LATENCY!!!

nope mine still steady aswell. using saix atm . tested with IS and pings bit higher tho.
 
My graph is very similar to teRRRier, though I have min/max on, showing even more spikes (5th hop only).

I turn my PC off overnight, so I can't show a 12 hour graph, but the 24 hour graph shows a huge improvement!
 
(rondebosch) well, i noticed my pings improve at 10pm last night and are still 'decent', but definitely not ideal. theres still packet loss and lots of jitter, and it looks like my ping is starting to get worse right now.

Content for now , still waiting to see rest of the day. Would really like an official response as to if it had been fixed, I realy cant take the word of a techie that called me this morning although as far as results are now , he might have been on the right track as to what was going on.

Now if this results can continue when ppl get home later on... :) lets hope
 
I've received no notification of any fix yet. Until i do my assumption is that any reduction we are seeing in symptoms is temporary, we have had days like this before.

those spikes might be my IM and browser. not sure. played some quake and it was awesome!!! i got the sickest frags... please stay!!
 
Lack of comments on this thread = people not having issues at the moment I take it. Apparently some techy found the problem and fixed it, he deserves a medal.

Details about this techie please! Or are you just speculating?

Edit: Latency still looking good for me. I'm not quite ready to delete PingPlotter yet!

Tracert should be fine for routine checking one this 'episode' is over...

My local latency is still good, but I've just started getting horrendous international results. Anybody else?

Edit: Was just been for a few mins. International seems stable now.

Changed my PingPlot to news.bbc.co.uk (usually 260ms from CT vis SEACOM).
