Its happening again today, its more than just 'packet loss'
I have a network packet sniffer, the packets are just not getting to the
destination servers. My guess is that this

alternate routers have slightly different routing tables.

apart from the auto response I have had no feedback.
I am no impressed with Demon's service.
