Can anyone explain the strange routing NTL is using also the second NTL leg seems to be high.

Mines been up the shaft too recently

Keep getting big 500ms+ spikes from one hop

Its a shame it has been flawless upuntil the past few days.

[James Henry]

Both the routing and the pings shown seem absolutely fine. From Manchester area to London servers in an average of 17ms, only 2ms above the minimum is pretty good!

The route being taken to both seems pretty direct and nothing weird about it at all.
