You say you in Somerset West? Why on earth is your packets routing via bloemfonteint then back to cape town...o_0 Unless that reverse dns is out-dated which it probably is.

Got your PM and I've sent a request to IS for them to look into this and explain.

Also had crap internet and latency this long weekend (line also kept dropping on me) but it seemed to be happening on both Afrihost and my webafrica account. I then thought well it must be my hellkom line but it seems that the internet at work today is also full of poo and problems and this is a mweb account on a different line and exchange.
