Northern Ireland (NW/Derry)

Hi,

been with BT now since July 21 with no problems. Speeds are always maxed out and latency is 13-15ms.

I was wondering if there anyone in N.Ireland (Pref NW) - who could ping and tracert to bbc.co.uk to compare as I'm thinking of moving for price reasons

Here's one from the outskirts of Coleraine...

Think that's to Manchester, not London.

Ah manchester would make sense.

Having looked into it, does seem to exit in Manchester (with the hop before showing as Huddersfield)

then you've to add the latency to get to London - https://wondernetwork.com/pings/London/Manchester

City Distance min
London to Belfast United Kingdom, Eurasia 518km 13.89ms

Can you try 8,8,8,8 or 1.1.1.1 ?

Comparison from my BT connection in Derry to London:
