Hiya. Recentley (past few days) I have been experiencing ups and downs in my 10MB service. It's always been flawless. Pings, Speeds, Uptime have been bang on perfect. However as I've said this week it has been terrible. When I do a speedtest I do get 10MB, but sometimes I get less than 3MB. I have not been capped/STM'ed as I download within the hours allocated..and upload is still same speed etc. And no one is downloading / using the net when this is happening.
During games I am lagging due to packetloss (in game stats show packetloss).
Here is a ping to

As you can now see everything is ok. But sometimes this happens and then packetloss occurs.

I just wanted to see if you guys can see anything out of the ordinary. I've done all Ican on my side. Restarted both cable modem / router. Checked optimum wireless settings etc. Hopefully its just a "passing storm" and everything will return to normal.
