Notice how "Always-on" has been dropped from broadband advertising lately...

Taken for granted now I imagine.

Get your own router, put the Superhub into modem mode and put it elsewhere in the property, turn the router off at night, leave the Superhub on with LEDs covered, problem solved.

Or start using parental controls if the kids aren't grown up enough to be trusted with the broadband and either cover up the LEDs on the Superhub or move it to a more sensible place than a bedroom.

The only PC was originally in our bedroom so the modem was installed there.

Our twins have disabilities which mean they do not truly understand the passage of time.

The fault is known to the Network Managers (very poor signal to noise ratio in the area causing my symptoms, and others, in this part of the city).

And I suspect they will not go for the bodge approach by advising the use of a router and covering the LEDs.

Let's hope whatever they do the resolution is complete and ensures you've no further cause to post BQMs.

So this is my 200 Mbps line at pektime

That's a strange looking BQM indeed.

I bet your Network Log looks interesting for that period.

I'd recommend a look at http://www.thinkbroadband.com/tools/traceroute.html

Cheers but actually it's not a CLI TR, its an extract from LFT Path Analyser 2.7 on OSX 10.11.2 with raw sockets enabled courtesy of Vostrom (Van Jacobson eat your heart out! )

EDIT: but as usual your statement is totally correct as being an experienced "man-of-the-world" you've also found that not all CLITR's are useful!

Got a letter a couple of weeks ago advising of maintenance today and true to their word, it's on going.

Out of interest, what is actually done during "maintenance work"?

It doesn't matter how you run it, it's an outbound traceroute and that's the problem.

Traceroute by design can only see the outbound path. Remember how it works; it measures the time from when the system sends the UDP datagram or ICMP echo to when the TTL expired comes back. It only sees the node that sent the TTL expired, which is an outbound path router, so can't identify how those TTL expired messages sent by routers on the outbound path made their way back to you.

EDIT: If the humps are still there I can show you the respective return paths if you provide the first 3 octets of the IP addresses in question.

They're probably tidying up cabinets, replacing and installing new taps, and, hopefully, upgrading amplifiers and optical nodes to allow for more downstream and upstream channels.
