If so, then we're not comparing apples to apples. Here's apples to apples. PPPoE, nat, webserver running about 2000 hits/day, 768/128 Ameritech DSL - dynamic IP. The computer is a 233 PII with 64MB ram and FreeBSD 4.1.1 (with the tcpmssd patch to ppp) but the network cards are both CNET 100Base-TX cards. The below ping times are pretty much normal, even tho I'm in the middle of a file transfer. round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 24.203/28.876/35.084/4.076 ms One thing you might want to try is bringing their router to your place and see what happens.
