No wonder they doubled my ping without warning. Now they'll have a tier so i can get my original ping back, but it'll cost me $$$
Bellsouth's dirty secret they don't want the average person to know what they are doing right now behind the users' backs. Everyone was set to Fast Path (it's the default setting in the DSLAM) in Bellsouth land for the last 5 -6 Years since Bellsouth started offering ADSL for the public to consume. Fast Path is the standard on a line with no other issues and gives very good latency on the first hop. Interleaved is now being placed on people's lines without any valid technical reason as a way to reduce load on their network by slowing everyone down.
Here is a perfect example of Fast Path taken away from a Bellsouth customer for no reason.
»Why has my ping doubled?
No reason other than to degrade the line performance as the doubled ping from Interleaving starts on the first hop and stays with you the entire route. Then you are a less of a load on the line than you were getting before, but the price load on your wallet didn't drop.  Hidden profits, Best Effort or Half an Effort?? If you game, doubled latency can ruin a once good DSL line. If you use Video chat or VOIP, the doubled latency can kill those applications until they are choppy or unusable.
We all know it's about Latency.
