PING PROBLEMS...Please advise

bloodline76 · 17 Dec 2006 at 00:20

My ping ratings have just lept through the roof. I have always had a consistant 20 to 40 ping on my games but since last night my ping has lept up to 130 to 150.

Is there any tests or things i could try to resolve this?

The only thing that I have done recently is uninstall and reinstall Mcfee Anti Virus. Could that effect this is some way?

Thanks

Check your exchange, may have a lot of people connected, they may be doing maintenance, how far are you from the exchange?

I cant see how Mcafee could affect your ping... if your on a router your ports may affect the pings... it does with me.

Try http://dslzoneuk.net/distance.php or http://www.samknows.com/broadband/index.php - Availability checker.

They're not 100% accurate, but they give you a fairly good idea

I got the following result:

There appears to a compatibility issue with your phone line. This could be caused by an existing DSL connection, ISDN, a DACS unit, TPON, a pending ADSL order or many other common issues. This will need to be resolved before ADSL can be supplied to your line

Does that just mean that it is detecting my broadband already?
