot with plan
256KBPS download and 128KBPS upload speed............


Please suggest, what can be done to improve the speed.

Thanks,

Obviously, all speed figures quoted are kbs NOT KBs

an average transfer speed of 206 kbs would be not unreasonable on a 256 plan with a long extension as stated.

After all, a 256 plan is barely 5 times dial up, not really a "broadband" connection by any stretch of the imagination.
I dont even know how they still get away with calling it as such.

Most ISP's dont even offer it as a "cheap" option these days

Ummm with pings, LOWER is better. I get around 261 ping to LA too. But some others are 350 :(
