You should also read what is right above the tracert... it was done while downloading the file, in order to see what the latency is under load. Normally, my latency is nowhere near that. Thanks

So what is the possible problem with my pathping?

Yes, that's right.

Well, yeah, my mom's computer. She's hardly ever on it. We haev it shared with a switch, not a router. The switch was used whenever I was back at college and my roommate and I shared the connection over 1 IP. could this be the problem?

The only thing I complain about is why I always get kicked from different game servers for having a high ping. I try to find servers that are remotely near me in order to lower the ping by shortening the distance. Some servers that are just in dallas (i'm near memphis tn) i get kicked from because of the high ping. I figured it would have something to do with my ISP or the service that I have. Any ideas? I've got a Pentium D 3.00ghz, 2.5gigs of ram, Radeon x1600 graphics card (came with the computer), and have the graphics set on medium. It runs fine during the game, but sometimes I get kicked from those servers. Any ideas?

Says 0.0% packet loss, but packet discard = 1.5%. Round trip latency is 190ms, loss periods min, avg, and max = 20ms. My score was a 4.0 out of 5.0. Said from me to Boston, my packet loss was 0.00% and the packet discards was 44.3% and the Codec was 55.7% This help?

Don't really need to. I've heard PLENTY of people on this board talking about how shiotty the service at suddenlink is. What i don't understand, though, is how they can come in, use the same stuff as COX had, and still have SHIOTTY service (packet loss). Let me run a trace real quick ont hat same file one sec.

Man I don't know. They only offer 2 services here...a 29/month and a 39/month. The 29/month is about the same as dialup, seriously. I got the 39/month because a friend of mine had it and his was going pretty good. I really don't have too much info about it. I do know I have a lot of packet loss, though. I know that much.

I download 70 and 80mb music albums all the time. I never really get below 150kb/sec. Sometimes it's lower, but I'm assuming, too, that a lot of people are downloading the same thing.

I have no idea what their advertised speed is. I have great downloading speeds from sites like MegaUpload (usually around 300kb/sec). Whenever I am playing battlefield 2, I sometimes get kicked from servers for having a "higher than average ping." I was just wondering what you guys thought the problem might be with that. I have a pretty decent computer... Pentium D 3.0ghz, 2.5gigs of ram (2x1gig and 2x512mb), the graphics card that came with it (radeon x1600), and the integrated ethernet card. I know people talk about how much they hate SuddenLink, but I haven't had TOO Much problem with them as far as the service. It used to be Cox, then they came in and took over. anyone have any recommendations to give me a little more umph?
