what happened 2:30 to 3:30 today

[#1]

all the other ping graphs showing the same dropouts this afternoon; what's going on?

[#2]

I have the same on my graph as well have no idea what has caused it either, connection is still up and running so it didn't cause a drop, looks all ok now though 
here's my TBB graph

The packet loss can be seen on TBB graphs on the Virgin Network so it looks to be a TBB Monitor issue - nothing to worry about though as it seems to be working fine now

Same here big red packet drops

Thanks jelv. There really are some very sad people in the world. Do they get a thrill out of something like this? They must live very shallow lives.
