TH has more pronounced perturbations than Raven and that might be down to Croydon - I don't know.

Cheers, nice to know about these kinds of tests.
I would have thought that ping replies were so basic and low level that cpu load wouldn't affect them (or the silly low amount of ram) but im far from an expert in this area and have no idea how it actually works. Just did a quick google to see what chipset and if a single chip is used for all the functions but didn't find anything enlightening, except for a possibly too simple to be true way of bypassing the shubs security.
If ping replies are not dealt with by the chips own routines and is affected by firmware, that could be another avenue. But if its just a few people its unlikely unless something in that area creates a condition that brings it to light.
Interesting to say the least. If work on that area of the network is due or happening, it would be a simpler answer
