Anyone in Cape gate area that also dropped now?

leppie · Jun 18, 2020

Ok, apparently planned maintenance. They claim it should be done by 10:30

Not really much to do as it uses AWS' transit.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I was seeing packet loss to the AWS EU Apex servers last night, just switched on VPN and was good

Do you have traces of both by chance?

We should be able to possibly filter all international paths from the local peers and just transport that ourselves.

Frogfoot or Coolideas problems in Bloemfontein? My line keep dropping every minute or so...

I can try and get for you. When i use NordVPN, the provider i use is M247 (from London) and their routing in EU is amazing, they carry the traffic themselves and don't use Amazon transit and pings are beyond great. Whenever i play Apex i use them and it drops my pings from 190 to Belgium to 150 and Frankfurt is around 155 vs 180-190 normal.

Amazon transit is normally stable but there definitely was something going on last night since i saw all the amazon servers had packet loss the only clear ones were the Brazil, London and Amsterdam (pings under 200)

Yeah if you can would be interesting to see, is why we are investigating our own transport as an option.

This is the one Frankurt server i hope... Its the only IP that made sense and was in EU, currently experiencing packet loss in game on Cool Ideas vs nothing on VPN

Left it running for around 10 minutes and you can see the spikes 4 quite close to each other.

Picking packet loss again now.

Cryptic's logs are better than mine, but just showing what is happening on a trace route

Pretty clean from my side but yea Amazon transit is being very inconsistent. If you want a easy temp fix just get a Windscribe free account verify email and get 10GB free WINDYNET coupon should push it up to 15GB then connect to London Crumpets i think it is, uses M247 as the provider and its very smooth, was testing it earlier. Only use coupon code if you have less than 15GB

dotdan · Jun 18, 2020

Oh nice, I have Windscribe, let me give it a bash.

Will see what I can do to manipulate AWS international traffic tomorrow.

It looks like that site is hard down right now. We are working to bring it back up.
Thanks for your patience.

Sigh looks like octotel in cape gate down again. Next time I move I will make sure that my checklist include that octotel is not the fibre provider in the area.

GlassMirror · Jun 19, 2020

Octotel Cape Gate down again? Neighbors reporting the same as well. How convenient, after their supposed fix it went down again

leppie · Jun 19, 2020

Another day, another break with octotel. This one is going to take a few hours to fix...
