Sub 60 ping,everywhere AT&T Xtreme DSL 6.0 ,47.99/per month. Not bad, but Uverse 10mbit down/1mbit up is cheaper than the service I have,unfortunately Uverse is not in my area yet.This will be my next ISP unless Cable comes around.

POst your ISP, LOCAtion, and ping to servers:
TIMe WARner! Cable, Cleveland OHIO!,

in command prompt
quake.crmod.com: 66

dm.clanhdz.com: 85! in game, cant ping this server in command prompt for some reason

speaknow.quakeone.com: 56

well i get those pings when its about 2 - 3 am, used to have a decent stable ping, not anymore,

I hate to say this -- other than the fact I don't hate to say this at all -- ditch Time Warner and go with AT&T DSL.

Even with AT&T's $19.95 per month 768 KB but get the first 3 months free plan, you will get a ping everywhere far superior

I canceled cable a few months ago due to that irresistible offer.

I am in Elyria and ping 90 everywhere with time warner cable.

Your pings might be more stable with xDSL in your area or FTTH, if available. But you'd likely have to live with lower download/upload speeds with xDSL.

Cable can be shit if your neighborhood node is oversubscribed. But that shouldn't be a problem in the early morning hours.

It's a crapshoot, as far as pings go; a luck-of-the-draw type deal. ISPs usually only market the flashy DL/UP speeds, rather than their network's stability or smoothness.

Like he said, it really depends on your location and the quality of the lines in the area plus amount of people.

I use OptimumOnline, and get decent pings. These are tracert's to popular server locations for me:

Chicago: 9 hops 30ms avg
NY: 10 hops 8ms avg
Virginia: 13 hops 15ms avg
St Louis: 17 hops 43ms avg
Denver: 12 hops 60ms avg

dm.clanhdz.com: 85! in game, cant ping this server in command prompt for some reason

This may be due to the new firewall that is installed on HDz's servers.

From Avalanche's post at http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-tal...romised-2.html

[*]All ICMP and other traffic is dropped except for a very select few, limited, secret IP ranges, thus allowing both myself and the datacenter to continue to do remote server monitoring. (Revealing what the ranges are, would in itself, open up the server to spoofed-packet DDoS attacks.)
