Now where I live once it burps the Internet goes down for 1-2 minutes for the node/s to reboot.
Your issue may need a tech. But I don't think it will improve your ping. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Digicel is actually buying/renting bandwidth from FLOW - and FLOW allows it because they make money either way. What they do to mess with Digicel is the way the traffic is routed - so even though it's a FTTH connection you have higher ping than if you were on the FLOW network. Speeds are smashingly good though - usually.
I would think this is a routing issue as even with a local speedtest his results are off as well and the uploads are fine.
