I don't know how to copy the meter....so am adding my stats this way.
Is this good or bad, or so so?

[Joanna]

I don't know Judy.  Yours isn't as good as Teresa's, but it's almost twice as fast as mine...  Diane's looks like a sonic boom and poor Jane isn't in the running  
I wonder if I should get mine checked out because it does seem that it's getting slower all the time and our computer is up to date on all it's shots...

What's ping?

[W. Gray]

It goes with pong. 


Here is a definition,
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for packets sent from the local host to a destination computer, including the local host's own interfaces.

Maybe someone else could explain further.

I selected other sites to test my speed but all of them were close to the same, which is slow.
