Yup, same on mine:



Peering link went down or something? It smells of a routing issue that has just automatically fallen over in some way.

Happened about a week ago too.. problem with routing between TBB and Virgin I guess

By the looks of it they are re routing traffic through france, Must be temporary.

How very peculiar. Getting a fair amount of packet loss as well (although it's not noticeable).

[MaverickJesus]

They've probably got some cheap off-the-back-of-a-lorry bandwidth deal with Cogent tied up so figured they would route a few million people via cheese country and see if anyone noticed.

Seems to have finished now

Past few days my internet has been really great (besides fluctuating download speeds at peak time), with the fix date for upstream and downstream utilisation not until 7th of August.



I'm just wondering, if downstream utilisation can cause fluctuating pings, with spikes as seen in the graph? I can do a speedtest at ANY time and get my full 11.5mbps upload, but download speed varies at peak time from 50mb to 125mb.

This was just over a week ago:



This seems like upstream utilisation to me, I'd struggle to get more than 3mbps upload at peak time, about a week ago
