8ta needs to see this - Proof that the latency problem is internal!

Hi all
The services should now be restored back to normal.
If you are still experiencing a speed problem then please email your 8ta number, contact details and physical address to [email protected]
Please include MyBroadband in the subject line.
Thank you
8ta
 
Buddy you have some nerve to only show your face now.
I really hope there is no problems when i get home tonight.

I dont mean to be a douche but people have been complaining
for a while now and you havnt even given so much as a status
update regarding the current situation. Nothing.. not even to say to us
hey theres a problem and we are aware of it.
Working on it etc....

but thanks anyways. its good to know that there is progress now :D

+1 Dave,
It's been a disgraceful performance form 8ta and its rep. All they had to do was drop a message to say there is an issue and they are working on it.
 
Ok I just did a test a minute ago, and here's mine:

Code:
C:\>tracert mybroadband.co.za

Tracing route to mybroadband.co.za [41.203.21.137]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Trace complete.

Here's a speedtest:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1612051961.png

It's not 40ms, but at least 77ms is only about double, and not 20x worse.
The download also seems to be very stable, compared before when the graph looked like a jaggered mountain range.

So good work, 8ta. Hope it doesn't get worse like this again.
 
Seems like the speeds are stable/better now again.

8ta rep; any reasons what the issue was when things went to crap?

Thanks 8ta!!
 
Mine is unfortunately still poor, over 1000ms ping and download at 0.10 mbps. I used to get between 2 and 3 mbps and pings of sub 100. :(

It seems the problem is back again.

Have been experiencing terrible speeds, latency and browsing.
