9ms ping time over internet! (er.. wow!)

I've just done a speed test with Xfinity and received a ping time of 9ms. I have never seen a ping so low across the internet.

Bear in mind I am running over 2.4Ghz wifi connection to the router in the next room. I just changed my usb adapter to an Asus EA-N66 (450+450) and put it in bridge mode.

Rather stunned.

Anyone got lower ping to the server a speed test server? (For reference I did also try the ookla speedtest.net and got 16ms).

It's an insult to be using wifi on such a connection.

Get the drill out and cable it up!

lol.

It's not my house, we are staying with our in-laws till we get our own place. Believe me, if it was my place, it would have been fully wired by now!

How was your experience with Comcast to get it installed? Is it as bad as the Internet would lead us to believe?

I wasn't there when it was installed. It was over two years ago. Sorry. The service itself has been relatively good. I have never had to use the customer service as it's not my house (as above). I know people at work have issues with comcast though, and they always say Verizon is better.

I'll run a cable temporarily and retest just to see what I get

They use Akamai (distribution network) so would route you into the UK.
