Hi. I just joined vodafone.
I am very happy with the speed (it is way over what I need), but not so much about the ping. The best ping I see to London is 22ms, usually it is higher. My ping to Edinburgh is 15ms, and this is the lowest I see, lower even than Manchester with its 23ms. These pings are higher than I expected, my pings on the previous broadband were about 7ms even if the connection was 30 times slower. (The pings are to Vodafone's servers as measured by speedtest.net.)
Is this normal what I see, and does one expect an improvement or otherwise?
I am still on a cooldown period, so I can cancel.

Interesting! Are you saying that the choice of a gateway is not up to vodafone?

In their infinite wisdom vodafone added their own automated "load balancing" system, along with it's own proprietary algorithm. This is not accessible to anyone at Vodafone support (not even level 3 techs). It's a "secured" system.
