Thanks!
Looks like you're being routed through sheffield too... Brilliant first hop latency, then it all goes wrong.
What are they doing!
BT route a lot of people via some really lol worthy routing - I'm also routed via Sheffield despite being almost as South in the UK as you can get and relatively close to London... ~300miles of unnecessary routing and all the issues that brings (exposes my connection to issues all over the country).
Was hoping it would be fixed when we get FTTC soonish but guess it won't be the case
Before they stripped the names off some of the hops (which I'm sure wasn't an accident) I spotted days when I was routed via several major cities along the way including one crazy day where it went something like South Somerset->Birmingham->Cardiff->Sheffield->Milton Keynes->Illford.
