Here is a sample of ping that's terrible -

Pinging 209.191.93.53 (timer gran. 10 ms)...
Ping size: 100 Ping Count: 5
ICMP echo reply from 209.191.93.53, 50 ms
ICMP echo reply from 209.191.93.53, 50 ms
ICMP echo reply from 209.191.93.53, 50 ms
ICMP echo reply from 209.191.93.53, 50 ms
ICMP echo reply from 209.191.93.53, 50 ms

Testing done on speedtest.net showed 2.55 down and .45 up on all locations but the interesting thing was the pings which were 50 to 75 or higher. Does this point to the DNS issues?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Netopia-334702-Problem-22808682 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:36:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Netopia-334702-Problem-22808435
Time to do a little troubleshooting.

1) Access the modem status page, are DSL link stats OK? Margin should be over then 6 dB. At 6 or below modem may not be able to hold sync. Between 6-10 vulnerable to noise. At 10 or over should be fine.

2) Run performance test. There is one on tools page or use speedtest.net
»/tools
»speedtest.net/

Visualware test is nice because it provides report on instantaneous transfer:
»myspeed.visualware.com/index.html

3) If modem stats and speed test check out your ISP may have slow DNS. In that case might want to try OpenDNS or run your own DNS resolver.
