Atomic got DDos attackedAnyone else notice a horrible slowdown tonight? About 45 minutes ago it seemed as though I was completely cut off. I could ping Atomic's IPs but no further than that. Now I have most of my connection restored, but it seems flaky still, MyBB works fine, News24, Reddit all okay, but GMail is dog slow and WhatsApp is taking a while to send / receive messages.
Weirdness.
I eventually got into the WhatsApp group and managed to find this out. It seems the attack is ongoing until now.Atomic got DDos attacked

Anyone picking up any international speed issues? I see from Friday at about 8:30pm my speedtests have dropped to about 20Mb. I'm on Octotel, 100Mb/s
You can see the dramatic drop on the left of the chart. Speetest to London - currently 17Mb/s - used to be consistant at about 50-60Mb/s.

I've also manually run against other international sites - same thing. This seems right after Octotel did maintenance in the area?
Local is fine - coming in at 80-100Mb/s

Well my test results are still poor - only response I'm getting from Atomic is that their tests are fine.... so it's getting rather frustrating, I won't be paying much longer for a 1/5th of line speed and will be moving soon if I can't get assistance.

I am on Atomic, Frogfoot FNO. Send me a test server you are using and I will do the same test on my side.
