My graph shows an increase in latency beween around 8 and 10.

Yesterday's graph here
A lot of the times when I've enquired about the little peak time lift in maximum ping, it's usually correlated with people doing stuff. Chris's one, for example:
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/7fdfad64e8f... is usually pretty clear during the day and then has a jump whenever he's downloading games from Steam. I've verified via questioning over Steam as it happens
I can't say that's the same for all the peaks, but a lot of the time I've talked to people, they've been doing something substantial and that's when you see the ping lift. I'm thinking their routers are busy shifting bits, rather than responding immediately to pings. (They tend to worry about routing first as I understand it)
Obviously, if your exchange is congested, or our equipment is congested, you'd see something similar though!
It's been like this from Jan 9th onwards. Jan 8th was the day that Plusnet had some routing issues between 12:00 and 14:00 and then I had a strange increase in latency around 20:00 to 22:30 (when I rebooted my router). This latency issue was also shown on another users ADSL monitor and reported on community.plus.net
Right, so your graph on the 9th is VERY interesting. The huge spike at the end of the day looks like the problem I mentioned above where we have a piece of kit misbehaving. Now, the first time I saw that was on the 13th, so it's really interesting that you've seen something like it before then. Totally missed that. The messy bit earlier than that, I'm not sure about. I'll check our maintenance reports and see if BT were up to something, or i we wer doing something on Monday.
I'm currently on ptn-ag02 but I was on pcl-ag02 after the reboot on the 8th - Not sure when I moved again.
Hope this helps?
I'll be able to check that when I'm back in the office (or if I get motivated enough to get our from under this pizza and get my VPN fob...)
Oh, can we get your graph added to our page?
