Quote from: Bob Have raised an internal problem so we can get some investigation underway (ref: 58439).
Not convinced it's a DNS issue especially in light of Steve's comments and some of the traceroute which seem to be timing out at the hop where the traffic management switches are. We did a quick health check on these yesterday and couldn't spot anything glaringly obvious but I guess we may have missed something.
There seems to be a few too many reports of problems here for something not to be wrong

Quote from: Barry Interim high pings, which are followed by low pings are not *usually* a cause for concern - it means that the router is doing 'more important' things than responding to pings (like routing traffic).
When doing a tracert, if there is a router where pings elevate substantially, and all following pings are also high then that may indicate a problem.
That being said, it does seem like your pings are not stable, and the fingers are pointing to backhaul contention. It seems like you are on ADSL and *may* benefit from ADSL2+ (the backhauls are different) so perhaps that is an option?
B.
Well for most people this wouldn't be a concern, most people wouldn't even notice. But being a gamer any flux in ping time is noticed by me and when it's as bad as it currently is it makes gaming a nightmare.
ADSL2+ is not avaible here and according to BT it won't be installed at my exchange until Q4 2011....

Can you set off a constant ping? (I can't remember the exact command but someone else here will).
I'd like to see if you're actually dropping packets.

ping -t <hostname / ip address>
You'll need to press CTRL-C to end the pinging-spree that ensues!

I'm shocked how bad plus.net is. You claim gaming traffic is prioritsed....low ping ect ect....all lies....you can't even provide a stable ping let alone a low one. I don't care where the problem lies, I pay plus.net my hard earned money so I expect plus.net to fix the problem.
No doubt I'm stuck in a 18 month contract. So carry on taking my money and provide me with a sub-standard connection.
Thanks.
