A few points.
1. My Comcast business connection experiences none of the latency issues I am experiencing with my FIOS connection.
2. I'm entirely prepared to accept this is an issue with one of their transatlantic peers, but my contract is with Verizon and I would like them to resolve it. If it's affecting me, it's going to be affecting many others also.
3. Isn't it funny that suddenly at 23:59 my connection miracously recovers from the high latency experienced? This is consistent behaviour, *every single day* since 22/4.
4. Being from Britain, I'm used to ISPs interferring with traffic in as many ways possible. The symptoms i'm experiencing are exactly similar to those I would experience when my connection was shaped by my UK ISP.
5. The problem is also replicated to many other UK based IPs.
