![]() ![]() That was also with a pretty zigzaggy ping route. I just ran in Ping Plotter, which is definitely not usually the best case scenario URL, and I averaged mostly under 10ms. ![]() They still have a free version that's included in the download bundle!Ĭlick to expand.Still doesn't look very good, especially the average. It seems the try it for 14 days free is only the full version. There's not much you can do about a bad ISP ping route though, other than change ISPs and hope it improves. Now you can only use it 2 weeks for free, but that should be enough time to determine if you have a bad ISP route. Ping Plotter used to have a version that could be used free indefinitely. It IS possible however that the test you're using uses a server that skews the results, so test with Ping Plotter and use the method I suggested. In all likelihood though, if you are averaging an 8ms ping with your tests, the ping route is not likely the problem. If the shape of the route zigzags a lot, it's not a good sign, you want it to be as straight as possible, but best case scenario is typically a single dogleg bend. For that it is best to use a URL that is close to you and commonly known, until you find best case scenario (local news stations, local libraries, etc). You can also use a tool called Ping Plotter to see the actual route between your PC and the closest terminal. The ping monitoring game browsers and 3rd party tools do is done between you and the server you're actually gaming on.
