I cant take this any more, i had around a 600 ping this morning so gave in and went out. I've just come back and its still the same. Seriously there must be something that can be done about this, certain things are just impossible whilst its like this.
It cant be congestion because i'm noticing it happening at all hours now, both early morning when everyone is out and late evening when everyone is home. I can only describe it as lag spikes which happen every 15 minutes or so and can last from anything to 5 minutes to a couple of hours.
Am i on the right track with pathping or do you prefer tracert for diagnosing this?
Here is a tracert from just now, i've also been running a mtr from 9pm so i'll post the results of that when its been running a while longer.
