Nice ADSL speeds.

and my ping time to my ISP is 160-170 msec.

Is that the time to your ISP's gateway given to your modem?
If so, that is pretty bad.

It is the ping time mentioned by www.speedtest.net, which is using a
speedtest server of my ISP.

I am sending a screenshot attached from the speedtest.



I have 15/2 fios service and I get

--- isp_gateway ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 8999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 7.601/7.853/7.943/0.108 ms


When I ping to speedtest.ontelecoms.gr in terminal it outputs:

[john@localhost ~]$ ping -c 10 speedtest.ontelecoms.gr

[john@localhost ~]$

Now why does it mention 8998ms, while www.speedtest.net mentions 165 ms?

It mentions 8998 ms because that is how long it has been run for.
That is nothing to do with teh return time of ping.




Do I need to make any networking changes?
