Been getting high latency to Australian servers this afternoon, here are some traceroutes. First is to on.net (internode) second is to vodafone.com.au. On VF cable in Wellington.

Cool, I have learnt something today, cheers

My download speed is usually 13-15mb and ping is not great either, must be busy tonight.

I've raised this with the right folks who're having a look into it. As always, worth getting tickets logged, as the more information we have (Traceroutes, pathpings, nslookups, et cetera) the better. :)

Still dropping ~40% of the packets but at least it is responding much quicker tonight, with a few thousand+ ms hops every now and then.
