Re: Virgin Akamai Cache Congestion

Bit of an update re iplayer..

I may be wrong here, but going off the hostnames it looks like some strange routing on virgin's end, going via new york?

Would explain the huge latency to that server too!

Does anyone else see the same strange routing / high latency on their VM connection?

EDIT:

These are examples of the hosts / IPs for the routes that seem to be broken on VM, not sure how we'd get anyone at VM to look into it though!
