@PBCool Please tell us what is going on in the back-end ? Is this congestion between openserve and CISP peering (over IPC)

I have been quite patient with you guys but from 6pm to 12 am my 100Mbps line is unusable (Over the last 7 days). If I need something downloaded or if I need to game online I keep buying capped data from Afrihost and have no issues on their network.

I will be submitting cancellation on the 29th of this month if this issue is not resolved on 28th. I understand openserve has no interest in the matter but if I get a better service from Afrihost I am jumping ship

Not to mention I pay R1499 for this 100Mbps line in addition now I have to pay afrihost for capped data. Totally frustrating

@PBCool Please also supply me with the openserve reference/ticket number
This should be resolved tonight I am told by OS.
 
So is it possible that there's been some damage to either an ethernet cable and/or fibre optic cable after doing the ONT swap out? Causing this severe packet loss?
 
Shouldn't be necessary surely? I can't see this being on issue on my end... And it's a UDP test that is failing...

You missed the bottom line... :sick:
This is the sending to international server test. Layout is different to the receiving test but bottom line is the same IE severe packet loss... :cautious:

No, it wasn't broken until the ONT swap.

This is a month ago....

You have 87% packet loss??!
 
Meh, I keep holding out hope that PBCool will actually resolve this. I don’t even know which other ISP to go for. But it’s becoming clear to me that PBCool doesn’t care.
I disagree about the care part, we have been doing additional tests in the background. Please try RD again for me tonight and give me some feedback.
 
New cable where? I changed the cat6 connecting the ont to my router. No difference. It's not the cable connecting my router to my desktop as wireless tests are producing the same results.

Could be actual fibre cables but I don't know. What's unusual is other than via an iperf test the packet loss isn't manifesting itself through real world performance.

I suspect you need a new cable.

Have you considered the router to be the problem (probably a dumb question) ?
