Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 5

[RonSwanson]

I am attending a deployment from my phone ! Should I tell my boss I can't assist because i am reading a book ?

Tell your boss to plan better, ISPs go down, companies that have dependent critical support services deal with it, so what is her problem?

 

[RonSwanson]

Sure. Are you going to take care of deadlines? You know the ones that pay my invoices, so that I can pay Cool Ideas?

We as South Africans are use to this. Loadshedding, go read a book. Internet down for 6 hours, go read a book. So easy to just give in and not expect the service we pay for

Plan better.

As of a moment ago things are looking better, can connect to Discord again and google is working again. Problem fixed?

The DD NLD has been restored.

Feedback from Liquid is there is a fibre break in Kimberley, technicians attending.

Thanks for the info. Internet seems back to normal again

 

[TheRoDent]

Dont see other isp threads trending.

CISP has really gone to the toilet

Check Mweb, WebAfrica. Common point, DD. We're working on eliminating.

 

[Brenvh]

Check Mweb, WebAfrica. Common point, DD. Which we shall no longer have.

I had issues with webafrica/DD now as well

Hi, which area/FNO?
I'm not seeing any issue with the DD path at the moment after restoration
Along with my pings via the NLD are clean as well

 

[SFW007]

back , went off from 12am till now
VUMA air CPT Southern Suburbs

 

[CoolEscalator]

back

Strange, not sure what that could have been. Would you be able to state the area/FNO for other cases to compare by any chance?

It's back. Athlone, vumatel

 

[CoolEscalator]

It's back. Athlone, vumatel

Thanks, I did see 1 other report for Rondebosch Vuamtel, a few mins ago, which is right next to Athlone. Might have been a brief flap , not seeing a report from Vumatel tho

I'm glad its back up.

 

[sn0rbaard]

Seems very stable after restoration, however my Escape From Tarkov ping to SA server is 167 which is higher than to EU (150). Somerset West, Vumatel. It should be around 20 or therabouts. Is there weird routing going on to mitigate the aforementioned issues?

 

[IcemanMike2010]

Noticed that Google DNS 8.8.8.8 10x slower than what it used to be. Previous around 20ms, now averaging 220ms.
Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 still the same.
Area: Bellville - Vumatel

 

[Petec]

While not perfect, coz never enough people who are experiencing issues, go there and click, I find that a great gauge to see if it's all the ISPs or just a particular one having issues, is to go to https://downdetector.co.za/

As of yesterday evening, only CISP had a fat red spike. The other ISPs were trucking along fine complaints wise.

I'm not 100% sure why this works but not cool Ideas, but using Cloudflare WARP yesterday I could access websites which was not possible without. Going forward use this app whenever Cool Ideas has issues in the Kitchen:

1.1.1.1 — The free app that makes your Internet faster.

Install the free app that makes your phone’s Internet more fast, private, and reliable.

1.1.1.1

Also thanks to the user recommending it.

How to use Cloudflare Warp Plus on your PC

So I decided that I should make a write up on how to do it. First of all thanks to @waylander and @luckystrike Here is the original tutorial from reddit some one posted. For this tutorial I find the original Wireguard client to be the best however you can use tunsafe if you prefer. To...
