Re: High Pings

Ping measured by speedtest.net is completely meaningless. Actually, all results from that speedtester are a joke.

You must use a ping command to a known (fast) server e.g. bbc.co.uk. You'll then find your "true" ping speed - which is likely to be substantially lower than Sky. Mine for example is 18ms. I'd expect yours to be similar - wired that is. All bets are off, wireless.
