How the heck do you get 1080p on a 4Mb line??
I struggle to get 480p on an 8Mb line and settle for 360p always just because anything above buffers continually.

This is what I thought aswell and 720p was the one to play buffer free for a 4mb, but lately, the few times I've tried 1080p, they also play, sometimes with a slight buffer, sometimes not, some vids must have a lower bitrate or something. Your one played buffer free, as you could see how far ahead it was already after 30 secs.
I left MTN long ago tho, too unstable, but aren't you having telkom issues aswell? I'm blessed that I'm on a good exchange, albeit, max 4mb, but they digging holes all over the place and putting in poles which can only be for Telkom's 100mb ftth
EDIT: Sorry, not your one, confused you with bursty

I dunno just exactly what issues I am having at the moment. 
So between AH Capped and support and Telkom 10210 it is all a big muddle with no one having any problem with anything at all.
:wtf:
BUT... a PM to TelkomZa here on this forum has yielded a miracle that had eluded any resolution for 2 months... for some reason I could not get above 1.8Mbs international throughput... and it seemed to be a fate I was going to have to resign myself to... until TelkomZA worked his magic.
^^ This is a speedtest result with kids Youtubing (at 360p) now at the same time.
Hence my amazement that you could stream 1080p on a 4Mbs line.
I live in hope.

No issues this evening, do you have a traceroute that I can look at?
Please paste a traceroute here so we can see where the issues are coming in.

Sorry to hear that
No issues on our end, what's your latency like?
I have very slow connection to everything. Client zone not even loading. Pings around 100 ms to local sites. Tracert takes forever

Exactly the same. I'm also Durban, you've got a serious issue with your POP here.
