Make sure your not downloading.

Well I was talking to Embarq again about my ping and I was doing tracert's and ping's and all the sudden I was getting 27 ping to Chicago and my upload was bumped up to 768 Kbps, so I asked if they changed the path and they said they didnt do anything, then I asked if it was going to cost me any money and they said no ... obviously they bumped up my upload and that helped so I am happy.

Well early on the 9th the speeds came back and now are steady, so I talked to Embarq and canceled the tech coming, who knows why the speeds were so crappy for those 2-3 days, first time its ever did that... Then I asked about Interleave/Fast Path again, this is what they said: Me: there is one other thing I would like the data path changed from interleave to fast path is that possible? Embarq: I apologize, we do not change interleave paths. The latency is set at interleaved for specific reasons. Me: then why did my ping go up when I switched from 1.5 to 3.0 Mbps? Embarq: It works much like a stereo, as you turn up the volume, any distortion is turned up as well. As the speed is turned up, any imperfections on the line are amplified as well. Me: what are the reasons the path can't be changed? Embarq: Primarily if errors are building on the line, we need to know about it, not discard the errors.

Why whats like that? the interleave/fast path? or the speeds? because I have had great speeds until early today...I am about 600 yards from the CO.

No, because that's actually why I called them this morning because the speeds dropped... There having a technician come out on the 9th maybe they will do it.

Talked to Embarq They said it's always been on Interleaved even when I had 1.5... Now even worse my connection speed has dropped from 3.0 to under 1.5 mbps, I don't know what's going on but it has been fine until now.

After reading some of this: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14674058 I don't know if it's going to be worth the time and is there side effects? Is Fast Path or Interleaved better? Pros and Cons?

I recently switched from 1.5 to 3.0 mbps and my ping times have went up by 10-15 ms on all servers I play games on, is there anything I can do to fix my ping?
