International downloads struggling again tonight. This has been a recurring thing for me in the evenings since Friday, where my download speeds for international hovers around 10Mbps yet uploads are close to full line speed 100Mbps.

When I run the tests again during the day everything runs full speed. Getting a bit annoyed with this as it makes my streams buffer constantly in the evenings.

I’ll open a ticket tomorrow for further investigation but definitely seems like a capacity issue during peak times, what is odd is that it only affects downloads, uploads seem fine.

Same issue with me, trying to stream content from my seedbox hosted in the Netherlands and today in particular it is really struggling. I'm on sym 200 vuma aerial.

[MENTION=394133]PBCool[/MENTION] what does support require to investigate issues like this? are speedtests fine?

Speedtests are ok, just test to London servers rather and compare during the day so we can narrow down if it's a time based issue that we would need to take up with the provider.

Usually that's a sign the providers backhaul might be saturated. Log it and let me know the ticket number.

I concur, PBCool, This is on MFN, this problem has reappeared and tonight it’s worse. International speed barely at 1Mbit
I cannot even open news24.com
Here is the support ticket, open since last week, Kyalami Hills area.

What does an MTR look like when this happens? Latency and packet loss to your first hop?

Also in Brackenfell same as you but not having any issues.
Give a few samples of what you trying to download?

Do some speedtests to london, things seem back to normal now though. Usually around 8-10 in the evenings.

Hi. I have updated all the stats on the support ticket. Will PM if you need it.
Thanks.
 
Hi PBCool

Would there be a reason why CISP CPT Vumatel clients in Tamboerskloof would be routing via JHB where as CISP CPT Octotel clients in Green point would be routing via cpt?

Speed seems OK for international, you will seldom get full UP/DN speeds on international due to Latency and single thread, that is where download manger works so well, open about 10 threads and you should saturate your DN link most of the time on international, but speed depends heavily on latency the server you connecting too's performance and the routing international.

Speeds are back to normal now, I get full line speeds to london. This is definitely related some sort of capacity issue during peak times.

Strangest thing is that a few weeks back I was getting 1ms to 1.1.1.1 and now I am routing via JHB as far as I know.

Nothing on my side has changed in terms of my mikrotik config besides Firewall rules.

Compare my routing to yours, it is identical, it is local cpt, but I notice yours seems to show some heavy latency on the route.

Good point. Didn't even look at comparing the route... Noob mistake. :wtf: Clearly have been awake to long...
