ping question

[Cyborg]

Depends on where your pinging from. If it's from Uzbakistan, then that's not bad, but if its anywhere in the US/Europe that is much to high.

On CS, I range from 37-100 ping on my 1500/256 DSL.

I love the sig too! And of course I fell for it..lol
250 pings are good or bad depending like was said before, on your location and also on what speed dsl you have.

The cap on the line doesn't have any relation to pings at all.

There are 3 main things;

1. Line Encoding
2. Proximity to the POP
3. Backbone traffic / route

For instance; Back in the glory days of Northpoint, their 144k IDSL at 27k feet out (Coppermountain DSLAM, 2B1Q line encoding) will have a lower ping than a 7.1mb/640k Verizon line at 250 feet (Alcatel DSLAM DMT ADSL Line Share) to the same machine.
