    Can a layer 2 expert please grace me with their input

    Update on my findings: Three other residents with different ISPs all experience bad packet loss. One resident confirmed Route Networks are using a wireless backhaul disguised as fiber. My ISP and I found the following super weird situation: - From my place to their exchange in rondebosch...

    Could we make this into a new Netflix series? Like a mix of Silicon Valley and Narcos?

    I also wanted to add here that I've seen our traffic take multiple different routes on different days. Sometimes on afrinic servers, sometimes on Frogfoot, and that was super weird to me. Would this system explain why the routes change every now and then?

    Thank you! Reading stuff like this feels like peeling off dried Ponal from my fingers. This seems like a crowsnest of complexity and problems. I was really hoping its something that doesn't require me to move.

    It never occurred to me that they would fling our packets over microwave snares as a cheapskate solution. I pay 850 per month for a FIBER 20/20 line and they advertise fiber surely this is NOT okay. They lay fiber to the rooms then fling the packets over the air to the next point?? Nah I've done...

    I'm capturing the data now. I'm not sure I want to post all of this in public, would you mind if I mail it to you? Could you also tell me where I find texbooks or media that teach this since I know neither compsci nor engineering teaches these nuanced protocols and hardware architectures.

    Yes, I told them its going into frogfoot hardware, and I just want to speak to a decision maker at whoever manages the piping. The cherry on the top here is that there's advertisements for 50/50 lines for 400 rand per month in the neighborhood FROM frogfoot. How the hell are they selling more...

    How is it possibly THIS bad, 800ms and 20%pl?? Are they running these switches on Tamagotchis?. But surely they don't own all the infrastructure to the seacom point, do they sublease some bandwidth from other FNO's? And why is Stellenbosch in particular so terrible, at what point does our...

    As far as I can tell, the loss picks up with load. I haven't been able to make out a pattern based on weather.

    Dear All I live in Stellenbosch and I have VTS Connect as an ISP with Route Networks as the Open Access FNO. I am in a building where each apartment's ONT is connected to a single switch in the basement of the building. For the last 7 months I have had the worst possible internet experience of...

    Please help me identify my ONT serial number?

    I posted the address in previous messages. However the LTE enabled router from supersonic arrived. I plugged in the WAN port of the ONT that was in the apartment to the router, and bam I have internet... Now I'm wondering if that's from the LTE sim in the router or from the fiber line hmmm...

    Please help me identify my ONT serial number?

    The ISP used to be Afrihost, but even with the address and the ONT serial number they can't give me the B number without the account details. The afrihost technician told me if Supersonic gives me the PPoE details and I configure my router, then Supersonic will be able to get the B number when...
