In working on making their service work for me, the folks at VONAGE recommended PingPlotter -- and I must say it's terrific.



I am supposed to have 512kb/sec symmetric DSL/C (on its own dry copper pair/no phone on the line); Paradyne MVL modem... Watchguard SOHO fiewall...



I've been trying to solve a really awful problem with the Vonage VOIP service.... If I do ANYTHING that downloads while i'm on the phone, the incoming voice gets chopped beyond usability.



I've been PP-ing a server in my ISP's net -- and I get moments when the RTT's are in the hundreds of MS... I can cause the RTT's to go to heck if I download a big file; if I upload I see a degradation but nothing like the impact of a download.



My question: does anyone have a similar PP image? (OR: if you look at JUST the RTT to the FIRST router at the ISP end of the DSL line, what are the Min/Max/Average times?



Thanks in advance



Dennis
