if you're connecting into luton, there's more at fault than the routing. i've had similar problems for the last month ro so. last week i decided enough was enough and called TS. spoke to helpful guy who actually listened to what i had to say, rather than reading form a crib sheet. i explained my upstream was being throttled, and so killing my download. after doing some checks, it turns out that the luton ubr i'm connected to is not very well balanced. utilisation on the upstreams were 87%, 95%, 92%, 37%, 34% and 28% respectively. fine if you're on the last 3, poor if you're on 1, 2 or 3 as at peak times the ubr just gets swamped. lucky me, i'm on upstream 1

.

i thought the countrywide re-balancing work earlier this week might have solved it but i think they must have missed luton as it's as bad as ever. back on the phone tomorrow i think, i've just had to cancel a job tonight due to instability of the link.
