I didn't really notice the latency issue or packet loss (didn't really tested tho altho at one stage I do remember getting packet loss when I was pinging due to connection problems but my connection died soon after that I believe). But I am/was also getting frequent PPP drop-outs (and then sometimes unable to re-connect for at least an hour). I'm not sure if it's fixed itself on Sunday since I thought it occurred yesterday but according to the Ihug MOTD there was an identified problem yesterday so perhaps they're unrelated. ATM/DSL stays connected. It hasn't reoccurred since yesterday so far.

I had thought it may be modem related as at least once it had been disconnected for an hour but after restarting my modem it reconnected but I'm not that certain, it may have been a co-incidence (especially in light of your problems above). I have an M1122 but it's in PPPoA tunneling mode with a m0n0wall firewall making the PPP connection via PPtP and so I can tell from my firewall logs that it was trying to restablish connection.

I'm also on UBS but Ihug not Maxnet and in West Auckland (phone number 83xxxxx)
