Re: Ping Math to Kbps

The reason I asked this question:
I had been using the Verizon Speedtest because the connection
seemed so slow. Sometimes it read under 350Kbps and 5 minutes later
1.8Mbps. I called Verizon to check for problems. One test they had
me do was the PING of google to see how fast the connection APART FROM
their test. They still have not solved the fast/slow thing. I was
using:
http://infospeed.verizon.net for a Verizon DSL connection

Thanks for the info that I am trying to compare "apples and oranges" -
Not sure what the Verizon tech was doing then???
