Cool Ideas Fibre ISP - Feedback

zolly · Apr 2, 2019

Anything going on in the southern suburbs Cape Town? Noticed my internet was running slow, turned off everything, came back 30 minutes later, turned my router and fibre back on and it's still running like poop. I don't mind slow international speeds during peak times but 8 local and less than 0.5 megs international? Not cool. My line is 20/20 @TheRoDent @PBCool @CoolChick

Damn, and here we thought Octotel had sorted their issues

Thanks I saw image posting that he's also got problems, and we're definitely in the same area. Wouldn't be surprised if we're like, the same street or something

Joe is a pretty standup guy frankly. I have a lot of respect for him.

But he is not in charge of Octotel, and there is a pretty large organisation and partnerships that are quite intricate.

I take it Octotel?

Please give us output of
iperf3 -u -R -b 10M -p 17001 -c trcvmh01.cisp.co.za --omit 2

Also, for all distressed Octotel users, trcprx01.cisp.co.za port 3128 is available to deal with packet loss. Configure your browser. This is purely a stopgap and workaround, but all I can offer at this point.

That's still pretty bad. What does a -B1M (1 megabit look like) to trcvmh01?

The -b is actually the bandwidth the client or server will send as a maximum, so it always needs to be below your line speed. [edit] Read your post again, you clearly know how this works, but perhaps do a 1000 packet size[/edit]

Can you do a reverse (download for me as well, will just be interesting to see as it seems directly opposite to what everyone else is reporting).

If I keep the buffer size below MTU (+ overhead), I can test for max speed as you can see. By default it will use an 8KB buffer, and for that I would need to keep some overhead open, 80M seems a good number, but I have seen some users (with 100mbit download) get almost 0 packetloss up to 92M with the default buffer size.

I take it Octotel?

Please give us output of
iperf3 -u -R -b 10M -p 17001 -c trcvmh01.cisp.co.za --omit 2

Also, for all distressed Octotel users, trcprx01.cisp.co.za port 3128 is available to deal with packet loss. Configure your browser. This is purely a stopgap and workaround, but all I can offer at this point.

Yup, I'm on Octotel. First time using this, but speeds have also returned to normal. Hope it was just a glitch in the system and not a peak hour congestion issue.

International improved, but still slow. Local back to max.

I'm afraid as per lots of feedback tonight, that the "peak hour" congestion has returned. Talking to the Ops Manager at Octotel tomorrow. Again.

Not even sure if it's a peak hour thing, but something is definitely busted. 00:20 and look at these international speeds. This is wired btw.

Local is normal.

Blitz fibre

Blitz fibre have advised of technical difficulties, affecting the following complexes;

Viscount Village

Edwards Place

Pauls Place

Shellyvale

Blitz fibre technicians are attending to the issue

Currently no ETR

Any idea when this will be resolved

Assuming vumatel workers stuffed up with their digging in the area

No fibre or power

Up again this morning

What tests should I all do for logging a ticket?
