HI guys,
I'm located at chennai.
I'm on the 1299 swift plan (which gives 512kbps 6am to 10pm and 1mbps 10pm to 6am).
Recently airtel screwed up my broadband connection :-[ while fixing my airtel landline.
then they fixed it up(sort of),replaced my old 220bx modem with a new 110TC1 modem.

the thing is the pings are too high,due to this my youtube viewing experience has taken a hit.
now the pings on average from speedtest.net are: :S

320ms
299ms
287ms
263ms

earlier they used to be around the 100 mark.

I have shifted to google dns(Nope,makes no differnece :()

then tried pingtest.net,am getting C's and D's more consistently now.

Used to get only A's and B's before.

I called up airtel,told them that pings were very high,and i don't even think they understood me properly :@
So any ideas on what to do to lower the ping. :huh:
