Have been looking around to see what has been affecting my speed as of late (about the last 2 days)...
Can't find anything here, on Cogeco (who should be the underlying backbone), or any of the various Internet maps (pingdom, internet traffic report, akamai, cloudflare, etc.)... Downdetector does seem to indicate some bumps with Start service (though not Cogeco, Teksavvy... who should be the other major cable players in the area...)...
I thought it was a local network issue, but having tinkered a bit... it looks like a routing issue...

It's not consistent, and speed can be good (when it's good), but I'm getting a lot of misses...
Any ideas on what is going on?
Normally, I could live with hiccups (especially these days), but working from home makes things a bit rougher...
