In which case it's entirely possible it's an exchange congestion issue.

Had the same issue at my exchange (YOOL, Telstra only) a few months ago
(no RIMs in my area — just an under-supplied exchange). I logged the
fault with Internode, but they said they couldn't do anything as Telstra
only deal with packet loss, not latency issues (support rep's words, not
mine).

But evidently other users had been complaining, as the exchange was
recently capped to 3 mbit (from 8 mbit), and latency issues have now
since been fixed.

Logging the fault with Internode is a good idea for precisely the above
reason — it means you are a statistic (in the good sense). Assuming your
exchange is Telstra only as well, it means Internode can use your
'statistic' as ammo against Telstra.

Oh, and a side note: can list participants *please* learn to bottom-post
and trim the excess garbage from the bottom of posts? It's a little
unrewarding scrolling through lines and lines of text you've already
read only to find there's nothing worthwhile posted at the bottom of it.

And if you think it's just me, it *is* also specified in the list charter:

> (a) Don't quote 50 lines of text and add one line to it. Quote what is
> necessary to maintain context, but don't overdo it;

Like please trim this garbage if you're not actually going to write
anything underneath it:

Rule of thumb: if you're quoting or nesting the "AusNOG mailing list"
signature, you're probably Doing It Wrong (tm).

While I'm at it, I'd also like to request people not post in HTML to the
list (also specified in the list charter), but if people can't follow
simple directions like not quoting the entire thread, then there's
probably not much chance of that happening.

Yours in good faith,
Jeremy.
