Well I am only forwarding what I know. There is a confirmed problem that the cogent link to linx is fubared possible at max load but nevertherless performing badly, since a lot of traffic goes through linx I put 2 and 2 together.

EV1 are the only ones who can solve this, they have a magnitude of providers they can use, should they wish to do so they can reroute uk traffic through a different provider but for cost reasons they are probably sticking to cogent. Cogent is america's fastest growing backbone and is by far the cheapest and more and more of their datacentre's are hooking up to it lured by the prices ($10 per mbit) but the cogent transatlantic link is congested to the hilt.
