My graphs flat-line throughout the period, and are on ptn-ag03. Downstream spec is the same (8128 without interleaving), but vanilla upstream rate at 448.
However, my last re-connection was on the 11th April, when I too saw a shift in latency. Much smaller than yours, but noticeable.
That graph shows a swap from pcl-ag7 to ptn-ag03.

Attached graph shows how successful this was!

So how do you explain this?

Any idea of the IP that the pings come from?

- Pinging the actual gateway gives more variation from ping to ping than pinging something beyond with a short directly peered route eg bbc.co.uk. I put this down to ICMP ping packets being a low priority task for a router and the gateways are busy passing traffic.
- When on ADSL- Max I had a solid 8-9ms to bbc.co.uk
- Now I've migrated to ADSL +2 its anything between 12ms and 22ms (consistent ping to ping, variation is day to day). Checking with ping to PlusNet gateway confirms bbc.co.uk is a reliable ping return destination.
NB. My router says 'fastpath' both for ADSL MAx and ADSL +2.
I think that ADSL +2 may not be such a consistent perfomer for latency. Given there is a marginal synch increase in my case (from ~7Mbps to ~8Mbps) I wonder if ADSL-MAX may be better. Can you have upstream un-capped for > 443kbps upstream on MAX?

The latency has stayed at it's normal 12-14ms level since dropping back on Wednesday morning.
