ok thanks, look forward to your review

the plusnet exodus continues

You almost certainly did get hit by lots of small businesses turning on their computers at 9am. See this News Article.

I don't think that's true at all. We saw no evidence of any significant performance change on Zen circuits.

I should expand, I've seen sod all evidence of any major issue generally on any of the ISPs I deal with, although I did actually expect to see some, it seemed pretty manageable overall.

It was not all, but enough on small business providers like Zen, IDNet, AAISP to suggest something regional

Odd, can't say I've seen this on any of the circuits I have access to and that spans all of those ISPs and many more, in various locations. Certainly less than when an iOS update appears which I was surprised by.

My sample is based on browsing all the BQM monitors and as I've said its not connections on those providers but enough to suggest something was going on

The BQM you had just seems to suggest latency, since that's what monitors, is there anything that can correlate that with Windows 10?

"is there anything that can correlate that with Windows 10? "

If you are saying how do I know its Windows download related?
Because talked to a provider or two who confirmed seeing lots of Akamai related traffic that looked like it was the Windows 10 downloads.

OK... so does that mean the various TBB BQM graphs are showing end users lines becoming higher in latency because they're flat out getting the W10 download...

...or the provider's peering/transit routes to you (eg Netconnex) were flat out so your graphs were distorted (since unlike something like the CQM on AA lines the monitoring is going to be hurt if there is congestion somewhere in the path...

I posted that BQM, and it wasn't anything my end that would cause the packet loss.

Our engineers have identified a current issue with packet loss on our core network due to exceptional customer demand at this time.

We will continue to monitor this situation.
