Incredibly slow internet tonight

[klipp]

Pings show 50% packet loss.  Could this be a return of the dreaded Peterborough node? :-/

[psp83]

I'm getting slow websites.. but some load normal 

[psp83]

also anything within IDnet is normal!

yup same here, painfully slow and massive packet loss. cant search in google. nor get to the test page in Either BT or Speedtest.net.

[Rapier Racer]

Pings are normal here, however browsing had become PAINFULLY slow, I'm talking 30 seconds to load igoogle!!!

[Steve]

Glad its not just me,its very sporadic I agree igoogle is painfully slow

[klipp]

Thanks guys, I won't bother hitting my router just yet.

[psp83]

Someone put 50p in the elec please!

[nazuk]

Although the internet is generally slower than normal, it appears that google search, igoogle, and gmail are crawling and virtually unloadable.  Can't / not able to - really do a comprehensive test on many other sites due to the general sluggishness.

[Steve]

Its a LINX routing issue which will affect many ISPs according to AAISP

[klipp]

Is it affecting all metronodes or just Peterborough?

[klipp]

Thanks Steve.  At least BT are now aware.

Hi,

I'm seeing the same here (in Hampshire so it's not just Peterborough ). It doesn't seem to be uniform though. Some sites are fine whilst others are treacle. Seems to be sites in the US suffering worst for me.

Cheers,
Paul.

[Steve]

Its everyone, I'm adslmax so not a Peterborough issue

[psp83]

seems to be ok now for me!

[nazuk]

Further update with my setup.  Just pulled off the router ethernet cable from the back of my Mac, and connected with my mifi router (mobile network) - and for the first time in the past hour, I am now able to access igoogle, google search, and gmail, wheres previously I could not do that.  Tried a few sites, although slightly sluggish, it appears to all work with my mifi.

[Rapier Racer]

I'm near Edinburgh, it seems to be getting worse tbh.

[mankatron2009]

Oxford here and very slow in the last hour or so yet when running the speedtest app over my iPhone (using wifi of course) my speed is fine.

[mrapoc]

Add me to the list

[Simon]

Seems OK here in Sussex now.

Went to watch some stuff on YouTube, totally impossible to play more than a couple of seconds, and even searching is taking a while.
Google is taking a while to load up, too.

My own website (which has MP3s that can be played via a Flash player on the page) is transferring fine, the rest of my site also moves around nice and fast.

Facebook and Twitter, I'm having varying results with.

I'm in West Berkshire.

Here's a traceroute to YouTube (I gave up after 11 hops):

Thoughput is fine, pings are fine but half of the www is lost to me i.e. completely unresponsive. As this is clearly country wide (London here), Steve's information would seem to be spot on  

[GizmoTheMogwai]

Apparently i'm getting my normal speed according to speedtest.net, but many websites tonight are slow and unresponsive. 

[psp83]

Think its time to get an early night and hope its fixed in the morning ( I have a deadline to meet! )

[EvilPC]

Very slow to some sites.. other are fine.

someone seems to have stolen google from me
