this is getting beyond a joke now. i don't suppose there's much i can do is there apart from doing these every night for evidence? starting to lose faith (well started losing a while ago) but it's starting to come to the boil.

icmp pings aren't the best to use as afaik that ntl router with 50% packet loss is set to drop icmp pings if load gets high and seeing as it's the only one "dropping" packets i dont see that as the cause.
although me and you take different routes to that server, the last 4 hops are the same and i get the following:

hop 9 would likely to be set to have icmp replys as low priority like the other main ntl routers and as hops 10/11 have low pings nowhere near hop 9's that would "confirm" that to be the case. seeing an 80ms ping increase after euroconnex.net is no surprise to me, i have had the "pleasure" of dealing with them before and i think the record was having my connect lost ~30 times in a minute
