Ping statistics for 204.127.205.8: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 34ms, Maximum = 40ms, Average = 38ms


In the broadest sense its good.

You pinged COMCAST and it returned each of the 4 packets sent.

It took 34 milliseconds, then 39, 40 and finally 39 to return the pings. These times are respective.
