I'm not sure it's a routing issue though as, like I said, the connection is absolutely fine most of the time. Every tracert I try looks OK, as it doesn't exhibit the 'spike' while I'm tracert'ing!

It only spikes every 30-40 seconds which is why only an extended ping catches it.

It will look something like:

15ms
14ms
15ms
15ms
15ms
13ms
14ms
1450ms <--- The spike
15ms
14ms
15ms
15ms
15ms
13ms
14ms

As you can imagine, online gaming (and it happens in every game I play, so it's not a gaming server issue - even happens when I connect direct IP to my mate who is on 1mb ADSL in the next village on)
