Re: High Latency

You could call Sympatico and ask them if it is necessary to be on the interleave profile. They can check your error rate. The issue could be with poor internal wiring in your residence, if able you can check that. Some of the members here will have more suggestions. One thing to make sure you don't have is an extension cord going from the jack to the modem. If there is a distance issue you are better off using a long ethernet cable and putting the modem beside the jack with a 4 foot telephone cord. Just one of many suggestions.

thanks again, it's funny because I am using an extension cord right now to connect. However, today I tried connecting the modem to a jack with a 4 foot telephone cord and I connected the modem to another computer. I did a line test and I still get the same latency ~80 ms on the first hop

Just a follow up here, don't ever use a phone extension cord longer
then 6ft. As the phone cords use low grade wires and the longer
the cord the more likely hinder internet performance.

The short the cord the better. (Under 6ft)
