Hi all!

Thank you for all the tracerts and feedback. We are currently experiencing a higher than normal customer data usage which will affect throughput during busy hours. Network optimization is in progress which will address the issue. A resolve is expected by next week Wednesday (18/07/2012).

Apologies for the inconvenience

Regards,
Social Media Team

Below are three traces with different results:
First one ideal, second shows delay on 8ta network, third one complete unacceptable - 1.5s somewhere between 8ta and Telkom.
Location Gauteng Knoppieslaaghte (near Diepsloot). Cell ID 22222, signal -77dBm.
We have open reference, yesterday received call from Veronica informing that in 3 weeks threre will be new tower on this location. I asked for Cell ID, received my current Cell ID as an ID for new tower. Not sure that new tower is going to help with these unstable pings.

Mine is also up the pipe again. Was hoping to watch this weekend's rugby but 8ta disappointing me once again... Should learn not to get my hopes up with these guys.
