Brets

In general there is a small little problem why we in SA experience larger latencies then the oukies in Europe and that is a simply because we are generally a small stone throw away from them.

For example the SAT 3 system is 14 350km km long, and since no one is capable of building single fibres that long or transmission systems that will propagate via a fibre that long there is quite a few repeaters in between us and Europe. Every piece of transmission equipment adds a small amount of latency to the link, so if you can convince everyone in the world to duplicate the internet backbone in the southern tip of Africa then your latency will be a thing of the past, else you must move there if you are not happy with the latency.

Riaan please dont you are only adding to the problem

Code: Select all

Start - run type CMD

in the dos box that open, type ping www.hilux4x4.co.za

ICMP iaw pings is small packets of date that can be detected by an ISP because of the port it uses. If you do not buy a Tier-1 type ISP connection but rather a Tier-2 like most shaped broadband connections your ISP will give priority to certain types of traffic like SMTP, HTTP, FTP and less priority to traffic like ICMP thus those packets will be dropped first if the buffer at the ISP gets full.
