So basically what has happened (thanks Roberto):
Since mid-February, my connection has been getting very high latency times. I was initially a BT customer. After around 8 engineer visits, the engineer agreed to replace the line from the pole to the premises and this brought the latency in from around 1000ms-13000ms to around 80ms.
However, this was not the end of the issue. Cutting a long story short, I moved to Aquiss, got interleaving turned off and my pings are now around 40ms.
HOWEVER, on TBB's broadband quality monitor & through general browsing, my 'maximum' latency is still very high. I am a business user who relays on VoIP for calls however I cannot do so now as the latency is too high. Over the past few days, I believe I also have problems with resolving DNS'.
If I do a trace route, it never fully completes the trace for most sites:

However, one site it always completes on is a site I visit reguarly, macrumors.com:

I have a TBB quality monitor set up at:
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/c0c5b5aa41a...
At 10:19 BST, I have just started using the internet connection. It hasn't been used except for early morning and at around 2pm. At 6am I was uploading a video to YouTube.
Every time I actually use the internet connection, it seems that there is a large spike in 'maximum latency'.
I used Visualware's 'Visual Route' and got these results for most sites:

I have also tried a number of different DNS servers.
I have disabled every single firewall of all devices on the network. Tried plugging my MacBook Pro directly into the modem with nothing else connected and it still results in high latency.
Is it possible any one could give any advice?
Thanks again, Jack.
