Its an internet utility to send a packet of information from one computer to a specific target computer and ask it to reply sending the same information back

It is used to see how long it takes to get the information there and back , it can also be used to check and see if any information was lost enroute and needed to be resent. This may be indicated by a greater time.

In the case of that test it was initiated by the site you were testing your linespeed, however you can initiate it form within the Command Line prompt. (start > run )

Ping is very important in online gaming. Typically, if you have a ping above 100, nobody wants to play with you. :(

I've been having some connection problems recently, it seems there's been quite a drastic change in my upload speed, I must ring my ISP and ask them to boost my connection.

I meant that question for MTVN but forgot to quote him :hugesmile:

I've no idea actually, my parents take care of it, how would I find out?

Are you wireless? Could be someone leeching your broadband.

Yeah, it is wireless :/ Maybe that is the reason it's slow, I've never really thought about it tbh, just accepted it must be a sh*t connection or something.

Do you know if you have a password on your router?

That's pretty good Eoin. :)

Would it be quicker If I switched to wireless?

Yeah I do, is there a way to check if someone is leeching my broadband or something?

Mines only like 2mb now...

Switched to sky. I'm paying for 20 :bawling:
