I'm just repeating the news report. It does sound a little suspicious, but there seems to be some evidence in the report. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/suspici

  The technical description just doesn’t make sense > The data showed the internet signal had previously taken two steps before going offshore - but was now taking five. > Information held by the Herald shows Gen-I studied data showing the amount of time it took information on the internet connection to reach the Xbox server. It went from 30 milliseconds to 180 milliseconds - a huge increase for online gamers. There’s just no realistic way that bouncing the connection around New Zealand would introduce a ~100ms delay. It sounds like he just started getting bad routes to the gameserver, which is par for the course for Oceania, but unlikely to result from LI.

    Could the bad routes to the gameserver be a possible accidental side effect of the intercept? Maybe the people doing the intercept made a mistake. It sounds like they made a legal mistake, so maybe a technical mistake isn't that far fetched either.

      A route with latencies like this suggests the traffic bouncing through another country, I can’t imagine LI causing that. Intercepts aren’t hard, it’s a feature built into regular ISP hardware. I’d guess this was just a separate, unrelated routing error.
