Re: Gaming Connections / Leicester
Ok concerning amsterdam link (this should be a national problem not just leics) I checked out the return path. Packet loss on trace starts from this hop.
7 amst-ic-1.inet.ntl.com (195.69.144.40) 8.774 ms * 8.409 ms
so did 100 pings on hop before it and all rock solid stable without fluctuation but when I did on 195.69.144.40 there is ping spikes galore and some minor packet loss.

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 8.438/13.438/78.593/10.398 ms
note this is from a dedicated 100mbit server so isnt subject to the normal fluctuations you would get on a cable connection. If I am awake I can do another 100 pings at a quiet time of day and show the difference.

Concerning the Leics upgrades, I am seeing congestion on my ubr for the first time in about 6 month's so whatever they did it looks like they shoved some heavy user's onto my segment.

look at all the ping spikes, the first few hops 2 days ago were all single figures which were not spiking very often, in this trace taken at 10pm only hop 4 didnt spike. So to me I am guessing they have just been moving users around to rebalance the network rather then doing actual upgrades.
2nd trace ubr spiked to 3 figures
