Also throttled. Lowest latency to Google I've ever seen. I've add a tracert. Maybe some clever bod can see why its so fast.

Just a side note for those of you who don't know but CAPPING does NOT affect your ping WHATSOEVER.

Merely throttles your maximum speed.
 
I used to have that luck 'till round about the 27th, was flippen great stuff! The thoughts of iburst getting ready to give an uncapped service was going through my mind! Then they obviously tapped into my brain, discovered that I was having those obscure thoughts and...well now I'm throttled again!
 
Iburst seems to love throttling me. One moment i'm happily watching videos on YouTube, and the next thing, everything just dies. Pages just don't even bother to load. I generally have to refresh a page about 6 or 7 times before it loads. Oh, and dont get me started on the Iburst website. I can't even load the page once I'm throttled. It's actually quite funny, I can access their competitors websites easier than theirs.
