I'm experiencing heavy (20-40%) packet loss to my office via PPTP VPN. Without the VPN the packet loss is negligible!

I've connected to both our Neotel and Frogfoot fibre IP ranges and the packet loss was similar. I've now switched to WebAfrica and there is absolutely no packetloss on it.
I then went and checked my colleague's VPN too and he's also having heavy packet loss on his IP that is on mtnbusiness network too (105-236-xxx-xxx.access.mtnbusiness.co.za), which is most likely also an Afrihost account.
