So Telkom phoned me this morning and the lady says "Oh i can see there is a lot of noise on your line"....so if they had "seen" that a week ago I could have saved so much time that I wasted on "diagnosis"....grrrr

Huh... :(

Did Telkom provide you with any further feedback?

Same for the last two nights. Went to a friends and it works. (was going to write about this, thanks to Rickster for reminding me)
Once connected to peers it's fine (it kept going when I came back) but if it's not done so yet it's dead in the water.

If you have a VPN for me to test it out on, I can compare.

Did you see zero-throughput for the entire evening?

Are you able to test your P2P speeds now?

Not seeing any problems from our end that can cause this, to nail and potential issue down we'll need to run some consolidated tests.

But as others have said when the speed drops occur normal download as fine, its P2P related, and its not only me seeing this.

We need more info, and the same test results from everyone in order to take action here though. There are no general issues with P2P from our end. We probably can start looking at P2P, downloads and performance in general, but it'll honestly take months if we don't know what we're looking for.

Please complete the requested tests if you're still having issues this evening.
 
Well since this is a feedback thread. I'd like to say, Afrihost is probably one of the best ISP's I have been with. Miles ahead of MWEB that I was with before, I can actually stream YouTube videos now, and at 1080p nogal.

Very happy!

Going off this info, I assume torrents/ Usenet services are slow?
