My TBB v6 address and PN v6 addresses match.
I am going to try a bit of gateway hopping, currently on pcl-ag06.

My TBB IPv6 graph remained red throughout.
test-ipv6.com - 10/10: pcl-ag06, pcl-ag07, ptn-ag02, ptw-ag01
test-ipv6.com - 0/10: pcl-bng03, pcl-bng04, ptw-bng02

The ping loss is not down to an incorrect address. It is down to not being allocated one. I earlier gave two examples of IPv6 addresses that work with the BQM. I have many more.

Currently "You are currently connected to gateway pcl-ag06"
Current IPv6 BQM.
BQM set up ending in "fe33:c0a8"
Current IP address ends "fa19:9555"
So that's all hunky-dory at the moment except for the latency. Even that doesn't bother me too much as long as it doesn't translate into multi-secon page loads. At the moment, on a test of half a dozen, all OK.
@Pete - I think you may have the BQM set of for an incorrect address, as has been suggested for me. We know bngs don't work, but my problem was with any gateway. Next time I get a gateway change for some reason I shall see what happens. To check your current IP address try this link and set up a ping monitor on that. As long as you aren't on a bgn. Because the first 4 groups don't change a BQM should continue working when the last four change.

I checked the IPv6 address of my router by telneting into it and running ifconfig. The IPv6 address it gave me agrees with the address being monitored by the BQM.
I have set up a BQM as advised, it is also red.
I think that something at the Plusnet end was altered at 00:55 30 Jan 2015. It needs a member of staff to comment.
My speeds from http://ipv6-test.com/speedtest are: IPv4 53.8 Mbit/s :), IPv6 715 Kbit/s

My PPP session has been up for 12 days tho, so I wonder if this only affects new ppp sessions.
Also I have occasionally in the past had really bad ipv6 speeds (and more recently also ipv4) which always got fixed by hopping gateways.

By the way check my ipv6 tbb graph in sig, it has peak time packetloss (not present on ipv4 graph). So I am amazed I managed that speedtest result.

Has anyone else done a PPP reconnection since Saturday and had (or not had) the same issue?

I assume you mean IPSC? The thought I was having shouldn't be effected by IPSC/WBC.

Hi Paul,
Quote from: paulmh5 Has anyone else done a PPP reconnection since Saturday and had (or not had) the same issue?
Everything running well at the moment since I got onto pcl-ag06 on Tuesday except the latency shown on my BQM is poor. My norm is 12-14ms. (I have 19 logged changes of the form:-
03/02/15 13:30 pcl-ag06 (at last). 20ms but snappy.
31/01/15 12:30 ptn-ag01 12ms (V laggy)
20/01/15 13:30 ptn-ag04 12ms
20/01/15 00:30 pcl-bng03 15ms).
Browsing is snappy however, so I'm not going to mess for now. Other things to worry about :).
