Do you use Wi-Fi to connect to your home network?
If it is a cable connection there could be a fault with your network cable or router.
Latency on your home network should be <1 ms.
Can you post your routers' SNR and Attenuation levels? It could reveal more information in finding the problem.

From the symptoms and information you posted it would appear as if your line is managed by Telkom's new ASSIA software. It stabilizes your up and download speeds but with a cost of increased latency.

There is but you'll have to ask Telkom that your connection is not set to interleaved.
And I'm guessing there's no way around it.
Weird thing though, my stats have been give or take the same since I moved in. So if it's the ASSIA, it didn't noticeably improve my SNR's.
You can ask Telkom to change you back to fast, BUT if Assia sees that you line is still unstable, it will just switch it back until such a time its stable.

It could just be that he has a faulty cable, but if not then its just ASSIA trying to keep his line stable. Sometimes to have that is not great, because the change in line stats you will really come to hate. In time things might certainly improve, unless you pack up and move. I know that is a little extreme, but you might just get fibre, and realise your dream. WordThere is but you'll have to ask Telkom that your connection is not set to interleaved.
I'm glad I don't have to troubleshoot internet problems. There are so many things that could influence your internet experience.It could just be that he has a faulty cable, but if not then its just ASSIA trying to keep his line stable.

Lara's line is stable, and there are no issues. Its a good thing though, or else there will be plenty of tissues. Lara has never complained before, how amazing you know, we wish we had a great line like that, but ours are very slow. WordI'm glad I don't have to troubleshoot internet problems.

It does make a difference but it should not be enough to radically change your experience. So if you are routing to UK, you should still get sub 200ms latency, which should be OK for gaming. You might see it more on US pings
Can you drop me a PM with some of your traceroutes? I'd like to compare with our results to get an idea of what the difference is
