  1. If you do a speed test you usually are given 3 results; up, down and ping. I think I’m right in saying ping is the amount of time it takes to get a packet of data to the test site and recieve a response measured in milliseconds...the lower the number the better. (Correct me if I’m wrong fellas) I’ve just checked mine and I have a 22ms ping on a wired connection. I have a basic Virgin Media package and I’m happy with the gaming experience I get. Hope this helps
  2. Also, you gave up and download rates but not ping, which I believe is the important one for gaming.
  3. Raid please if possible?

  8. West Ham have been busy.... West Ham have signed midfielder Felipe Anderson from Lazio for a club record fee on a four-year contract. The 25-year-old, who has been capped once by Brazil, scored 34 goals in 177 appearances for the Italian club. The deal eclipses the £22m West Ham paid Toulouse for France Under-21 defender Issa Diop last month. Anderson was part of Brazil's Olympic gold medal-winning squad in 2016. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44810938
  9. West Ham have signed Paraguay defender Fabian Balbuena from Corinthians on a three-year deal. The 26-year-old joins the Hammers for an undisclosed fee after two years with the Brazilian top flight side. Balbuena, who captained Corinthians and has seven international caps, becomes West Ham's sixth summer signing. "I'm really excited for this new challenge and my target is to meet the demands of the Premier League," said the centre-back. "Obviously to be at West Ham is an extra motivation and I want to do my best to help the team." Manuel Pellegrini took over as manager at the London Stadium club in May and signed England midfielder Jack Wilshere and Ukraine winger Andriy Yarmolenko last week. The Hammers have also recruited France Under-21 defender Issa Diop for a club record fee of £22m, as well as Poland goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from Swansea and English defender Ryan Fredericks from Fulham. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44833663

  11. Here you go James, one for you.... Oxford United have signed Crusaders winger Gavin Whyte for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract. The 22-year-old former Northern Ireland U21 international scored 23 goals as Crusaders secured a third Premiership title in four years in April. Whyte only signed a new deal with the Seaview side earlier this week. "He is quick, skilful and has an eye for goal and we knew that so many other clubs were looking at him" boss Karl Robinson told the club website. Whyte capped an outstanding season by winning the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year at the Northern Ireland Football Awards. "I wanted to make sure it was the right move for me and as soon as I found out Oxford were interested I knew this was where I wanted to come," he said. "I have heard a lot of good things about both the manager and the club and now I am determined to work hard, keep progressing and be part of a really successful season." Whyte was in the Northern Ireland squad on the Central American tour in early summer although he has yet to win a senior cap.
  12. Chelsea have signed Italy international Jorginho from Napoli after Manchester City pulled out of a £50m deal. Jorginho, 26, has signed a five-year contract to join former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge. On Thursday, City were assured by Jorginho's agent that the midfielder still wanted to join them, despite Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis saying the player favoured Chelsea. "I am absolutely ecstatic to be here at Chelsea," Jorginho said. "It is not easy to become part of such a big team so I am very, very happy. I am excited to play in such an intense league for a team that gives everything to play and win." Brazil-born Jorginho had been at Napoli since 2014 and scored four goals in 36 appearances for the side last season as they finished second in Serie A. He scored a penalty in Napoli's 4-2 Champions League defeat by Manchester City in November and also played for Italy in a 1-1 draw with England in March. Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia described him as "one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe". Manchester City are not very impressed at all at how this has worked out because they thought an agreement was in place. They are of the opinion that part of the fee Napoli will receive from Chelsea - likely to be about £57m - will be considered compensation for Sarri's departure. Their view is that it was made clear to Jorginho that Napoli would only do business with Chelsea - and with the player desperate to move to the Premier League, City lost out. City have walked away from deals before when the fees involved got too high, notably with Alexis Sanchez and Riyad Mahrez. And they feel Mahrez's subsequent arrival from Leicester this summer for a club record £60m - much less than they were quoted in January - proved the wisdom of that approach. Manager Pep Guardiola had viewed Jorginho as a replacement for Yaya Toure and he is now assessing his options. The return of left-back Benjamin Mendy after missing most of last term means it is possible Fabian Delph could be used in a central midfielder role instead, meaning there would be no need to bring in an additional signing. Who is Jorginho? Jorginho - full name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho - was utilised primarily as a deep-lying midfielder by Sarri at Napoli and has been likened in style to former Spain international Xabi Alonso and ex-Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo. Having been born in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, Jorginho qualified for Italian citizenship through his grandparents and rose through the youth ranks at Hellas Verona before making his Serie B debut in September 2011. He played a key role in helping Verona win promotion to Serie A in May 2013, which prompted Rafael Benitez to bring him to Napoli for £9m in January 2014, and won the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana in his first year in Naples. Jorginho has won eight caps for Italy having made his international debut in a 1-1 friendly draw with Spain in March 2016. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44430551
  13. Liverpool have signed Switzerland forward Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke City on a five-year deal, after triggering his £13m release clause. The 26-year-old was Stoke's top scorer last season with eight goals as they were relegated from the Premier League. He joined the Potters from Inter Milan in August 2015 for a club record fee of £12m. Shaqiri scored against Serbia at the World Cup as Switzerland reached the last 16, where they lost to Sweden. In June, he was reported as saying he wanted to leave Stoke and sign for a Premier League club. Liverpool have already strengthened their squad this summer with the £39m signing of Monaco midfielder Fabinho, and the arrival of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig. Shaqiri, who will wear the number 23 shirt, was linked with a move to Anfield in 2014 but Bayern Munich reportedly blocked the transfer. "As a player you always want to be on the biggest stage in football," he said. "A few years ago I wanted to come too but it didn't happen. I'm really happy that now I'm finally here. I want to improve myself too, I want to be with the best and I want to win titles. "It's a huge club with big history, big players and a fantastic coach. So I'm really glad and happy to be here." Shaqiri won the Champions League with Bayern in 2013, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said: "I think the English phrase to explain the decision to sign Xherdan is a 'no-brainer'. "I know him well from his time in Switzerland and especially Germany - I have been a long-time admirer. But the added bonus now is that he knows the Premier League and what it takes to perform in this uniquely intense environment. "He has speed and ability, has the right amount of arrogance on the football pitch, real bravery to want the ball and influence things. "He is someone who makes a big difference to the squad and team, because he can fit in so many positions in our system." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44818207

  15. (CNN)Change is afoot at Arsenal Football Club. Arsene Wenger is gone. Long-term defender Per Mertesacker has hung up his boots. Unai Emery has been announced as the new manager and, to top it off, the club has signed a new shirt-sponsorship deal with the central-east African nation Rwanda. The deal between Visit Rwanda and Arsenal is for three years. The three-year deal with the English Premier League club will be its first ever sleeve sponsorship, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) said in a statement. The "Visit Rwanda" logo will be emblazoned on the left sleeve on all first team, Under-23 and Arsenal Women's shirts from the beginning of the new season this summer. Arsenal superfan shares favorite Wenger moments "We're thrilled to be partnering with Arsenal and showcasing the vibrancy and beauty of our country," said Clare Akamanzi, CEO of RDB. The deal aims to highlight Rwanda's tourist hotspots, like the national parks, rainforests and wildlife. Last year 1.3 million people visited Rwanda, the RDB reports, and tourism is the country's largest foreign exchange earner. Unai Emery succeeds Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager Rwanda will hope to attract visitors by being visible on one of world football's most popular clubs. "The Arsenal shirt is seen 35 million times a day around the world," said Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal's Chief Commercial Officer, in a statement on the club's website. They haven't disclosed the financial details. Arsenal is the sixth largest football club in the world, according to Deloitte. Manchester United have the top spot, followed by Real Madrid. Earlier this year the IMF stated that Rwanda is the third fastest growing economy in Africa, although human rights groups report restricted freedom of speech. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/23/africa/arsenal-football-shirt-rwanda-africa-intl/index.html
