SPKmes, it appears you have found backbone hell.  The data is nice, but isn't full.

Download Ping Plotter(free for 30 days) and run it.  If you save it to a log, either post the log or send it to me.  Ping 206.16.60.38 and something like pingplotter.com or altavista.com, so we can see the comparison.  Here in New Hampshire, USA, the attens.net seems to overload very often.  I've been working on trying to find a proxy workaround, but that adds difficulties of it's own.

The data is satisfactory.  Looks like the issue is within your ISP's backbone at the gateway to the U.S.  It looks a bit odd.  Possibly a router flap.  Maybe some maintenance.  Worth asking your ISP about for sure.

Just remember, you can only see 1/2 of the data.  As the routes are gauranteed to be asynchronous, I have to run the return trip to get that data.  In this case, the problem(s) showed up in the same gateways.

Thanks for your replies. About an hour after I posted I was able login with no issues. I will be check this next week. If it happens again I will just have to go there and weld that damn gate open since they won't listen to me and pin it back to stop it flapping in the breeze.
