So why does mine vary so much, at sometimes of the day it can be around 50ms but mostly its around 250ms, can anyone help me keep it at a low ms?

Any Suggestions?

Sometimes it depends on internet speeds, myne usually runs around 47-60, but if ive been downloading, and virgin throttles me, it goes up 900+
the only way i get around it is stop downloading, and reset the router. Seems to fool the isp.

What type of connection ? (Wired/Wireless)

Also , Do any other people use your network , mines seems to go awfully high when i someone else is on.

I was wondering if the VoIp effects it? Usually I test it on my laptop.. when no-one else is on it.
