Set up one of these . That's the one in my sig. (The regular spikes have been traced to something to do with the wifi system in the router. Nothing to worry about).

If you put the live link in your sig, like mine, we and you can easily see how it is behaving. If you look at this page, most are normal, a few heavily used, and a few showing Plusnet issues by having the same pattern as others.

Good to see your migration to AAISP went ok then

Came here to check about the pings as its headed into the 4th week of the transfer now and they are still as high as day one, in same cases, higher. Remember reading a post somewhere that it was aiming to be fixed within 2 weeks and it was out of the hands of timico themselves.

that is indeed odd behaviour, bbc dont block icmp so the tracert should finish.

note I have the annoyance of intermediate hops blocking the trace but it does complete.

In reply to a post by Chrysalis:

That reminded me... my traceroute was done on OSX and that does UDP traces by default. If I force it to use ICMP the trace does complete:

How do you manage to get a ping as low as 8ms? You live next to the BBC

When I was with Plusnet it was around 12ms, it's only been that low since I moved to TalkTalk. I'm just outside Folkestone, so about 60 miles from the BBC

Oh [censored]!
I left Coms in January - and now I've just had an invoice from the new Coms/Timico conglomeration for a £53.71 "Service charge"...

Thanks guys...
