Re: AOL PLUS PING

OK, not their software but do a traceroute from an AOL DSL machine and compare it to any other provider, the hop times are ridiculous, so its their routers sorry |

Pings are not affected by anything on your computer - it's a routing/loading issue pure and simple. Now, back to the topic at hand...

It's their crappy bloated software, always get dsl from the provider, ie earthlinks provider is covad so they charge more than covad and give you bloated software that makes your machine run slower and get worse pings, but to make up for it they charge $10 more for the same service |

My pings are also about 100-120ms, AOL Plus DSL via SBC PacBell.
As Aggie Dan stated, to lower your pings, you'll probably need to go with another DSL provider.
