Before I joined the hook last night I ran a trace through hlsw for no real reason other than I could, & I noticed that I'm apparently being routed through Frankfurt & Amsterdam, our server seems to be the only one that I'm getting this random routing with, any ideas why? traces (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/martin.reed8/ping.JPG)
Because NTLs peering is ass.
Ring 'em tell them, they will get scared because they won't understand you.
They need to sort out their peering arrangements with the other ISPs. May be a temporary thing though......keep trying it.
AOL were doing similar for some unknown reason IIRC
