CYBERSMART MAINTENANCE

Dear Cybersmart Customer

Cybersmart's network upgrade is now within its final stages.

We've tested and further maintenance needs to be carried out on the 5th of August 2014 from 00h00 to 04h00. Customers in Durban, Johannesburg and surrounding areas may experience slow to intermittent international connectivity during this time.

We have adjusted our dates and customers should expect improved performance on Wednesday, 06.08.2014.

We know you are as excited as we are and we thank you for your continued support and understanding.
 
Ok.

Some Smokeping stats :

These are part of the hops of a tracert done to crystalweb.co.za :

The spike at the end of the graph is the ooklets watching youtube on two PC's...
 
The video on this page is on minute long:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/exclusive-first-details-on-path-of-exiles-upcoming/1100-6421458/

It took about three minutes to watch.

So, we're already 4 days into the new month. My experience in general is not so good at the moment. I just want to know if there is still stuff being worked on (from Crystal Web's side), or if the issue could be related to issues on my side.

They are still working on things. My Bavarian midget porn...cough cough I mean youtube videos are still slow, but I am waiting it out.
 
Alright, D3 looking awesome, 176ms!
Wildstar...not too fantastic, about 430ms latency (but 187 ping - weird).

I am going to give LoL a shot, hopefully it's good because it ain't easy to switch out ISP mid game, because I have to reset router...
 
I'll believe it when I see it and it stays so for a solid hour or more. Going to fire up D3 next.

I played for 2 bounty runs and a rift on HC. All in the green, all the time. Best I've seen in a LONG time. In fact I double checked to make sure I wasn't on a capped account.

Location is JHB, PTA, CT ?
 
Finally VPN/Tunnel test is not a load of horse ****. Hopefully it stays this way:

 
International latency and bandwidth is still meh, local is solid however.
 
Another support email from Cybersmart that I've received:
Someone add a link to this post in a sig so people can quite down for awhile getting abit annoying when fix has nothing to do with CW(it's the backbone atm) and they are just as anxious as we are :(
also nothing CW does can make it go faster.(unless they put dem engineers at gunpoint? :D )
 
PTA-Diablo3:

D3 seems to be looking up. Hopefully it stays this way:
199-230ms
