Are you 'dialing' into to a corporate network and then testing the latency? (ie vpn)

It's not VPN. I believe after everything thats probably what I will need to do is get a VPN.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
this, I don't really understand what are we comparing latency to?.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
ISPs might be able to optimize the network routing but over 80ms latency from Calgary sounds to me an IP address on the East Coast US.

It is on the east coast US. I'm going to try a VPN and see if it helps, I think it should?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
worth a try, I'm assuming work VPN and not a commercial VPN?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
once on the corporate VPN, it will have a better routing to the server/services you need to get to.
but you may still have to deal with the latency from your home to the VPN gateway
If you run a tracert and post it, we may be able to make suggestions
Is this a public server we could test for you? Pm me the website and imm check mine for ya.

A ping of 24 on Shaw is at least 3 times worse than it should be. Shaw should be 6-8ms and Telus Fiber 1ms. You should get those pings even with the provider hardware so I think something else is up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Shaw's been consistent 3ms average pings the last couple of years.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Like someone else says, tracert is your answer. Is it a bad wire to your router? Is it bad to your modem's gateway? Or is it bad routing past that?

Nah its login only. This apparently was a false alarm. Her company emailed her saying it has to be under 100ms, so she's good.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
However, I have realized that the router we're using isn't putting out more than about 60 DL, when I plug it into the modem, its over 150 DL. The router is shit.
The stock telus and shaw routers are pretty awful, and are completely garbage for WiFi. Worth upgrading to a real router and just putting your ISP provided hardware into bridge mode.

You said in your first post that you were using the ISP wifi/modem/router unit as a router, but now you have another standalone router connected to the network?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Sounds like it changed shortly after I ditched them then. At any rate, 24 is way too high for Shaw so something else is up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Whatever telus gives you for a router, thats what I was plugged in to. I unplugged it and plugged direct to the MODEM and its was more than double the speed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I only have one router.
One thing I don't like about Telus is the hassle to integrate a 3rd party router if you have both Fibre and their TV service.
Shaw is much simpler.

ISn't the answer to the OP's title question always yes?
Not if its a Mar thread.
