What would cause this lag? Have had tech out 3 times. First time the new router helped a ton.. then started having issues. Now if I have problems they are very random, but if they happen they persist for awhile. Yeah probably due to use along the line, because I live down stream a while. I was wondering if since I live farther out from town.. about 5-10 minute car drive if that should affect my ping as much as it does, jitter wise.

On another note: If the service is good for me the lowest ping I get to the ISP backbone where my IP is handed out from is 26ms.

P.S.: Tested my dad's Frontier line (he is farther out from the town he is connected at.. say a 10-15 minute drive) but his setup constantly receives 1 ms to his ISP backbone. Could this be because of my grandma's possibly 1970's phone lines? or do they normally make sure the dsl lines are ALL new? I cannot game when my ping is sometimes jittering between 700-900 when the kids down the road get home from school. I deleted my screenie of the 800 pings but, I can prove it later if people need it. :P

No need for the 800ms screenshot. I believe you.

Looks like you're another one of those individuals seeing a slowdown in the old Epix network. Distance from town shouldn't make a difference as to how well or how poorly your service performs if you have it, or should the copper matter as long as it's in good shape and up to typical telco specs. What does make a difference is the kind of backhaul going from the DSLAM to the rest of the network. If what is in your area happens to be bonded T1s, maybe a T3/DS3 or an OC3 and it's being overloaded when everyone arrives home from school and work, it is a matter of the ISP bringing additional capacity to the equipment to ease up on the issue. Getting 1ms latency on DSL is pretty hard to achieve due to ATM and Error Checking, but I know with DSL you can certainly get down to 4-5ms to the first ISP hop!
