1428 size ping to a ADSL user

--- mmpub.smartdns.co.za ping statistics ---
20 packets transmitted, 19 packets received, 5% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 547.6/759.2/1335.4 ms

ill give em benifit of the doubt and call it 100%

techies are out at a tower but they did call back and will email me a status report ASAP [excusesa/lies last time i reported a tower out at 10pm i was told the law says they cant work on towers in dark i of course sugested a flash light]

this tells me they dont have BW and are shaping ICMP ... any other theories ...

pleasure what is so funny ... do it for a laugh ... call the lowly orcs on front line and ask if things are fixed they sound so confident poor louis was asked to quantify some results and his best defence was ill confirm with second level ...

got call back there is a tower down and not 2 level available ...

me is a thinking this a jar-jar is a waisting his a time

 

[gripen]

this could be the "infinite" satellite bandwidth being used as a backup or something. Thus the high latencies. However, the high PL does suggest shaping

but wether you send a 1k or 64b packet the latancy is about the same ... this is a sign of some shaping surely a smaller packet should be much quicker ?? the difference there does sugest this and the fact the loss is less is due more to less usage than improved BW IMHO ...

still capped at a lovely 20kb/s

Hell, my gran on a scooter with a memory stick is faster than Sentech's MyWireless!
