So some feedback from Octotel is that they use a portion of Cape Town city's fibre network for backhaul and some of it is congested. It was supposed to be upgraded this week but there was some complication. It is apparently going to be done any day now. As soon as I have further feedback I will update.

This is what we are told, but it's a start. We can then work through everyone affected piece by piece.

I see. Maybe it will somehow help us down here too. I've got to have some hope.

Things haven't improved much since last night.

@PBCool Should I be logging this on the excel sheet? Also speedtest latency is still high.

Yeah its 100% congestion on the link, i had a issue with the link in my area when i first got fibre which was a year after it was installed. Finished a data contract first. But then i go hold of a contact at MFN and they did a upgrade for me. Ever since then it has been rather happy. The one thing i find weird which pushes towards congestion is that the local is always fine and int is bad for certain users. Yes i know it deals with TTL etc and all but still the int links at certain points are probably congested is all that i can think. Its a thing that we just have to live with for some as part of being in the southern world

TCP slows down traffic when a packet is lost and speeds up when all packets are received on the other end. If a packet is dropped frequently due to an overloaded router, traffic to a server with a ping of 10ms will speed up 100 times per second, but traffic to a server with a ping of 250ms will only speed up 4 times a second. So local traffic will always get back up to speed easier in between the lost packets. Even if the international bandwidth is idle.

Packet loss is magically gone tonight.

Twitch is still completely useless though.
 
Well further proof about the OS congestion on CI. Uplay download going between 3MB/s to 4MB/s. Switch to vox and straight away 12MB/s. Hope CI can get that extra capacity soon.
