I did this to show the post above, neighbors on different sp seem fine.

Will attempt this test and see.

Like I said only being happening like from a month ago for me, the 3.5years before this, perfectly fine.

is this enough packet loss for Octotel to do something about it? I've sat with this weird "bursting packet loss" since about a year after they installed my line and its enough PL to make playing online games infuriating so I just stopped playing them for a few years. I'd like to go back but since this still isn't fixed apparently what are the chances that octotel will even look into something like this? Should I just give up and move to openserve since they seem to have moved into my area too.

Easier moving to Openserve to be honest, we are installing an additional NNI to Octotel on Tuesday so probably worth waiting to see if that has any effect.

Is it only at peak time or all the time?

iperf Done.

is this enough packet loss for Octotel to do something about it? I've sat with this weird "bursting packet loss" since about a year after they installed my line and its enough PL to make playing online games infuriating so I just stopped playing them for a few years. I'd like to go back but since this still isn't fixed apparently what are the chances that octotel will even look into something like this? Should I just give up and move to openserve since they seem to have moved into my area too.

Frankly I'd be happy if you move to openserve. We've had these problems for too long, and we get ignored by Octotel until we threaten to stop using them. Then suddenly our escalations get noted.

Easier moving to Openserve to be honest, we are installing an additional NNI to Octotel on Tuesday so probably worth waiting to see if that has any effect.

Is it only at peak time or all the time?
Click to expand...

Its completely random, it happens most frequently during peak hours but not always. Its one of the reasons why I've never bothered to report it because its so difficult to show. I currently have a ticket open with you guys about this, although I was told Octotel only accept MTR tests to 8.8.8.8 for over an hour as valid results, should I be adding this to the ticket?
 
@PBCool Has openserve been good since they started rolling out fiber? I see there's very few openserve customers complaining on the forums.

We have very few network related issues with Openserve customers, but when there is an issue it's very difficult to get them to do anything.

This is the point they're technical expertise is pretty limited.

I appreciate the response, I'll look into openserve then. Since its changing FNO there'll be no holding pool non-sense right and no downtime with it?
 
@image132 I have been on Openserve for a bit less than a year now (6 months with Cool Ideas, I moved and switched to Cool Ideas). Since My line activated around the beginning of January I think I had like a 30 Second blip where my internet died.

So in General I would say Openserve is quite stable. I can't quite comment on Openserve time to fixing issues, cause there wasn't any and installation was also fast last year, Think I applied Wednesday, I got a call on Thursday and they Installed on Friday.

So far from what I can see is, if Vuma and Openserve is available rather go with them as opposed to Frogfoot or Octotel. I think mostly why people don't go Openserve/Vuma was because of price, but I think the R1k I am paying for 100mbps is a pretty sweet deal

Yeah it's just tricky planning around the implementation, so you may have two services running for a short period if you want to illuminate the risk of downtime.

I see that the 100/50 option is the same price as my 100/100 line. Losing 50mb upload doesn't bother me. What I do find funny is that openserves 200mb line is cheaper than Octotels. So its not always more expensive I guess.

Yeah it is about the same less expensive now, I was more referring to before the speed doubled because I was on the 50mbps package for 1k then got bumped to 100mbps. So at the current point for Stability in relation to price I feel Openserve is best.

Now we just need to convince Openserve to get gigabit. :laugh:

Been on Openserve for nearly 3 years now, the only issue I've had is my cable snapped off inside the box at the pole for some mysterious reason. Other than, no down time ever, it's rock solid, you can't go wrong if you go with OS.

You can say that again. My issue is still going on after over 3 months now and it seems like Openserve couldn't give a toss about their customers.

At least my line is stable I guess.

Try being on Vodacom FNO, a 100/100 line is R1499....
Click to expand...
I agree. When is everyone going to address the elephant in the room?
Vodacom entry-level 10/5 product is around R600/R650 unless you are willing to pay for installation/activation which is over R1.5K, then you might pay slightly less.
Just about every other FNO is coming to the party with increased speeds and better pricing besides Vodacom.
