    Crap eh, contemplating the switch to BT Infinity, just don't like BT so it's a bit of a bugger.

    "Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar terminology which sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo."

    So I'm guessing the lower the Ping rate the better (quicker)?

    Download 3.55 at 01.40 am no wonder when I log into our German server during the day I can cut the field grass, cook a casserole and watch Countdown (twice) and still not get my emails, still this is the Fens and the fastest thing is incest during the mating season.
