I used to connect to my router from upstairs, via wireless. I had around 70 ping in most servers and in a good/close one had around 50. Now, I moved the router to right next to me, used the necessary cables to connect it to the phone thing outside my room, and now I’m getting horrible ping, but absolutely fine internet/download speeds.

Happens with both wireless and wired.

My guess: your not connected to the first telephone socket in your house (root telephone socket? idk what it’s called in english)

No, it’s one upstairs that is connected to the same thing. But surely, the download speed would change (As crap as it is) too?

EDIT:
Put it back downstairs (Mum’s a twat sometimes :|) and I’m getting the same. Seems it’s a router problem.

Try a new Microfilter (the ADSL splitter between phone and modem).

If you don’t have one spare to test check your SNR is abnormal before buying one.

97ms is horrible.. :|

Use pingtest if you wanna test your internet for that kinda problems, speedtest just gives you a ping you happened to get at the moment of testing whereas pingtest pings the server for a bit longer, calculates jitter and pl etc.
