While I am not surprised to see Level3 dropping packets, I am completely shocked at the fact it is taking 16 hops to get out of London. That is just ridiculous.
It takes you 4,5 hours to circumvent it in a big truck on M25 at night!
It's huge! by EU standards
Probably they put IT infra straight next to it
My PP does not look much better by the way, coming from Amsterdam, circling London and then over the big splash....
