Ah right, yea its pretty good get the benefits of an LLU connection without actually being on Talk talk who by all accounts are terrible.

lol, yeah I'd rather eat my own feet than use Talk Talk....

I was streaming iplayer last night during the packetloss and never noticed anything

Tested from around 11pm to 9am last night and still seeing some loss despite the testing of throttling.

Mine look identical pretty much. Got the big spike at 1am (assume when they throttle ended it spiked the network) but its better than before the throttle started. Browsing was fine all night

Getting loads of packetloss now. Whats changed? Been good last few days and throttling still in place

Looks like it's ICMP traffic disappearing. HTTP seems fine... speedtests are fine... Odd.

Major difficulty pinging myself both ways. Sounds dirty... *Cough* Maybe their traffic management has gone berserk.

Your logs showing the same? It did seem slow for me for awhile, but you saying its not actually packetloss, just the ICMP requests arent getting through?

Edit: Must be packetloss iplayer wont work

Yep.

TCP should retransmit any lost packets. Pings are being lost around 85% of the time. If that was true for all traffic, I wouldn't be able to speedtest anywhere near 6mbits. ICMP is usually the lowest priority anyway so it would be the first to suffer when things are going wrong. That's not to say it's just ICMP though. There's probably packetloss to a less degree on other things.

Well there is something there, browsing randomly goes slow, streaming wont work etc

Edit: Seems iplayer is broke. Sods law it happens when i use it to test my connection. Still browsing is dodgy
