Doubt our problems are related at all.
I'm on a capped account, and can't see any packet loss or slow pings. Weird.
Afriman, when can we expect static IP addresses??
Would love to move but it is the only thing holding me back now, a bonded service would also be great!!
We've been working on Static IP's for some time, and we're close to offering something. The barriers have mainly been similar to bonded ADSL, which is the hardware on the clientside which is extremely costly. We're looking to offer static IP's at an affordable cost to client, so when we have finalised the hardware component, we should have something attractive to offer
Hi Afriman
I'm having massive packet loss on League of Legends tonight. Latency up and down and delays of up to 5 seconds in game.
You say that the network is running on a backup support but this is what i get to international sites.
Local:
Although the ping looks great I don't get lower than 300ms in game.
Your tech team said it was my line and i have to disagree because local is fine.
Have you given this feedback to our Priority Support guys? Please PM me and let me know who you've been dealing with so I can get them to follow up ASAP.

Aren't you able to assign a static IP to the client's MAC on their router or to their phone line?
Home users won't generally have a need for more than 1 static IP.
Also something is broken with international streaming.

Thanks, you guys should look at Billion routers, half the price of the Cisco routers and they do the same job....
Mweb now offer static IP addresses and bonded services with the option of either a billion or Cisco router.
I see Internet Solutions use a Netgear router, which is a horrible unreliable router..... Don't go netgear please!

The max speed my line can take is 2Mbps.... So I'm stuck up the proverbial creek.
At this stage I can't afford higher speeds, am content with a 1Mb uncapped account for now.

If they can offer uncapped ADSL with 5 static IP's...
I'm probably wrong but is that first hop 1626/1359ms the time it takes your PC to talk to your router? Maybe you should check into that.
We are not aware of any problems. I have PM'ed you requesting additional info so that we may troubleshoot your scenario.
Thanks. Will check my PM's.

Yip, going to investigate that, although my internet is working once again this morning.
Sigh
Hi Afriman do you know why this is happening to so many people? Also happening on my Mweb account. Is Telkom doing something that affects local pings come 23:00? I'm joining Afrihost coming May but this seems to effect a lot op people regardless of ISP

What's up with that over 1000ms ping on your router?

This indicates typical Exchange or DSLAM congestion.
I had the same problem nearly 2 month ago, luckily I had a VERY clever technician on my call out, who phoned a Specialist whom investigated my exchange and dslam and moved me over to a non-congested DSLAM.

Congestion depends on when the max amount of users are online (and what they're doing). If you're in a residential area, usage will peak after hours, whereas business areas peak during the day. If people are running file sharing and torrents, that has a tendency to consume a constant stream of bandwidth, as opposed to fluctuating levels for real time services and other protocols.
