Plusnet - New Network
Have I been moved to the new network - nothing in closed tickets but there was a drop in PPP last night
Tracing route to bbc.co.uk [212.58.244.22]and my ping increased significantly
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms home.gateway.home.gateway [192.168.1.254]
2 15 ms 15 ms 15 ms lo0.14.central14.ptw-bng01.plus.net [195.166.128.174]

Doesn't look like it - I'd expect to see extra hops between you and the gateway.
As always Kitz has the answer:

atm by doing a tracert.
If you are on dedicated then you will see a hop with a private IP eg 172.17.xx
From the tracerts Ive seen, the interconnect routers arent configured to respond to ICMP ping so it doesnt give anything away about location.
The private IPs indicate Plusnets network, whether or not in time they allocate public IPs which could make the locations more visible (as BTretail/consumer do) I dont know. 😕
Example:
Also it looks like the gateway checker may have been enhanced:

Quote from: buseng12 Slight more info, this is my gateway.
You are currently connected to gateway pcn-ar01.
This is located in Colindale Point of Presence
Quote from: Bob ...but bear in mind it won't be obvious to everybody when they've been moved i.e. you won't all see traceroutes like that ^

Quote from: jafreer Bob - is there a way to tell when one is moved onto the new network?
It will be fairly simple for some to tell because they'll see the routing change in outbound traceroutes. Not everybody will though, and for those folk the best clues you're likely to get are from checking the service notices/tickets on your account. (I /think/ that's still possible to do?). Other option is to ask a member of staff, but I strongly advise against that as it will detract from more important issues that need attending to - especially when our support folk are so busy.
