Hello,
I'm suffering from really high pings and it's making online gaming difficult. I'm new to this service and voda so if anyone could advise what is happening that would be appreciated please.
Here's my trace route to bbc and it looks like I am connected to my local DC (Leeds) but the pings to it are really high.
Tracing route to gtm-live.pri.bbc.co.uk [212.58.236.1]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Thanks (in advance) for taking a look.

I think I'll be cancelling tomorrow and either trying another provider on City Fibre or seeing if Virgin want to make me an offer to stay with them.
Having looked into it, as was said in this thread, a lot of people having the same experience as us - weeks and weeks of it being great and then this. Support are of no use. Even in the bad days of Virgin Media, you could always escalate things and speak to a really expert but it seems Voda aren't bothered.

Don't know about the rest of you but for me tonight it's going to be a cold beer and some Old School RuneScape 🍻

All has returned to normal here too. It did surprise me too that it went off completely last night, but perhaps that's what it was, someone had actually fixed it then.

Well credit where credits due, it looks like they’ve listened to everyone and fixed the issue. Thanks to all those that raised the issue the support etc.
