Been getting pretty much the same results in JHB East. Did a port reset and was pretty much sorted. Seems something is up with our interwebz in general... :(
 
Definitely fair few issues this weekend so far. Not sure what changes were made last night but today

Downloads fluctuating terribly and struggling to even view a short video on twitter. Having to pause while it buffers before I can view the video.

In your trace routes is hop 2 and 3 also changing constantly?

things are horrible today, can't even stream.

Whatever changes they made yesterday seems to have had an adverse effect.

Well YouTube buffers all the time and Skype so broken you can't hear anything..... :(
EDIT: Took almost an entire minute to post this
 
Sometimes it works and works well. Then all of a sudden it's like dial up .
 
Streaming is at an all time low this weekend. Twitch buffering every 5 seconds on low on a 20mb line. It was bad during the week but this weekend pure agony.
 
Yeah, streaming is impossible at the moment.

I also cannot connect to my VoIP service on Euphoria. Works perfectly when I switch to a different ISP.
 
These free gigs have buggered the network, we wont hear from Afrihost until Tuesday now either.
 
I just hope something happens one day and this place gets closed for good, doesn't seem like the new stuff in place is really helping so they should just call it. 90% of the time when it's weekend it's worse and nothing will be done, and in the week people just replying here to buy time I guess, not sure for what really.
 
Weird to see so many complaints. Afrigreen is working fine for me. Downloaded a few things today at line speed (1MB/s on 8Mbit connection) and Youtube is streaming fine.

Maybe business users are on a much better shaping profile?
