Speed reading very erratic , Ping very long, result= hard to watch Youtube?

Still a download of 7.8 , up 0.4 , reason for complaint to TOT?

You do have define where the ping is 388ms, otherwise the value has no use.

If your youtube videos play well, then there is no reason to complain.

You can always try pingtest to: pingtest.oilinki.com

I get 0.036ms average. That's 10.000 faster than your latency, even if my Internet connection is via 3G modem.

You can go to command line prompt and do ping from there.

Never mind the results which you get from pingtest.oilinki.com. That's intended to be more of an joke and have nothing to do with your internet connection. (The results will be very fast).

In general the ping time can be a good indicator if something is wrong. Then again all the ping times are related from where you do the ping to where.

If you ping your own computer, the ping times are less than an millisecond, when you ping something that is in other continent, the ping times are few hundred milliseconds. This is due the speed of light in the fiber optic cables plus times it takes for the network elements to process the ping packets.
