Yes it is BT's fibre.

The first external hop looks normal, so this indicates an issue between my UBR and the rest of VM's network. I personally noticed this issue 2 out of the 3 past days at around 5pm. When I checked the TBB graph which I havent checked for a while I see a huge spike with much of it red, but not only at 5pm but also again around 10pm, checking historical data shows it almost daily at random points between 5pm and 11pm for the past 3 weeks. In addition my general jitter has been poor since mid may with noticeble congestion showing after 9 in the morning and I cannot remember the last time I had max download speed as thats also been affected.
BT put FTTC back to dec 2012 but work has been ongoing since june so I really hope its ahead of schedule because I will be off in a flash when its available. VM are acting like they want to lose customers.
Normally I contact the CEO office and start a 6-12 month process of waiting for the fix, not this time, the decision is made I will be parting ways with VM as soon as FTTC is here.

Seems like it.
