I play games so I need a stable connection or there is no hit reg.
I play on ICONZ servers and I am getting routed through a doddgy hub but the guys at telstra dont seem to think there is a problem.

johnr: If its working whats the issue!
manhinli: But in the end, your ping time is still pretty good (36ms, compared to my 45ms to the same server).

manhinli: I'm in Auckland using a FS/128k broadband connection, on ADSL(1). What more could you expect?

The reason TCL can't help you is because it's very likely that there is no problem here at all to fix.
I think you'll find that "slow" host is actually just set to give a lower priority to ICMP packets (such as a ping or tracert) which will give you skewed results running a program such as PingPlotter. I get a ping time of ~30ms to the same server on TCL cable but both g1*.telstraclear.net routers do give some very high response times to ICMP requests when pingplotter (or any other program generating ICMP traffic) is run over an extended period of time. This is quite normal configuration for many key routers on the internet.
I would suggest if you want faster ping times that the only real solution would be to move to Auckland where you will probably be 5ms - 10ms closer to the server depending on your ISP.
