Hey all

Did a ping test to Google.co.za to test, and I seem to be getting very erratic results using a 10Meg account from Axxess :erm:

Anyone else experiencing similar problems? I tried loading Speedtest off MyBB but it just shows a white screen where it is supposed to display :confused:

Not impossible. Grahamstown, AFAIK, only has one exchange anyways (EGGT according to broadbandstats.co.za). The Rhode University internet have their own backbone though.

It comes and goes. Some days it's perfectly fine. Other days we struggle a lot. It isn't bad in the evenings, except around 21:00 - 23:00 it seems to slow down again. Frustrating!
