I could argue you are spouting rubbish as well.
You post it is not VM side, with nothing to back that up other than your statement. So we will have to agree to disagree.
Just remember you calling my green hills a localised problem doesnt have much clout when we have several other regions with the same green hills on their graphs.
I also sense a sign of disrespect when you consider an issue thats bad enough to cause base latency to sky rocket to not be performance affecting.
Also that I never once said tesco was caused by this spike, I simply posted it was extremely slow on my VM connection (not on my 3G), also not on 2 other connections I tested. I also stated the tracert was from after the time period in question and that the latency spikes on that were not unusual for my area. You suddenly go on the defensive over VM's problems as if you have some stake in their network or something.
Thank you for confirming you disagree with VMs statement by the way, as VM did say it was atroto related. They specifically addressed this in relation to the tbb graphs people were posting.
So several websites/services have issues only with VM but its not VMs fault
