Higher pings for no reason

Normal on Pulse8 (using TTB) i get a regular 36-38ms ping interleaving on. Noticed tonight that has jumped to 42-44ms for no reason. Speed tests are fine both download and upload so i know nothing is trying to use the connection (tested anyway by removing as many devices as possible from it).

Not sure why pings will have gone up alittle for no reason although doesnt seem to be from within TT

FTTC or ADSL2+?

ADSL 2+ no disconnects at all. Weirdly the thinkbroadband BQM (ive only just set it off running) shows normal pings, as do all pingtest websites. Just seems its command prompt that is showing higher than normal

Looks like nothing to do with the local broadband connection but something from hop 7 and hop 9 in the trace routes

Could be just some routes to sites on the Internet are affected

Are 7-9 outside of the Talk talk network can you tell?

Yes they are... and it goes from London to Amsterdam hence the increase in latency on that route specifically.

I use openDNS and notice they did some work today on the London server, although its cleared now but wonder if that could be a reason as i would be redirected to a DNS server overseas

Might not be advertising the route to all their peers in London/UK... or that route may be the best for Talk Talk (as far as BGP is concerned).
