ping only tests latency *not* throughput. So it is not really a good test.

        what kind of bandwidth you max out using that.  Or use ping with -i & 
-s 
        set to reasonable values depending on whether you're using jumbo frames 
or 
        not.
        
        If the problem is your connection is dropping a few packets, this will 
show 
        up better here.  Using "ping -f" is also a pretty good troubleshooter.
