Anyone else been experiencing high latency over the past few days during peak hours?

I must say since IDnet had the new pipeline installed a few month ago my connection has been pretty much flawless.  For the past few days though I have been experiencing high latency during peak hours.

Is this the same for most on IDnet? 

Thanks,

I'm seeing consistent pings in the 21-24ms range for both IDNet and the BBC. This is with interleaving on.

I'd suggest using the -n switch and run 10-20 pings to each, then cut'n'paste the results in an email to support. They can then have a look for you.

Whats the "-n switch"?

ping -n 10 www.bbc.co.uk

If you use ping <URL> -n X, where X is an integer, it will ping the site that number of times before reporting, eg

ping www.bbc.net.uk -n 10
