Cycle through them on your own equipment until you get a good one. 3 of my 5 are no good. Luckily I only need 1.

I wrote that software buddy. It runs on Mac, Windows and Linux and will be open source (GPLv3). I've been developing it for just over a month, I've been ill for the last 2 weeks (had covid symptoms but thankfully tested negative) so development stopped, but I've just started up again and trying to get to a position of a first release.

Currently this is targetting 1.1.1.1, but that's just because I haven't added the actual interface to create a new target. It's been written as an extensible piece of software, it uses plugins for everything, this means that the ping engine can be replaced with a different one, other functions can be added to the software and so forth.

Yes I got this:-

Date of Issue 20/03/2020
Planned Work Ref C01110305
Planned Work Start (Local UK): 22/03/2020 00:01
Planned Work End (Local UK): 22/03/2020 06:01
Impact: There will be a loss of service at some point during the timeframe stated above whilst we complete the maintenance work.
The service outage should only last for 5 minutes but additional instability for up to 2 hours could be seen, however a 6 hour time frame has been given in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.

This is urgent work that needs to take place on our Network

I really wish they'd give a clue as to what they're doing, although I guess that may be commercially sensitive. I wonder if this is anything to do with the static ip problem.

Re: Any business customers in new Malden having issues?

I didn't record any outage last night, despite being told there would be, and while marginally improved today - on Friday it's still not working well.

On Friday about 4 Mb/s on a 500 Mb/s business service, today around 15 Mb/s, possibly due to local congestion I guess

I had issues, but switched to a different IP on my range and I’m getting 350 odd and 30 up. On the previous IP it was the kind of speeds you are reporting.

I also didn’t see any outages or downtime.

I pushed the source code here:

https://github.com/fizzyade/pingnoo

It's still a work in progress, currently it only pings 1.1.1.1, it's only a small bit of work to finish this bit up though and it's next on my list of things to do.
