Blow me down with a feather

I have never seen speeds like this on Speedtest to New York

With VPN on



With VPN off

Yup, getting the most stable throughput on any tests/downloads Ive ever seen with CISP but will reserve judgement until few days go by, no telling if most CISP users are just not active with anything after the weekend fiasco and the network being completely unutilized right now.

Woke up a 4am this morning to a dead in the water internet. Could even access this site or any other local site. At 5:15 decided to reboot ont and route. And we have access to local and international internet .

Thanks to CISP team for their continued efforts, hope you guys made some inroads agaisnt this attack and have further steps to put in place to better limit the attack or downtime.

Basically VPNs encapsulate everything inside UDP as well as multiplying the sessions. Their servers also probably change the TCP congestion algorithm.

The irony

There's always heaps of irony and hypocrisy with these types. Best thing to do is ignore, rather than engage.

@PBCool @TheRoDent local and international connection seems better. Pings to London are still 170+ from CPT though

Sounds like a normal number then, what are you expecting to see?

Normal? Connection to London is usually low 140s from CPT

Ping: 1ms
Download: 597.48Mbps
Upload: 103.93Mbps
My result.

Do you have the right hardware to handle 1Gbps?

170 is close... and as expected imho

 

[DuckKnuckle]

Yeah good question. I went and bought some Ubiquiti hardware and was only pushing around 600Mbps. Turns out my CPU on my router was hitting 100% and actually couldn’t handle 1Gbps.

How much would it cost?

This tread feels like a Mafia game.

One of us is the 3rd party DDOSer
There are 2 sonic web scumb buddies
Rest of us are townies!

An extra 30ms is not close enough. This isn’t JHB lol

If you are pointing to gaming latency? Anything less than ~180 is ok

 

[jannier]

The gigabit router supplied to me by yourselves. But its not a train smash, at this stage you have bigger issues to worry about than my minor query. When you all sorted out that side and you have caught up on some sleep we can look into it.

Aah that may be the problem. I don't think the hardware in those routers can cope with 1Gbps.
I use a mikrotik router and Ubiquity access point to handle the speed.

 

[DuckKnuckle]

Yes, and as @jannier has demonstrated as well, we get <150ms to London from CPT. But this is probably due to the changes that were made early last week, so hopefully the DDOS issue can come to a close and we can get everything sorted before end of year leave.

The latency should be around 140 in cpt, 170 in jhb and 190 in dbn. If the latency is 170 in cpt, then it will be 190 in jhb and 210 in dbn. So there might be some adjustments needed to optimize the routing, or CISP could be running on backup paths. We will have to see what @PBCool and @TheRoDent says.

I see, ok wasnt aware of additional latency, but makes sense

I was able to get onto Destiny for an hour or so last night from 8pm, then got kicked out right before the boss, grrrr

 

[CrypticZA]

I was getting 140's to London last night night when i checked, play a bit of Overwatch too and was getting 159ms to 165ms, but i am at work already so can't post screenshots
