Aly wrote^^ I want to disagree with you about the 35ms + between the user and the ISP (Due to the phone copper cable), me before the upgrades the latency between me and Sodetel was stable 15 ms, and I have seen people less, have a look at this trace route that I did previously on my 512k connection:

Trace complete.
Notice hop #8 IP 213.242.116.25 this IP belongs to Level 3 Communications (France), notice how low is the ping at this hop.
o.O must be that private ISPs are switching to fastpath mode instead of Interleaved which doesn't sound good :|
as interleaved adds 25ms more to the latency :/
Can you check your modem report and paste it here please ???
