Ignoring the warnings in the game that make you think you need to change broadband.I can definitely tell that pings are around 10ms higher on Vodafone/CF FTTP (16-23ms to a server in my hometown) vs. my old BT/OR FTTP (7-11ms to a server in my hometown) connection... That's clearly because they are routing me via a Scottish Gateway... Power cycling didn't help here...
Do I feel a difference? Speeds are the same (uploads are better), and in gaming you do get bad connection warnings more often (e.g., in F1 23), and pings are generally higher (as my connection has to go up north, before it goes back down via London to continental Europe where more gaming servers are located)... That can often make a difference between decent pings (around 20-30) and not so decent pings (around 30-40).
I even thought my Openreach pings were pretty high for an FTTP connection... but I guess that's just something you need to live with if you're outside of London... Used to have better cable broadband pings back in 2008 in Germany...
What trouble have you experienced with this ping you’re concerned about?
