Surprise Surprise, BT have done some more changes to my routing for the worse. My ping is now usually 28ms.
I'm currently on a 20CN exchange and it is scheduled to be upgraded to 21CN. When this happens, will the routing be better and quicker because it doesn't have to go from ATM - Ethernet.etc for the route out to the internet (Apart from the connection TO the MSAN)?
Doesn't matter, nothing wrong with ATM at all (indeed it has some advantages), most of the internet backbone is ATM rather than ethernet worldwide, transatlantic links are usually STM64s on wavelengths for example. So no, moving to 21CN won't make a difference in that respect.
For the majority of users, low ping doesn't matter, low jitter matters more. That would be my priority as an ISP currently.
