    How do you determine a good ping.

    This is mine:

    Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

    Is it any good.

    It is reasonable but not great. A gamer would prefer a lower ping, but most other people wouldn't notice a difference. It is better then dial-up. What service do you have?

    For a comparison, this is my ping on NTL 3m/300k:
