Every time i run the tracert, different things have high pings, for example, the yahoo.co.uk tracert i did above the first hop got 7ms, 7ms, 5ms.

I just ran the test again and the first hop got: 235ms, 7ms, *.

It seems to do it at a random time, where the connection seems to slow right down.

EDIT: It seems to have resolved itself now :s, do you know of any work that may have been carried out in my area to cause this issue?

Just to compare to the tracert i got from yahoo.co.uk before, this is what i get now:

Trace complete.

There is a clear difference as not one of them is over 30ms, and not one of them timed out.
