A few on thinkboredbands forums including a staff member (shock of shock) seem to want to try and basically put the opinion forward that its happening because a router has better things to do than respond to ICMP requests. Even if that is what specific equipment has been set up to do.
Id spose that argument could make sense if the sudden blip in latency wasn't happen at very specific peak times each evening rather than randomly. I spose if you ask them its just specific times it has better things to do
Its clear there is an issue, whether its BE at fault, LINX or something else is perhaps a matter for debate, a pointless debate though as its BE who choose who they peer with.
Whatever it is the service has peak time issues, whether everyone experiences a problem is another matter but either way you cut it the product has a charted issue (well actually it has a lot of issues but no point dragging this OT again).
Reporting it to BE as with every BE issue is pointless, at most you get a flim flam response.
