Lost http about 30 minutes ago, although Trillian remained connected to ICQ, Yahoo and MSN as I didn't lose sync.

The red patch on the graph, Drummer, was when something fell over and IDNet's website, the forum and mail became unavailable. The pings then time out and produce the red patch. Something similar happened on Sunday from 14:47-15:00.

We think we are making good progress with the latency problem. We're certainly receiving far fewer complaints (which must be a good sign!). One of our VPs is still showing suspiciously few active sessions which indicates that it is not being properly utilised. BT are looking into this for us.

The red patch on Drummers ping plot last night was the aftermath of a fibre cut in Amsterdam which brought down all our peers over there and caused our Redbus core router to recalculate all its paths.

If you want to run a ping plot then our Telehouse nameserver (on 212.69.40.3) is probably a better target as our website has quite a workload and so may give more variable results.

Regards
Simon

Thanks for the update, Simon. I think the world is conspiring against you at the moment.

Simon · Feb 10, 2009, 11:17:33

Or, at least, the Dutch.

David · Feb 10, 2009, 11:42:19

Simon...I will leave it to you,I pinged twice but it proved double Dutch

Thanks again

hellyl · Feb 10, 2009, 12:03:33

Well after posting that my pings have leveled again this morning, started the ping plotter around 11am and they up and down like a yo yo, ping graphs can become a little obsessive I have found

. Hopefully will all be sorted soon.

David · Feb 10, 2009, 18:43:29

I have not a problem my daughters schools computers had problems on the net today so its the exchange works

Steve · Feb 10, 2009, 18:44:11

Might be worth letting support have your graphs then, Steve, because they are very different from mine.

having problems also:

Ping statistics for 212.69.40.3:
Packets: Sent = 117, Received = 116, Lost = 1 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 101ms, Maximum = 189ms, Average = 160ms

in fairness mine are pretty steady, just 5x the normal :-)

edit: just rang my landline from mobile (this drops the sync to exchange still) so router tried sync'ing a few times b4 I hung up, it's sync'ed at almost same speed but now the ping results are:

Ping statistics for 212.69.40.3:

I had reset ADSL line earlier but I didn't powercycle it (nor this time) but it seems to have done something

bbc.co.uk is back to 28ms
jolt.co.uk is 33ms
IDnet.com back to 25ms

all were ~130ms a few minutes earlier
