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 happens when they have a router or link failure somewhere in the and the alternate routers have slightly different routing tables. I have e-mailed their Help-Desk three times in the last two weeks, and apart from the auto response I have had no feedback. I am no impressed with Demon's service. mage flamewear.
