level3 routing sick again to USA?

[#1]

Currently getting 2-7% loss with the 2nd last hop in London, occasionally it spikes too 30-50% so night mare for gaming on USA servers at the moment.

Well, depending on which gateway you're on, it might not go via Level 3:

@Gus
Could you post the results of a traceroute too please?

[#4]

Looked to be level3 caught it by 8pm as it cleared up after that, but if you need the trace for the different routing that has been happening for months now depending on which gateway I am on

[#5]

Not using OpenDNS are you Gus?

[#6]

On my router no, it will only use the default servers 212.159.6.9/10, another reason why not to buy Buffalo brand

Quote from: Gus

On my router no...

And what about the network adapter of the machine you were tracing from?
If you run an nslookup from a command line then what server address is being used?

Bob>nslookup ntp.plus.net
Server:  cdns02.plus.net
Address:  212.159.6.10 <--- What address do you have here?
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    ntp.plus.net
Addresses:  212.159.6.10
          212.159.13.50
          212.159.6.9
          212.159.13.49

If that's set to an OpenDNS address then the addresses your router has acquired are irrelevant.

212.159.6.9, as to the routing its different depending on which gateway I am connected to.  It is either BT or level3.
