Is something broken?!

Bad latency occuring right from first hop in Zen network so problem could lie well within the "BT" side of things.. Have you tried a disconnect and reconnect? Have you tried a speedtest to check speed is OK too?

Edit: Above was regards extreme latency.... looked again at your traceroute, as for routing you may be onto something!

Edited again, bad wording on my part.

There is latency on your ADSL circuit which is likely congestion on your circuit or possibly the local exchange.

The traceroute looks fine - jolt.co.uk is hosted on the Amazon EC2 network and Amazon block ICMP by default on the EC2 firewall.

Haha, I must be showing how stuck in the past I am, I thought jolt was hosted in the UK? The traceroute is showing things going to New York City (I think). I was reading two seperate issues from the OP.

Lo and behold, all is well(ish) again. I guess it was a BT thing. I wish Zen would unbundle my exchange. Next month TalkTalk (ewww) will be, so that's an option.

Their gaming servers probably are, but why keep the website with the game servers? The two don't need to be together!

A very valid point, I was surprised when I saw the traceroute going outside the UK because about 5-6 years ago it was the model traceroute people would perform, I haven't kept up to date with that clearly!
