hammer anything new on the service or anything u are working on?
No, not really. The ISP has been having serious problems with ping ever since the downtime has been solved. My latency to "hetzner.de" is now 205 ms. instead of 120 ms., like it used to be. My latency to CBMhost is now 125 ms. instead of 60 ms. It's ridiculous, and I will not develop the software further or accept new clients until something is done about this.
So far, I have identified that the node "NewYork2.Level3.net" is responsible. My ping to it is a whopping 180 ms., even though it is in NYC and the ping is supposed to be under 20 ms. Seriously, level 3??
I have considered renting a small Linux VPS which is in New Jersey. This will act as a proxy for all of my traffic, and the main purpose of it is to avoid the New Yorl City route. Unfortunately, getting a VPS like that is extremely difficult since it needs to be within like 40 miles of my house. Otherwise, the route could either go through NewYork2.Level3.net, or it adds significant ping because it's far away a from home.
