Yea this is either Apex side or your FNO since if it were CISP London/Amsterdam would have loss but Belgium and Frankurt wouldn't since they picked up locally and go via AWS & Google that Singapore is also picked up in JHB

I connected to a different PPPoE server, and the loss is gone. For reference, TERRAR6.coolideas was the one giving problems.

Yeah same here, YouTube can't even stream at 144p then it buffers. Google must still not have capacity

I have noticed some issues with Amazon Prime on my TV that there was some buffering and quality drops that have not been there of late, and Youtube has been a bit sketchy as well. Disney+ launched yesterday so I signed up and last night I noticed immediate buffering. Not sure if I must put that down to it being new and ISPs not having optimized for it yet, but overall there has been buffering on most streaming video of late but appears intermittent.

I'm battling a bit with Youtube streaming as well. Lower res is fine, but 4k is buffering which is quite unusual.

Today I'm getting constant intermittent packet loss to hosted servers, VPN keeps dropping and makes work practically impossible. Is there a known issue somewhere?

Openserve in Bellville.

Update: Seems to be sorted @ 13:10

The last few weeks trying to play WoW have been terrible on Cool Ideas.

Yep wow has been bad, it's because of the Google capacity issues in JHB. WoW servers are a hybrid setup, some are hosted on Blizzards infrastructure and some on Google cloud, as you switch between zones and instances in-game you switch between Google cloud and Blizzards servers.

The UK VPN solves the latency and disconnecting issues, I have not had any disconnects or latency issues on wow since using it.

Using the UK VPN causes you to bypass Google's POP in JHB and forces the traffic to use CISPs transit instead of Google's

Hmm okay thanks!

Not sure I can be bothered to use a VPN just to play WoW though haha! But I will look into it!

Using this one mentioned here? https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/cool-ideas-vpn-server-s.1142537/
