Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

I seem to be experiencing periodic drops of connectivity. For like 10 seconds at a time, I can't ping or get to any website. Then it comes back and works fine for a while before happening again. Anyone else seeing this? In Cape Town, Octotel.

Edit: doing regular ping tests from the cmd prompt is highlighting regular request failures periodically. Something is up.
