Did a Wireshark, I was pulling from the JHB Google POP, I can't force an international transfer but if you have any further tests you'd like me to do just shout :D

being with Cool Ideas on MFN do you think i should be in a better place as my tracerts give very good results on my current network
I live on a plot so no congestion here luckily

Yeah you should be in a better position using Cool Ideas as your ISP over the MFN fibre infrastructure as you'll be removing MFN's Internet breakout from the mix.

You can but there isn't much of a point, the line order is what you need to get pre-ordered with Vumatel as that is the part that delays things the most.
 
Hey PBCool, was wondering if you could provide some insight.

On my iPhone if I run a speedtest to a server in London I can hit around 40/70 (on a 100/100 line).
If I run the same test on my windows PC (wired), I'm hitting around 20/5.

I know this has been brought up on the forums before, and it's to do with the tcp buffer size. But any ideas on how to fix this on my PC to get closer to the speeds I'm getting on my phone?
It seems to be affecting my uploads to sites like streamable or sometimes dropbox.

(Local is solid 100/100).

try doing what this article says - https://www.ghacks.net/2016/08/05/windows-10-limiting-internet-speed/

TL;DR - Command prompt - run the following as administrator - netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
then run a speedtest to an international server and see if any better.

I know about this and tried messing around with it before. Setting it to disabled dropped the speeds to around 14/3. I had it on experimental and the speeds I mentioned previously was what I was getting. Setting it to normal gets the same speeds as experimental. Still way different compared to on the phone.
