I used to be on Blueyonder 20Mb (and I have been with them for over 5 years) but over the past 18 months it has gone down hill. I cut my 20Mb down to 2Mb becuase at times I wasn't getting more than 2Mb out of it (even to their own FTP).
I called their help desk in timbuktu and was told that that was acceptable for a 20Mb line! :erm:
Anyway over the past few months I have been getting really bad packet loss
I have a few examples of other days on another forum but here are todays results

So, I thought I would plug right into the modem and not use my router

So, after them saying all about these speed tests sites not being right etc etc I thought I would ping their internl FTP server. This would prove that VM are right and that any issues anyone ever has is outside of their network!

errrr....no. So it just goes to show you that I still get loss to their internal FTP and I am plugged directly into the modem.
A traceroot shows me that its the first hop that is the issue
