upgrade problem with Bt hub 2...

[Darren Davies]

Hi everyone.
Had a 80mbps with 17mbps upload with around 28 ping
So just upgraded to a 300mbp 44 upload
But when I play MW3 my ping is 60...

All setup and hardware the same..

My ping is on average 14 Mbps when I do a speed test..

Config ping to Google is 11 Mbps

All good.. I guess....

But any know why so high in game...
And all servers I play 50 to 60 ping..

Thank you for your support.

More information is needed. What was this upgrade? Was it just a package change or did you switch ISP?

Ping isn't measured in Mbps, it's ms. What's a config ping? Pings measure the time it takes data to get between 2 points so if you change one or both of those endpoints then logically the ping times will change. If your upgraded was (for example) a switch from VDSL to Virgin Media then I'd expect your ping times to generally increase as VM isn't known for a low latency broadband connection.

Other than your ping reporting higher in your game are you having any problems? People seem to think a low ping time is the be all end all, but it isn't that simple.

Edit - I just noticed the thread title. So the upgrade was one BT (or other Openreach reseller) ISP to another? Did you go to a G.Fast package?
