Routing issues on ptn-bng01?

Hi,
I've been having issues for a number of days which I finally managed to troubleshoot on Friday to ensure they weren't local. Plusnet still haven't responded to the ticket from 36hrs ago so I thought I'd look for similar issues in the forums.
I'm having total failures in reaching CDNs (Akamai, often Amazon) which means that websites are either timing out or partially loading. I would try with a different IP but reconnecting never gives a different on, so could anyone help?
If you're on ptn-bng01 could you share a few traceroutes to www.tesco.com , news.bbcimg.co.uk, www.netflix.com .

Bit more info: My traceroutes to these sites never get past the next plus.net server after the gateway (see below). It's not an individual machine, router, DNS or other local issue.

No problems with the first 2, netflix takes a while though then times out:

I have noticed that my ping has gone up to 50ms on this gateway though.

Re: Routing issues on ptn-bng01?

I noticed today that trying to load http://labs.adobe.com ending up sitting around waiting indefinitely for wwwimages.adobe.com
The trouble with the traceroutes to those akamai addresses is that there are multiple routes / destinations, so the traceroute displays a composite of any or all of the different routes:

Re: Routing issues on ptn-bng01?

Thanks Both,
As ejs says, it's hard to troubleshoot CDNs so this really helps.
Ideally I'd like to move to a different gateway & IP but no amount of time between reconnecting has done this!
Annoying to have to wait for Plusnet to respond to tickets after 48hrs+ too
Oh well. At least the streaming from Netflix is ok Wink

Re: Routing issues on ptn-bng01?

Are you logged in with username@plusdsl.net? There was a user before with similar issues and he was using @plus.net as the login I think.

Re: Routing issues on ptn-bng01?

The issue with wwwimages.adobe.com on labs.adobe.com is presumably some Firefox issue, or something weird, because WebKitGTK+ MiniBrowser doesn't have the same problem, but MiniBrowser isn't even loading the images from the same URLs.
WebKitGTK+ MiniBrowser requests images such as:
GET /technologies/acrobat/images/acrobat_appicon_30x30.jpg HTTP/1.1
Host: labs.adobe.com
Firefox is trying to do this first:
GET /labs.adobe.com/cdn/technologies/acrobat/images/acrobat_appicon_30x30.jpg HTTP/1.1
Host: wwwimages.adobe.com
Edit to add:
$ wget http://wwwimages.adobe.com/labs.adobe.com/cdn/technologies/acrobat/images/acrobat_appicon_30x30.jpg
