Maybe you're now going out over the London gateway?

I've been having terrible packet loss, using the Manchester gateway. Then about five to nine tonight I was disconnected. Now I'm using the London gateway, and things are looking pretty good.

Mine is going through London too. Was previously Manchester until sometime yesterday becaue all last night my connection was solid with no dropped packets. There is a fault in Manchester and it's being worked on so no doubt once that's sorted all those moved to London will be moved back.
