Thanks for the traceroute results. I've asked our Team to check what's going on.
 
Is access to content on cloud storage services such as Mega and Dropbox deprioritised on your premium uncapped packages because Dropbox will not even open and Mega is taking forever... Such is the story with GitHub git services too

Streaming is fine and I understand that downloads are shaped during peak periods BUT I didn't expect just a few kibibytes of a document to be inaccessible
 
Either my turbocharge just kicked in, or something was fixed cause things have improved. Well downloads at least, tools still show weird vibes in the network

Either my turbocharge just kicked in, or something was fixed cause things have improved.

I think something improved because streaming my side is also better and I didn't turbocharge.
Streaming is fine. Everything else is for sh*t

I doubt it's a permanent fix. Probably just a band aid.

Definitely a major issue happening here. Haven't accessed DSTV Catch Up in the last two weeks but right now the buffering is terrible. YouTube is streaming seamlessly.
 
Streaming is fine and I understand that downloads are shaped during peak periods BUT I didn't expect just a few kibibytes of a document to be inaccessible

It really does depend on the type of HTTP download. Depending on the type of Uncapped account you have, you will be able to use Turbocharge to make sure that you're able to use Dropbox and Mega when you need to.
 
both 20mbps and 40mbps business. youtube is fine. facebook is ok. but the rest not so good. so the throughput is there! but the other internets...nope

My CPU runs out of steam before the buffer can be an issue

Your performance should be pretty decent at the moment. Which services aren't running that great for you?
