Failure is the Key to Success

Our internet connection has been extremely intermittant this evening.

Pinging the next VirginMedia router on our route out has given awful results all evening. You get a batch of low latency 7ms pings then it goes up into the 200ms and 300ms. Then you get a time out, or maybe 5 minutes of time outs. Then it comes back and you start all over again.

Checking on the service status page, I see issues with TV/Internet all over their network this evening. I hope they hurry up and get this fixed because it’s a nightmare to surf when the connection drops between pages.
