Maybe its exchange. Its definately not congestion, that was confirmed by Charl.. There is another issue re a transmission link, which im guessing is the real pain.. So somebody needs to work on this exchange, but its Telkom and we know thats going to be a struggle.

Good luck bro, just keep logging those faults with telkom :)

Don't do it unless you absolutely have to. The exchange also has to allow you to. It doesn't help against line faults/exchange congestion. It also allows a max of 8/1 Mbps

DNS wise, just use the google one, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Hey Johnatan56! :) Even though Google DNS is often used for testing, we really don't recommend using these as your primary and secondary servers. Our Auto DNS is region specific and is designed in a way to offer fastest access to our closest CDNs. :)

Did you try that app I posted yesterday?, the one which monitors your line.

Not yet. Was a bit busy, and only went online late last night. Will give it a bash tonight. What exactly does the app show?

If configured properly this is the result

Stable SNR (healthy Line)

This what very unstable SNR looks like, this is what causes line drops, streaming issues and packet loss ofc
