More sky issues! - Im stumped!

Some here may have read my thread a few weeks ago about problems I was having with my internet connection.

I have found an issue I seem to have, my connection keeps going from amazing, to awful, for example my pingtest changes within a matter of minutes, see below.

Is these any reason why it would be doing this after so long?

Do some tracerts;

Goto Start > Run > CMD

tracert bbc.co.uk

tracert multiplay.co.uk

Post the results here.

Most the time this is due to load on the kit ... blame all the illigal downloaders

Just spoken to sky...twice....

First guy told my that ping does not make a diff to games, and the problem lies with me trying to play MW2/BC2 on max and my rig not been up to the job........

Second guy, knew what the problem was right away. Put me onto "gamer" profile which should sort the issue, if not, I have to give him a call back.

So, lets wait 24 hours and see!

LLU or IPStream?

Wired or wireless?

I checked and im on Max, so im assumin thats LLU.

Wireless, but the problem comes and goes in spikes. I tried connecting via wired, but I am having to email the vendor I got the PC from as it does not seem to be working!

I blame the wireless. The Sky LLU network is rather decent. Get the wired connection working and run WinMTR for a good couple of hours against multiplay.co.uk - make sure nobody else is using the connection.

I'd also suggest changing the wireless channel. I think inSSIDer shows what channels are being used in your area so you can choose a different, unused one?
