Anyone else experiencing issues with Vumatel/Mweb this evening?

Internet seems slow - Deezer was buffering terribly, packets timing out left right & center.












I have a 200/200mb line so this shouldn't be happening.

Anyone else experiencing similar?

Thanks

Nationwide? I'm on vumatel and haven't had any issues besides a few disconnects in the past week that each lasted around a minute

edit: I jinxed myself

Been having bad speeds from last week, any time from 18:30. Thought it was to do with the load shedding but now 2 nights in a row. This isn't a new occurrence for me. Download speed test at testmy.net showed 74kb download speed. I was getting faster speeds on Telkom adsl, copper lines 1mb and paying far less for the privilege. I'd love to wave goodbye to MWEB/Vumatel but they are the only ones "servicing" my area in regards to Fibre.

Where about are you located, and is this still ongoing? I am in Cape Town, and is once again terrible tonight.

I had no issues last night & I'm also on Vuma/Mweb & CT southern suburbs

Johannesburg. The last couple of night actually were alright. But I see tonight I'm back to under 300kbs (29kb/s) download speed and an upload speed of 5mbs.

A family member has been having a lot problems with their credit card machine at work. The technician has mentioned that there is a lot of problems with the networks. Maybe that is a clue.

MWEB got back to me nearly a week after my initial complaint. They gave me some very technical things to work through with my modem. I'm not tech savy and I'm hesitant to do it. I also can't see is my modems fault. During the day time my speed is fine, come what I assume is peak time the speeds start dropping. I don't feel this is a localized issue, I think this is a MWEB or Vumatel are throttling my line. Which they shouldn't be.
