Anyone know what just happened?

Just had a 5 minute (ish) period where we had next to no bandwidth, added to a 300ms ~ ping.
Had a look on the ping graphs (http://community.plus.net/ping-graphs/) to verify it was some strange goings on restricted to me only, but there are multiple graphs that show it. (You'll know it when you see it)
Can anyone explain?

EDIT: It's happening again right now,

Re: Anyone know what just happened?

At least I have my iPlayer downloads done overnight Smiley
Also, there's some pretty nasty (1k+) latency showing here in the 21CN Gold Plated and lower queues...
Me thinks it's either BT meddling or the changes PN made for the Apple announcement last week are causing havoc somewhere along the line?

Me too, trying to play BF3 and every server I join I am just running on the spot with a orange connection symbol.

Re: Anyone know what just happened?

We had a gateway SRP swap early this morning, meaning some of the gateways had a few too many sessions on.  Could be too many customers on some of them.  I'm just talking to CSC peeps at the moment and it is really quiet, no complaints calls 😕

Re: Anyone know what just happened?

Something wierd is happening, my Mum had 2 phone calls while I was there and both times when my Mum answered the line went dead, when she did 1471 it was my sister (both with BT). I got home and rang my Mum and it said this phone is out of service, I rang again and it rang off. My Mum phoned me back and said she answered both times ?

Re: Anyone know what just happened?

I'm on the same not same gateway as OldJim, and my ping graph isn't showing a quite as large increase.
Edit: oops, Telehouse North not West. ag03

Re: Anyone know what just happened?

You've got some packet loss on there. Is that normal for your connection?

Re: Anyone know what just happened?

I'm still seeing spikes, its not over yet. plus this was happening on all gateways. Yes the one that tends to have the lower ping was the worst but all of them have been playing up for me today tonight (17/9/2012). I tryed all the gateways I couldn't find one that was stable but they all had high/spikes in latency.
Didnt see much change in download speed. I have the pro addon thou.

That sounds like a problem with the phone rather than latency on the broadband.

Re: Anyone know what just happened?

True Chris, I just wanted to say that, and where I lived incase it was BT messing with the service around this area. Not knowing where anyone else here comes from I wanted to see if it was a BT localised problem and not PN.  Cool
