High pings in VA datacenter?

[Flummoxed]

Edit: n/m the pings seem to have gone back down, maybe just my server had a spaz attack...


At the beginning of the day ping times were great, but after checking right now at 4:45PM(central) ping times are in the 300s!

This ping was done after turning off all running internet services

[bow-wow]

A friend alerted me to the same issue with my server in VA. As I was checking it out the pings returned to normal. Maybe it was an attack that they managed to block? Oh well, back to normal now.
