Yip the Afrinet is poked, got so frustrated earlier switched to my Mweb account.
 
I'm seeing lag spikes in local quake (goes from like 20 to 100/180) on the 3rd hop of Afrihost tonight. Started around 9pm - switching over to a different ISP account now.
 
Afrihost is broken again starting 15 min

I think ~9000km should let me keep my latency lower ;)
Btw, the tracert goes to America, so ~250ms is pretty good for South Africa.
(160ms to London + 90ms to America as you can see by my tracert when checking central europe to east coast)

Were there any other services affected? From what I can see network performance was right about where we want it to be.

There shouldn't have been any spikes in latency, did you maybe get a traceroute so that I can check where the issue popped up?

That's way upstream. :(

Looks like there was something in New Jersey that was causing packet loss. Did you see the packet loss happen to any other services?

International routing is a complex and nasty beast, it only takes one router to go down overseas to throw a major spanner in the works. Or Team is looking into the international routing last night to see if they can get it resolved ASAP.

Countryside in Austria, about 40km from Vienna.
Had about 30ms latency to LoL EUW yesterday.

Sadly will be back in South Africa by the end of the week and back to my 180ms ping on telkom adsl/Afrihost :(

Pleasure, visiting family. Going to have high expectations when I come back to South Africa :D
(considering the cost for this line at my grandparents' house is 19 EUR/month for 8Mbps uncapped, and I mean truly uncapped)
