Bad Pings - Traceroute...

Hi All,

Does anyone know what this means? I have really bad pings between 5pm and 11pm Every night Monday to Thursday, I have just done this traceroute and below are my results. My download speed is fine likewise with my upload speed.

traceroute to 212.58.253.68 (212.58.253.68), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

Thanks.

It probably means the end node isn't responding to pings. See if your version of traceroute has a -I or similar option to use ICMP echo style pings.

It means you're in the Czech Republic

212.58.253.68 is the BBC homepage, but does look as if the OP is being routed via Prague (Praha) Czech Republic; no idea why

Possibly because he is on a CZ ISP?

Very logical !!

Because the post is in this forum, I 'assumed' she/he was UK based.

But....as the saying goes; ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME

Should know better by now.

Tells me it slows down once you hand off to the BBC's peer - but nothing 'bad' about those times.

Tell's me the last node won't reply to udp probe - as others have said try trace route using ICMP.

Looks OK to me.

I am in the UK and Orange is My ISP...........

You are ?!

What is your WAN IP then - something is wrong...

So what are the hops at the start then ??

gives the impression of a vpn to a hosting/cloud & then out from there
