On Unlimited - Terrible Pings
Hi,
Been happy with Sky Broadband so far but, lately, speeds are getting worse and more variable.
Most worrying is my ping readings - between 300ms and 600ms. What should I do? Is there a 'gaming profile' I'm best switching to?
Thanks

Re: On Unlimited - Terrible Pings
Stats needed, and also more info on your setup - physical setup, WiFi/Ethernet?

Re: On Unlimited - Terrible Pings
Are you pinging UK servers of US? Try pinging BBC

Re: On Unlimited - Terrible Pings
Results for bbc.co.uk look okay. Unfortunately the gaming server I'm getting terrible pings from isn't in the UK.

Re: On Unlimited - Terrible Pings
Not a lot can be done if it's an overseas server, it looks OK on UK-based ones

Re: On Unlimited - Terrible Pings
Have you asked Sky to put you on a Gaming Profile? This is often done when DLM is run, but there is a chance you have been missed for some reason.
