Latency

What kind of ping times are you getting? What speed are you supposed to have? What are your actual speed results?

Thank you.

Well, there is a problem with one of the ISP's devices in Mountain Home which has been ongoing for about 1 month...

As I said the issue is intermittent but when doing streaming gameplay or remote working this is a problem with 300+ms pings.

A DSL line should generally have ping times of under 100ms to a MAX of 150ms.

That issue and their tech department where they don't even know what latency is, is irritating.

Ok, well according to your test results, there is obviously an issue going on in Mountain Home. What have they told you about this when a tech was sent out? Do you know if anyone has contacted our Network Support Center to see what they show on their end versus yours?

Ya I called support 3x tonite as I'm basically fed up waiting on them to notice the issue after there was a line cut causing an outage about 2-3wks ago, but this seems to be system problem with their equipment in Mt. Home. Waiting on a call back from Tech Support from Team Leader asked to have the call escalated for complex issue. The other 3 people didn't even know what latency is :/ Scripted Tech Support is sometimes a problem.

Also, a tech is supposed to be comming out to do a line check tomorrow, but I don't believe that is the problem as Mt. Home is a problem when comming from DSLReport to ME, and they get same type of high latency at the same location as I do.
