Thank you for confirming. So sick of this. I have been with critical care for 2 weeks and nothing has improved. They say it is an isolated case. Not by the feedback in this thread.......

And international speeds - terrible.

But speedtests show all is well.

We're looking into the specific services that you guys are having issues with, we're trying to replicate them on our side, and we'll hopefully be able to figure out what is going on.

I have had the same issues on Business Uncapped for the last couple of weeks. Around 7-8PM my connection slows to a crawl - P2P and some international services. HTTP downloads and youtube mostly run at full speed. Around 11PM it usually comes back to life again. Bizarre.

Very sorry about this, it's something we're looking at :(
Are there any international services in particular that I can look into for you?

We will do, but please also keep the call open with our Critical Care team - it's best to consolidate all your info there.

I did email them last night as well about the really terrible performance reported.

Thanks, they are aware of your query and will continue to have an open communication channel with you until you see improved results.

Managed to test a little after 22:15 last night, but this particular stream didn't seem to be live.
Tested a few others and have good throughput on 720P streams. 1080P completely saturated my line (I'm on 10Mbps) so there was buffering every 5 mins or so. From my 720P stream tests though, throughput peaked at around 860KB/s.

YouTube runs 1080P without any issues at similar throughput values to what Twitch needs on 720P.
 
fuk, telkom needs to replace another backbone cable:cry:, this time its the cable feeding my entire street...tech just phoned me now, they ordered a new cable, but no ETA on when the cable will be here.
 
Tried to order a capped account with line a few times today, keep on getting technical error has occurred, close this to try again :( hmmf...
