1) BT are routing your connection via Manchester or further north to get to the east of London where the Plusnet BT Centrals are located
2) Your connection has interleaving turned on.
I've seen reports of some pretty strange routing in the past - but enough to add 25ms? Somehow I don't think so! Given all the other evidence I'd lay any money on the second option.
James, do any of the diagnostics you can run report the interleaving level or anything which could be used as evidence?

I think you've made a very good point about Ilford/Manchester though. I think it's worth revisiting once BT have fixed the issues that they're currently experiencing there.
The line appears to have interleaving turned off.

However the performance (for that read 'facts') seem to say otherwise!
Edit: James you know where I am, and this is with Interleaving on !

Quote Nope, I can see if interleaving is turned on, off or to auto.
There was an order placed in March (which completed) to have interleaving set to off.
Line tests also indicate that interleaving is turned off.

Going back to my original post, this line has a history of the data on tests not reflecting the hardware reality so I find it hard to believe the reports for this line.
I'm still amazed that when the line was set up, one part of the ADSL infrastructure capped my line at 576/256 sync while another part did MAX training at those sync rates and reported a dslMAX line even though BT speed-test and the modem reported a non-adaptive rate line. I think this problem goes back to that original error and presumably a corrupt record.
All the evidence except the reports points firmly to Interleaving being on. Is there perhaps a way of going back to scratch and re-generating the BT record as if for a brand-new install?

I offered to turn interleaving on and then off again. Would be interesting to see if you noticed an increase in latency when it "goes back" to on again.

Sorry missed that - got distracted by the day job.
Yes, let's try toggling it and see what happens. Will I see order go through in My Questions so I can see when to look at latency again?
Hope it doesn't get worse!

Modem shows FAST this morning and bbc.co.uk pings are down to average 12ms
So that answers the question of whether or not it was previously interleaved. Now I wonder what does the BT report show? Could you have a look James?

If your exchange is 21CN enabled would you go for the trial? Given your stats you should get around 20Mbps, but considering the scope that would give BT for messing things up...
But just a moment... Your line is doing the opposite to what is expected, perhaps you should ask for a downgrade to a 256Kbps fixed rate service, you might end up with a faster speed than they get in Japan.

BT are showing the line as having interleaving turned on on the ordfer system.
Go figure.

Would certainly go for the trial if I could. I'm not particularly close to the current exchange but it just shows what making good cups of tea for Openreach will do. And it probably helps that I live in the old village Post Office which many moons ago had a proper little old lady exchange in it and with a big GPO trunk access panel out front
I guess its time to leave it alone on the "if it ain't broke..." principle.
