Gaming on O2 and pings

[browners]

I have a steady ping of around 65-90 to most game servers. I have had better in the good old days when ADSL was new, shiney around 35 to most (using Nildram before they where bought over)

I previously had my interleaving turned off / reduced but need a few questions answered on this.

1. Will O2 re-configure my interleaving to reduce my overall latency ?

2. By doing so, will this effect my sync or line download speeds in anyway ?

Thanks in advance

They used to change interleaving on request but I believe it's not official policy to any more. Interleaving = more stable connection.

Pings of 65-90 whilst not bad, aren't as good as I'd expect with O2. Presumably this isn't wireless is it - I'm sure you know wireless will add latency?

If wired then how are you measuring it? For example. if I ping bbc.co.uk then I get 18ms, jolt.co.uk gives 19ms:

C:\ping bbc.co.uk
