Minimum latency increased -- why?

I've noticed that the minimum latency for my line jumped up yesterday -- it can be seen in the snapshot here: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/54ce310452435d9feee4ed99acad30d0-23-09-2015.html
I was wondering if there is anything which can be done to drop it back down again?

Either DLM has intervened due to line issues and activated latency or perhaps you've switched to an underperforming gateway. If it's the latter then logging out/in might put you on a better gateway. I suspect it's more likely to be interleaving though and there's nothing you can do about that except wait to see if your line quality improves again.

Re: Minimum latency increased -- why?

That looks like the kind of jump that would be caused by DLM applying interleaving (delay 7 or 8 ms) on either upstream or downstream, usually due to high error rates.
Sometimes it will revert after days/weeks/months.
Underperforming gateways or pouting usually causes significanly smaller jumps.
