In reply to a post by Spacemanc:

It was never resolved to me - same results pingtest results as always, with packet loss only on the Manchester server.

Speedtest Manchester is always all over the place as well. Ping has been 60+ for the last couple of days. Usually around 25. Upload 0.96 everytime all over UK - Manchester usually lower. Download can be anything from 8-11 - everywhere else 11.

Definitely a problem somewhere and pretty much certain its not at my end. Site owner says its not at his end either, so what can you do? Well earlier on today it (Manchester ) was fine no lost ect, but now it's showing packet loss again, so must be down to peering LINX problem or a overloaded transit link

Definitely some thing in between us and server if it is not the server
now it wont even send a ping to it,????Fail!!!

Hi Guys. Been following this with some interest as I often use pingtest.net to test various circuits. Just ran a set of tests at 4 sites (Manchester, Newbury, Maidenhead and Barcelona). Manchester was the only one to show high latency, packet loss and jitter. Even Barcelona didn't show any problems. These tests were run one after another.

Here are the results:

I only usually check a couple of servers (Maidenhead and Manchester) the first is fine but the Manchester server always shows some packet loss and the ping & jitter are usually higher too. I'm with Zen.

I was with Zen (now with Xilo) so can't comment on what it was like with Zen. As for geographical location, I'm in West Sussex near Gatwick so about 200 miles from Manchester.

Hi,i would like to share my ping test results

Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 45ms,Maximum = 45ms,Average = 45ms
and check my ping from here whoisxy

It's been a couple of months since the last post on here and there's still a problem with Manchester, Xilo server. I'm getting a good ping from there, but the speedtest returns the results of 3mbs, and has done for serveral days with me. Any other server gives me 15mbs - 19mbs on their servers, including ones that are in excess of 500 miles away from me.
