Has anyone done traceroutes to check where the latency is coming from?

I've heard rumours and whispers of a bunch of exchange gear falling over in
DSLAMs across AKL (and possibly nationwide). When one falls over load is
rebalanced across the remaining gear.. which could possibly explain load
related lag/shitty performance (ie, fine @ 3am, shit during business
hours/after work etc)

IF it is that you would probably see the increased latency right from your 1st
or 2nd hop after your router. If it is a cable issue later down the track
you'd probably only notice it much further down, around or past global gateway
(if you're an xtra customer).

But as I said those are 2nd in some cases 3rd hand rumours, so it could be all
lies.
