Re: [IL] Latency issues.

Your latency is not bad but your speed is too low if you have 50/5 service.

Latency is not bad? lol, ok. Sure acts bad considering the norm is 25ms. Yes, I have 50/5 service.




I'd say the weather isn't helping, we've had ice precipitation in Illinois and Indiana all day.

you may want to PM mediacom chad or tweet mediacom support, I went to them to see if anyone else had complained of slow sppeds and latency, they sent a reset to the modem and now I'm getting speeds back to normal now

64ms to Mediacoms hop #3 (172.30.9.189) is way to high. Should be under 30/35ms.

I still stand by my opinion. You obviously can disagree. Below 100ms to Google is OK in my book.

I guess it all depends on what you are accustomed to seeing.
If my ping to google (8.8.8.8) suddenly jumped to being over 50ms consistently, I would raise an eyebrow at least.

Interesting that my ping to a sever in Des Moines is nearly double that to Google...

For HSI connections (DOCSIS or DSL), Google should never be more than 35 ms away in most cases:
