  1. I've also run  this tool;

     

     

    ICSI Netalyzer       http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/ and I get this disappointing result;

     

    Network Access Link Properties+ yelred.gif 

     

     
    Network performance (?): Latency: 150 ms, Loss: 0.0%
    The round-trip time (RTT) between your computer and our server is 150 ms, which is good.
    We recorded no packet loss between your system and our server.

     

     
    TCP connection setup latency (?): 130ms
    The time it takes your computer to set up a TCP connection with our server is 130 ms, which is good.

     

     
    Background measurement of network health (?): no transient outages
    During most of Netalyzr's execution, the client continuously measures the state of the network in the background, looking for short outages. During testing, the client observed no such outages.

     

     
    Network bandwidth (?): Upload 1.1 Mbit/s, Download 15 Mbit/s
    Your Uplink: We measured your uplink's sending bandwidth at 1.1 Mbit/s. This level of bandwidth works well for many users. 
    During this test, the client observed one reordered packet.
    Your Downlink: We measured your downlink's receiving bandwidth at 15 Mbit/s. This level of bandwidth works well for many users. 
    During this test, the client observed 533 reordered packets.

     

     
    Network buffer measurements (?): Uplink 1700 ms, Downlink 1800 ms
    We estimate your uplink as having 1700 ms of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large uploads. With such a buffer, real-time applications such as games or audio chat can work quite poorly when conducting large uploads at the same time.
    We estimate your downlink as having 1800 ms of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large downloads.

  2. Hey CA3LE,
     
     
    Thanks for helping.
     
     
     
    I'm playing UT2004 from my PC wired to my router.

    My favorite server is LGD Ballistic      178.33.238.8040

  3. I have  the basic 15/1 plan.

     

    I'm using Chrome without any other software, as far as I know. When I click on the test button, it appears to freeze, then the results page appears after awhile.

     

    About the only thing I can think of that might have done this is me changing my DNS nameservers. I went to Gibson Research GRC, and ran his DNS Benchmark utility     https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

     

    According to this, my assigned nameservers were pretty slow (imagine that!), so I switched to OpenDNS     http://www.opendns.com/

    I switched both my router, and computer, although it doesn't really seem to have done anything, except maybe inflate my test scores.

     

     

    I would really like to decrease my ping in games. Do I need a faster upload?
