@PBCool @TheRoDent are your PPPoE sessions on Frogfoot speed limited?
I've seen a few people in my area seeing their doubled speeds already on other ISPs, but I'm still getting 200mbps - just wondering if it also entails a change on your side, instead of relying on the linespeed set by the FNO.

Yes they are, changes will be effective 1st April.

If I remember correctly 200/200 customers have to opt in and then it will go to 1000/100 so it might be a downgrade depending on what u are doing. Like I am on 200/200 but I am VPN'ing all over the place so upload is more important to me than more download

Well, you shouldn't be seeing people in your area, it's the law ;)

For frogfoot, here is the fine print: https://www.cisp.co.za/promotions/frogfoot-double-promotion/

For Vumatel the 200/200 is not being changed, the fine print is here: https://www.cisp.co.za/promotions/vumatel-double-promotion/

Not sure then, could be the blend of accelerated traffic vs non with WACs being down, but default outbound should be accelerated. Are you having an issue with a service in particular when uploading?

Not really uploading. We do quite a few things in Azure (EU North) and noticed it's quite a bit slower, so I ran some speedtests as a start.

Microsoft does the transit from JHB to the rest of the world, with WACS being down and current conditions they may be struggling a bit.

We are experiencing a similar problem VPN'ing into our office network which is connected via Seacom. I logged a ticket last week, #COOL-20200327-403655, no reply yet...
