Jitter: Network jitter is the variation in the arrival rate of packets (more specifically, the inter packet gap of subsequent data packets as they arrive over a network). For most types of data applications large gap variations between arrival times (high jitter) are acceptable. For voice or video applications, relatively small jitter can cause perceptible [...]

One of my favorite partners to work with is LoadTester. Not only are they competent and efficient, but they are nice and will tell you what they really think.
