Not to mention the issues with SEA-ME-WE 4 (SMW4) on 27th March. http://www.telegeography.com/products/commsupdate/articles/2013/03/28/seamew e-4-damage-hampers-internet-access-in-region/
Reports suggests EIG (Europe-India Gateway) and IMEWE (India-Middle-East-Western-Europe) were in 'maintenance mode'. Very fishy.. ;-) Cheers, Matt -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neil J.

About 4 weeks ago our inter office latency doubled to approximately 750ms.

Now the UK is bouncing from London -> Egypt -> Mumbai. This is almost normal but I'm still averaging about 100ms higher latency than normal (I could get under 250ms on a good day but more usually it was about 300ms). > > At about the same time the return route from India changed completely (its now going Mumbai -> Chennai -> Singapore -> Tokyo -> Palo Alto -> New York -> London). > > I'm fairly convinced its a BSNL issue but they're doing the usual telco thing of "it must be your fault."
