During peak times I have ping issues on my ADSL (Virgin Media 8Mb). They seem to abruptly reach leap from 15-25ms to 200ms (to UK websites) or so at random times which seems to correlate with "busier" internet usage periods. However, for example, on Friday night they remained sub 20ms even during the evening. I presume such ping instability is down to lots of people connecting to the exchange?
Another thing I don't understand is that if I take out the ADSL cable and put it back in again, resetting my connection, I can sometimes reconnect and the pings will be much better. Why is this?
Any information would be appreciated.
