Perhaps. The question then is, how do I know for sure if the latency is in the DSLAM, the ATM, or the first leg of the ISP network. After my modem, the next IP address I can ping is the ISP router, but the packets have to traverse the entire ATM and some of the ISP network first.
If the latency is in the DSLAM, or the ATM then switching ISPs wont make any difference. Since ISPs never make any promises about quality (Unless you pay a lot of money for a SLA) then should I be able to ask them to investigate this? Will Bell even touch it? Somehow I see a switch to cable (at significantly higher cost) in my future. On Sun, 2010-04-04 at 12:09 -0400, David Cook wrote: > Ouch.
