if you can post the results of the test, it would be easier to explain "Ping" and "Jitter".
Basically Ping is how long it takes a request from one computer to another, to respond. (now this is a very basic explanation, i am sure there are others in the list who can explaing it better.) "Jitter", on the other hand , has a different reference as to your 'bandwidth' usage, I use Jitter as part of the information i look at to see if my online connection will support voice. hope this didn't confuse the issue more.
