| Interleaved mode causing high pings?
I'm at a family member's home who has the 1536/384 AT&T DSL package and noticed that their pings were rather high as compared to my cable internet service.
Upon looking through the web interface of their Motorola 2210 modem I saw a blurb about the line type being interleaved:
100 DSL Line Type interleaved 101 DSL Line Interleaved Depth 16
I remember back to my DSL days and having my provider (then Ameritech) switch my line to fast path in order to improve latency.
Is this something I can request of AT&T for this line?
Should I post in the AT&T direct forum on their behalf? If so, what information would I need regarding their account?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Here's an example of a traceroute to 4.2.2.2 with no other internet traffic being generated:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>tracert -d 4.2.2.2
Tracing route to 4.2.2.2 over a maximum of 30 hops
1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.254 2 47 ms 49 ms 50 ms 99.36.231.254 3 47 ms 48 ms 48 ms 76.205.15.1 4 49 ms 49 ms 48 ms 151.164.43.59 5 57 ms 56 ms 57 ms 151.164.39.96 6 57 ms 56 ms 57 ms 4.68.110.197 7 72 ms 72 ms 71 ms 4.68.101.98 8 57 ms 57 ms 56 ms 4.2.2.2
Trace complete.
Here are some more line stats from the web interface:
