Speed issues to Newark from T-Home, Germany
Ever since I got my server over here @ linode, I got speeds up to 2-2,5MB/s which is really great considering the latency. Today though the speed broke down to a staggering low of consistently 50kb/s. I have been testing w/ newark1.linode.com/100MB-newark.bin.
Since I administrate other servers for a company which are all hosted in different data centers here in Germany, I tested the connectivity from each one to my server and I got full speed.
So I wanted to ask everyone who lives in Germany and is surfing via Deutsche Telekom AG, if he/she could reproduce the problem.
Here a mtr -r I did tonight:

What's really interesting, one of the servers I tested from also routes via telia and gets full speed.
I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.

I tested this morning and I was almost up to full speed again. Since this afternoon though, I am back down @ 30-50kb/s. Again, it works when I test it from other servers. And like I know the german DTAG (aka T-Home, aka T-Com, aka…), this is something that I won't get them to fix easily… if at all. Anyone else having the same issues or can test from his connection, please?
Oh well.

I tested again from a different server and whoops, full speed to both sites. I really cannot make heads or tails of this.
And I fear the full speed to my own server is just temporary and will go down again eventually.

For those who are following this: The problem is persistent and hasn't been solved yet. I filed a ticket with DTAG but so far there is nothing positive to report- except that I was told not to expect anything.
I keep things updated until either there are more news or when I have finally moved away from Linode because of this. What's really annoying though is that I was totally satisfied with Linode so far and would never have thought about moving away.
So long,

I switched from Newark to Fremont and now everything is working as it is supposed to.
