My international :(
4131333981.png
Need to go through some tuts for college, anyone have any free local VPN's I can tunnel through?
 
Just a quick update on the reduced international throughput, it's due to a link being down. We're routing traffic via failover links and managing the throughput as best we can. I'll update everyone once the link is functioning properly.
 
I was about to ask why a 13Mb PDF estimated 22min to download.
But then read the posts from this morning, I see I am not alone.
Will just have to wait it out I guess.

Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer :)

No negativity meant with this but why did it take you that long to figure out the link is down?

It didn't :)
It just took me a while to relay the feedback through to you guys, we switched to failover links quite quickly after seeing the initial throughput drops.

Looks like its back :)
My line is maxed out at 650 KB/s again.
That was a quicker fix than I expected, thanks AfriGeeks.

It does seem to look like that, throughput has spiked back up to where it's supposed to be :D
We'll keep a close eye on things!

Until we've gotten news that the cable breakage has been completed repaired, international speeds may still be a bit off. It does look like they are starting to make some solid progress though.

How is your line throughput looking at this point? Any latency spikes?

Here is what mine looks like downloading a PDF Document:

Not so much latency spikes as bandwidth spikes.
was running fine at about 7PM bombed out at about 8PM

There is still a pending update on the cable breakage, I'm not entirely sure it is running at speed yet.

How is the international throughput at the moment?
 
Thanks Afrigenie.

Just finished what I was working on and saw your post.
To test it, and relax for a bit, I started a stream.

It is not perfect, far from it on a 10Meg line, but if you are watching the stream and not the throughput it is perfectly acceptable in SD. May be a bit slow / Intermittent for HD though.

It's hard to pinpoint the intermittent latency in this trace. Because the 2nd hop is timing out, it could be on your connection or on our network. At the moment the issue we had yesterday is resolved and latency should be normal. So it could be on the line or the exchange.

Are you testing over WiFi or LAN cable?

I think things will settle as routing and traffic normalised. Test over today and please give me feedback.

Appreciate it :)
