Funny network... I can ping the same address over my own DSL and get lower and more stable ping than you do: ping 87.186.242.38 PING 87.186.242.38 (87.186.242.38) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=34.7 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=2 ttl=245 time=36.3 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=3 ttl=245 time=35.3 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=4 ttl=245 time=33.6 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=5 ttl=245 time=34.8 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=6 ttl=245 time=35.8 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=7 ttl=245 time=34.2 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=8 ttl=245 time=35.3 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=9 ttl=245 time=33.0 ms 64 bytes from 87.186.242.38: icmp_seq=10 ttl=245 time=34.2 ms ^C --- 87.186.242.38 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9043ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 33.069/34.776/36.339/0.943 ms Pinging something local in my provider yields stable pingtimes within 13-14 ms... Maybe your provider still uses old ATM technology between the subscribers and the DSL router, and the network is heavily overbooked. This is, however, not a generic property of DSL. DSL can have stable roundtrip times. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
