Can't spot any issues on our end.
Is there a traceroute that I can have a look at?

Very weird, not sure if the routing on your account is working as it should. Latency on the 4th hop is way too high :(
Drop me PM with your account info and we can take it from there.
 
If torrents run fine when he has streaming issues the isn't congestion.

This.

Torrents run at 600+k/sec continuously and average around 480k/sec.
All other downloads (game updates, program updates, etc) run perfectly. I have downloaded 334GB so far this month, so there is no issue with download speeds or browsing.

ALL video streaming sucks gorilla gonads, not just Youtube. So it is not a congestion issue, it is a streaming issue.

Definately not a congestion issue, the support staff tried that with me as well, the next thing you will hear is contention ratio...

Downloads in general aren't very reliant on latency though, so even if the exchange is quite heavily congested you can still download.
If the latency is too high or erratic, it can cause issues with streaming.
 
Hey, tried Googling but I couldn't find an exact explanation on what the business optimization does. It just says
Business Optimisation will enhance your web experience by prioritising vital business traffic and ensuring that productivity is not affected by Peer‑to‑Peer traffic on your DSL line. This will not in any way affect real‑time services such as browsing or Youtube etc.
So it prioritizes P2P below web traffic, but what is defined as "vital business traffic"? At the moment, I am finding it annoying how when watching a stream if someone decides to check their email it will buffer, even if the stream is low-quality.

Business Optimisation shapes the account down to our harshest level, only allowing realtime services like browsing, streaming etc to be untouched.
Do you have this enabled or disabled?
 
@Afriguy, it's really frustrating trying to watch youtube on my business DSL account, youtube starts to buffer at 240p, I can only imagine what a 720p video would do...please sort this out

I disabled it so that games update quicker through P2P and because having it on or off doesn't seem to make a difference to anything other than that or torrents.
 
@AfriGuy.... I'd appreciate if you can help me out here.

I have having slow speed / torrent download & streaming issue as well... Every time i get in touch with support, All i get is "I have recreated the ports on your line and restabilized it. Please could you reboot your router, check the connectivity and revert back to me"

I have done that atleast 5 times and i am not getting anywhere with it. Going around in circles with support.

This isn't the case across the board, our team need to look into your account. I believe we're waiting for feedback from MTN on this.

There could be an underlying issue here then, do you have a traceroute I can have a look at?
