[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1515469, member: 71075"] Generally speaking, 160 is a bit high. However, that could be for a whole host of reasons. What are you pinging? Is your connection throttled? What are the details (up/down speeds) for your internet package? I wouldn't worry about this. I'd only start to worry when you actually see slow downs. A ping is rather artificial in that it only measures how quickly a very small amount of data moves out and back between you and a remote machine. Since loading something like a webpage generally involves connecting to multiple remote machines, a ping targeted at one site tells you even less. [/QUOTE]
