Hey Guys
Got some great news. We have managed to get some extra capacity nationally before the Telkom network freeze over December. This is a provisional upgrade until the full additional capacity we requested becomes available. The upgrades are now live in the North, South and the East.
Please remember that this is provisional capacity. Unfortunately we were not able to get as much as we would have liked, but we're already seeing a huge improvement in the East and the South. The North is still seeing more shaping than we'd like but we expect that contention will be minimised and we also expect that we'll see more unshaping or lesser shaping happening much quicker and shaping being applied a little slower.
Again, this is provisional capacity to ease the load on the network and to improve our clients overall experience until we can get our full order from Telkom. We still encourage all our clients to schedule torrents for after hours or overnight. Clients in the North will still experience shaping, but we expect that your overall experience is going to improve.
We'll be monitoring and tweaking over the coming weeks to try to find the best "sweet spots" to ensure that we shape as little as possible but also keep contention and throughput at optimal levels. We also expect traffic to die down as businesses starting winding down for the holidays - which will be a great relief on the demand on the network.
Thanks for your patience, and let's hope that Telkom gets our full order in as soon as possible
