Ran this at home over wireless, if we had any issues I would happily post it and post it on our announcements page. This is why we run Iperfs etc to narrow down and build a case for the last mile providers, we have been seeing lots of this of late. Once we have those results we can take it up with the provider, there are far more moving parts in the last mile compared to the 3rd layer provider.Vumatel Active Ethernet, Tamboerskloof, Cape Town.And which area are you in and which Fibre Network? Wish I was getting that on my 200mb line... anyway besides that it can be some percentage of their clients that are not affected but it seems that most are... I am on Vumatel Weltevreden Park... did iperf tests and got like 0.23% packet loss. So not sure whether that is good or bad.

100/100 Vumatel trenched, Northern suburbs CPT. Don't think I've ever seen speeds this high to the UK before, will test again during peak hours and see..

Nice. That looks like local traffic with high latency100/100 Vumatel trenched, Northern suburbs CPT. Don't think I've ever seen speeds this high to the UK before, will test again during peak hours and see..

Here are my Iperf Test Results.... please let me know if this shows any packet loss issue or not.

And a speed test to london:

Mine didn't come by email but I can see it in coolzoneAm I the only one who hasn’t received a bill?

Sure on it.Hi @PBCool ,
Our fibre service has been down for almost 5 days now. There has been no feedback on a resolution/ETA of a resolution. Please can you have a look - COOL-20181031-167206
Thanks
I did some basic get tests last night and the RD servers performed poorly compared to the other file hosts at peak time. Initial indicators are either they are congested at those times and local traffic wins the demand vs higher latency traffic. This would also explain why multithread works and single doesn't. But am still doing some more tests from other networks etc.Hi PBCool
Have you had a chance to look into the RD issues, especially during peak time?

Well this is why I am doing some tests from other networks, it's possible the LTE provider is using application acceleration for instance.Is there a possible reason why rain Lte with higher latency and speeds averaging 15mbs streams better than a 200/200 Fibre line if it’s the RD servers?
