Shocking packet loss - is anyone else experiencing this?

See the attached ping plotter graphic. This is from exchange 01766 to our website this afternoon, but the internet in general is becoming unusable. Where do i start trying to cure this?

No packet loss from here. 12-14 ms round trip time.

The first concern that your graph shows me is the 700ms to the .in-addr. btopenworld.com node. That should be down in te 8-10ms time frame. That could be partially the cause. What setting do you have in PingPlotter for "Time to wait for Ping replies"?

First find out why yoyu are so slow accessing the outside world and then run PingPlotter again.
