Hi Guys,
Just got back to my parents house and loaded up css. I am getting pings of around 70ms plus. I did a tracert route and it looks like its down to the last result (green berry). I asked lee to do a tracert and he kindly did so and go the same result. Any ideas whats up? Both of us are on Virgin Media.
Thanks,
GM

yup, ashe is the webserver. You may have been running the traces when she was doing her nightly backups, they are timed so they shouldn't impact on performance but some night owls especially like to browse when the backups are occuring!
Hi guys thanks for the replies.
I have been having a looksie again at pingplotting/ cmd tracert plots and they are today pretty high in the telehouse areas with the plain east core causing my pings to be higher than normal.
They might be doing a backup i suppose but my pings on boomer were 60ms~80ms. All other parts of the plot showing up fine.
Is this our domain or is it outside the centre?
Also the last boomer hop is pretty high too.
Thanks for the help,
GM

Trace complete.I have a feeling that there is some sort of optimisation issue at Virgin Media. They probably wouldn't even consider it a 'problem' either.
Just wondering if anyone out there has successfully got Virgin to give them a shorter route to the internet? I know it has been possible in the past and with specific ISP's but don't know about Virgin.

telehouse and enta tend to be where the core London routers are. Its almost impossible to avoid them.
If the core routers are heavily loaded then it is not a virgin media problem although they may wish to point it out to telehouse/enta on your behalf. being VM customer myself I know that this will happen shortly after hell freezes over.
Another possibility is that the routers have the ping response priority set to a low value so that they give higher priority to real traffic than they do to ping requests - good for traffic but makes troubleshooting a problem.
dont know if this will be any help as its a totally different route:

Thanks for the replies. It looks like their may be a fault at telehouses end as its still keeping high pings to boomer and the forum. Can someone raise a support ticket about this?

No we cant. We have no more of a contract with Telehouse than you do. If you have high pings to Boomer through your connection then you need to raise a ticket with your ISP and get them to sort it with telehouse.
Sorry but that's the way it works, they would just ignore us.
