Hi,
There's nothing you can do to change your latency. Latency depends on server response, right HKP, between hops your connection is going through. But there isn't anything you can do about it unless you own your cable company and buy another, faster, tower to hop to rather than using the one that's spiking at times because of possible tech. difficulties.
Sorry, Shmotz, but it's not something you can control. The tracert command will tell you how many hops there are between you and the pub server you're on and it will tell you which hop the slow one is. But there's no way a joe schmoe can (legally!!) control their hops.
"What's a 'hop'?": It's the towers/servers that send and recieve internet connection for each different area all over the world. Each server the connection stops at to distribute itself to ISP's and then to customers is a "hop".
The average of speed (in milliseconds) between each hop from you to what you're connecting to is your latency.
All the tracert command does is give you information on your hops. In a language that if you're not keen on these kinds of things would be japanese to you.
Legal schmegal you say? See if HPK will teach you how to do all you'll need to know. I like ya bro but I'm not that willing...lol
Latency spikes are just something everyone has to deal with.
Call Bill Gates and bitch? Who owns Comcast? Get us their number too.
