I live in South Florida, and i have the 3.0/384 service from bellsouth. Just recently my latency has gone up around 30ping higher then usual and my download speeds are not consistant. My friend who lives just down the road has the same service but everything is ok. Its definitely not the computer because it happens on all the computers in the house. example, when i ping a server in georgia i normaly get 30ping, recently im getin 50-60 constant. Same problem to other locations (but higher ping obviously). Download speeds vary from 100-300 depending on the day i guess... here are my speedtest.

the tests are fine but still im getin bad ping and i just downloaded something at 200kb/s. What is causing this to happen?

can you post a ping test to a few sites. i think i know what it is but i want to be sure. I think you may have gotten switched to interleaved.

I Have The Same Problem At Times
Not Sure Why It Happens
My line latency is high but still can get the speeds i keep wondering if i could drop that if i would get even better speeds

check in your modems control panel and see if your data path is interleaved or fast. if it is interleaved you will have high pings.

thanks for the reply and help dlewis23, were would u like me to conduct the ping test, what website is good for doing that so i can post results in here? And how do i access my modem options?

[patrick23]

Nevermind, i got into the modem control panel and it does say interleaved. Why would they do that? Can they switch it back to what it was?
