| high latency on ip.att.net hop outside network my isp is not at&t. either they're the outside provider or the path happens to pass through at&t's servers, i don't know
for the past 30 days or so, i've been getting high latency between 6 and 11 pm on the 5th hop of my network. the path is as follows-
1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.1
2 29 ms 14 ms 10 ms ip-74-85.206.badaxe1.speednetllc.com [74.85.206.
1]
3 20 ms 16 ms 15 ms saginaw.core2.arris-sag2.speednetllc.com [64.119
.58.45]
4 10 ms 38 ms 8 ms 64.119.60.73
5 24 ms 29 ms 57 ms 12.248.95.45
(problem exists between these two hops)
6 94 ms 97 ms 109 ms cr81.dtrmi.ip.att.net [12.122.102.42]
any time before or after 6-11 pm this hop is at 25-30ms. so any traffic of mine that exits michigan gets 80ms added to it
basically i want to know if anyone has experience with reporting problems like these, and if so who did they report the problem to?
i doubt calling my isp would help, i also doubt i would get a straight answer from a front-line at&t rep since i'm not a customer of theirs
thank you |

| Latency changes based on distance, and loads of the routers. It's generally only a problem if you're seeing packet loss from this point.
Calling your isp would do nothing, and yes calling some random att rep would do nothing.
If you really want to, run a line quality test from this site, but you need to understand the many backbones, and paths available doesn't mean you will always get the most optimal path. It's unrealistic to expect to have low latency for every server you're trying to connect with.

| i understand temporary problems with pathing. this isn't a temporary pathing problem since it's the same node in detroit my connection has passed through for years
the position of this problem means any traffic of mine that leaves michigan (ie every website i visit and every server i play a game on) is getting a ton of extra latency added to it from 6 to 11 pm on a daily basis
if you think a line quality test would help i will do that, but i don't know that it would give any information that would be helpful to this problem |

| Why not post a full tracert or pingplotter s we can really see what going on? |

| i didn't post a full tracert or pingplotter file (besides the image graph in the original post) because i feel that's all the information a reader would need to understand the problem
attached a pingplotter file from the last couple days.
times where the problem exists in the graph uploaded:
2/6 7:15 pm-10:00pm
2/7 6:15 pm-10:00pm
hop 6 - cr81.dtrmi.ip.att.net

There's nothing you can do about it. It's outside your ISP's network, so they really have no control. Theoretically they could report it to their upstream providers but probably won't based on previous experience. ATT won't listen to you either... Which ATT would you call anyway ??  |

| i had a feeling that was the case. thank you for posting |

| Again can you post the hops after.. showing they rise in latency aswell.. because alot people come here complaing of somthing simmiler and it turns our its just a single router putting icmp packets that are directed at itself on the back burner and not really an issue.

AT&T controls the devices at those locations. It would be up to them to investigate / resolve if they deem there to be a problem. They are likely the backbone provider of your ISP or your ISP's ISP.
You can bet your last red cent that they have staff who continuously watch for network congestion.
In the ISP world, 120ms is nothing to get concerned about. |

You can bet your last red cent that they have staff who continuously watch for network congestion. The other point to remember is this issue is likely affecting their "direct" customers so they definitely have motivation to fix it. When that happens, everyone outside will be taken care of automatically. |
