As you can see there seems to be a problem with the outbound router from our server :sad:
Traceroutes in to the server show high pings in London but not at the server router whereas traces out seem to indicate a problem with the router.
Here is pingplotter trace taken at same time and you will see that inbound to the server is fine apart from the appalling ping spikes in the London area.

Hi-V router has been fine recently. Cheers Antho.
However, getting through London has been a nightmare (ignore the 100% PL inside Virgin Media network, main switches set not to respond to traceroutes or pings):
