Core network issues anyone?
 

Is it just me or is anyone else seeing major core network congestion tonight?

I'm seeing <6mbps speeds and a major hike in latency to both my endpoint CPE:

and other CMTS' in my area:

Oddly cmts stats seem to show a major hike for everybody:

but my own pingmonitor shows other areas aren't affected (e.g. Cambs):

So is anyone else having issues or is it just me (and is the cmts monitor on UKIR is lying)?

Never mind, looks like it's just the Manchester => Edinburgh link that's broken.

Yeah the loss is for all VM connections, something with their interconnect that's been having trouble for a while now.

Anyhow, looks like the speed issues cleared up, and was just some parts of north england/scotland.
