While I am rocking the boat - any further news from Telkom regarding the fault at my exchange?

:(

Just got an update, Telkom isn't able to provide us with an ETA yet, looks like they are going to need to replace an entire card on the DSLAM.

:eek:
That means that since December 2014 (when the faulty card was first discovered by the technician) diddley-skwat has been done.

Wow... That would be horrible... The fault report indicates that the faulty card was discovered in March... Even that is bad enough. But December...
 
Afrihost when will the freaking fault be fixed? 7 months of erratic latency.... I don't care who's fault it is, just fix it! It is only affecting MTN DSL accounts all other ISPS are fine....

Can confirm your exchange is not at fault here and the issue is currently lying on afrihost's side.

I'll use my webafrica trial account when the issue arises again. Pinging riot.de now gives me better results again :/ I hate problems that are difficult to replicate :(

Looks like your connecting from the South, over peak period, so we definitely did see a rise in latency. We are still working to improve overall performance and client experience during that peak window :(
 
I'll use my webafrica trial account when the issue arises again. Pinging riot.de now gives me better results again :/ I hate problems that are difficult to replicate :(

I'm glad you have an interim solution and we'll definitely keep working on improving this. We have seen some improvement where we've managed to bring down demand, but we're still seeing Uncapped P2P traffic slipping through :(
 
Ping is abysmal tonight. 200ms to the 3rd hop

Latency should have normalised by then so that's a little unusual. Did you run any tests at the time? My reports show latency in the South normalising around 22:20 so I would expect most users to experience the same close to that time :(
 
Afrihost when will the freaking fault be fixed? 7 months of erratic latency.... I don't care who's fault it is, just fix it! It is only affecting MTN DSL accounts all other ISPS are fine....

I'm really sorry that you are still battling with this. Maybe we can bring the MyBB Telkom Rep in on this. We're not getting much joy from our side trying to escalate this so far :(

Did you send through the last batch of tests for the Critical Care guy working on this?
 
Interesting. Might be great if you could actually explain what you are testing for here and how everyone can benefit from this?

Sure, You know on tracerts, When the second hop doesn't respond to ICMP ?

That IP is (to explain it simply) an IP at the new BRAS/BNG's, So a customer wouldn't break out onto the ISP network, Testing the local Telkom Infrastructure only (ie. Exchange Congestion, Packet loss, Line issues etc)

:)

:)

Do you have a list of those BRAS/BNG IP's? Might be very helpful to our support team to be able to provide client's with this information to be able to troubleshoot better :)
