To inject a fairly rare portion of positivity, @PBCool , I had excellent service from Thabo Raborife in your support team today. He called me less than 10 minutes after I logged a query in the consumer portal. While he couldn't help resolve my problem (it's something local to my network, I just can't figure out what), the prompt response and helpful/informed manner of it was greatly appreciated.

Give us some details and we'll figure it out. Send some wireshark captures. :)

Lol, thanks. But it's not a CISP thing, so I'll start a thread elsewhere if I don't figure it out. For anyone who's interested, though, the screenshot shows what's happened. I can't guarantee exact dates, but around the time bandwidth dropped I a) updated firmware on the router (Asus RT-AC86U) and b) connected that and the Raycore CPE (Vumatel) via a Ratel 8100. The power to the router via the Ratel is in spec, but the CPE datasheet I found linked in another thread here says 12v at <5.25A, but the Ratel is offering 12v at 5A, so maybe that's it (i.e. the CPE is underpowered), but I can't really be bothered (yet) to reconnect the 2-pin plug for the CPE to check...

Thanks for checking - I get the same using PingPlotter - ingame it's closer to 200ms. Any way to bring that down, or is that just the way it is due to distance?

They could be adding a buffer to it, so in like Overwatch i hit the server at 149ms but they add a 20ms buffer to everyone to smooth things out so i play at ~160ms, unless that is not the right IP of the server, but since you can see its hitting it at 157 which for Germany is more or as good as you going to get.

Things seem to be getting worse, DBN servers now have higher latency than JHB ones, yet the first few hops are fine. The latency seems to increase on the DINX and JINX hop.

9.9.9.9 DBN

8.8.8.8 JHB

And some JHB servers are magically fine still.

Same here for me with Itumeleng Sono. Issue sorted with minimal fuss.

That is an expensive router! Does it do the dishes as well?

My area has gone live with Vuma Reach. How do I go about applying as the Cool Ideas website doesn’t pick up my address.
