5% loss on your router. Switch it off and on again, make sure you're not testing with wifi.

Still showing some loss there but the router latency is still high which is concerning.

Still very high ping. Is anybody using the net there? Have you tried switching it off and on again?
Britelink was recently sent by Vumatel to move the CPE. I’m not sure if that may be to blame in any way
There shouldn’t be anyone else. I am restarting it to see if it helps.

Looks okayish. Is this wifi? Does it feel better?
This is via an Ethernet cable from the Raycore CPE to the laptop.
To add more context, the only thing I’ve had issues with is zoom and the EZVIZ cctv cameras. It randomly becomes unstable during the day. This isn’t my home connection so I don’t use it much.
We had Vumatel move the CPE from one location to another. They got britelink to move it a few weeks ago. We have a brand new Huawei router from AH too so it’s odd that it’s doing this.

Can you try another cable? Your max ping shouldn't be more than 1ms if using a cable. You have 103ms with an average of 10ms. That's not right.
Did you restart the Raycore?
Looks okay no loss. There is some jitter but shouldn't be an issue unless it's causing like very high ping spikes.
I did. Will try another cable and report back soon.

Looking at the results again and ignoring the first hop as the latency isn't following through to the last hop, it looks good as @AfriNatic said. Try with the router again.
What are our options w.r.t credit or discount from FF? They actually have posted the FRG numbers confirming the outages and all the downtime adds up in hours. FF is not the cheapest provider nor the most stable...so there is very little incentive to stay with them if it keeps up like this.

Why is there a need to have a fall over/backup needed for our Fibre if its a know issue that there has been instability with FrogFoot I've personally experienced it since I got Fibre in 2020. We go with months of no issues to be hit by a stretch of several days to weeks of issues. This needs to escalated by our ISP's who act as middle men with the FNO. Having a fall over is just putting a plaster on a wound that never seems to heal. We already pay for a service and even if there is a backup its going to cost WAY MORE than what we pay for Fibre. 1 GB is not going to cut it and that's not aimed at you as the ISP but lets be fair we average gigabytes of usage in a day now, and going over to mobile is just going to be too expensive. The issue with FrogFoot needs to be addressed by someone else than the end user. Its a nice idea to have a backup but its not the solution.
I 1000% agree with you! Most people know the issue is with FF, but for many AH & FF are the same and does not reflect well on AH. Even when FF is working there are issues, so it isn't just the full outages.
Morning,
We exclude intermittent and slow access credit claims due to the FNO's not entertaining service credits for these categories.
We can submit a service credit if there has been complete downtime for 1 day or more.
Hi,
Not seeing any general issues and the traffic for KZN looks good on all the FNO's.
Is it specific traffic or packet loss?
Seems to be the area, Umgeni Park. Community group has been complaining all day. Seems to be a known thing, reps from Vox on the group replied a while back saying it was being looked at. It's all traffic, local and international, pretty much 1 meg speeds
On Openserve?
Can you drop me a pm with your email so I can have a look to see if there is any notices from Openserve.
