Hi

We live in South Africa and we are struggling with our ADSL line. Our exchanges are congested and the wiring is old and damaged. The odds that it would be replaced is zero. We live 4.8km from our exchange which is considered far

I used to have working ADSL but one day all went pear shaped. Latency started spiking. I don't have any line drops.

Remedies that I have tried

1) Tried three different routers
2) Changed pots filters. Also bought new ones
3) Tried without pots filters
4) Virus scan
5) Formatted computer
6) Tested from different computers
7) Used different Isp
8) Changed network cables
9) Connected router directly in to computer without any other computers attached
10) Connected router to different points in the house
11) Wireless switched off
12) Reduced line sync speed down from 4mb to 2mb (Made no difference in the latency)
13) Used Tcp-view to confirm there no established connections
14) Confirmed all my drivers are up to date
15) Changed my DNS to googles DNS after using results from Namebench(Optimal DNS tester)
16) They plugged me into a different port at our exchange
17)I use to have 5 telephone points in our house and they reduced it to 2
18)Flushed DNS
19) Resetted ports at our exchange
20) Switched off geysers
21)Technicians have come to test the lines at the house said the line is fine but unfortunately the qualification level here are sub standard. The guys had no idea what latency or jitter is.

Attached is some tracerts,pings and speed tests.

Here is also some Pingplotter results

If anyone can come up with some ideas or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I used to have a ping on local servers during online gaming of about 34ms but now its around 70ms and spikes to 1000ms.

Mweb and Webafrica are two Isp's here in South Africa

Skype calls also break up badly.

Thx in advance
