Frogfoot Gpon FTTH Fibre Performance

Valued Customers,

This is an official response from Frogfoot.

Frogfoot takes feedback seriously as Frogfoot is committed to be the fibre provider of choice, and we pride ourselves on putting the customer first.

Frogfoot supplies the ISP a connection between the home and Teraco Data Centre in Rondebosch. The ISP is then responsible for supplying internet bandwidth to the home user.

When investigating performance issues, there are usually various factors involved,

  • User’s wifi connectivity.
  • Device that is used for testing.
  • The connection to the Teraco Data Centre.
  • The ISP’s links to the internet.
  • The ISP’s links between international ISPs.
  • The capacity of servers to which the customer connects..

Frogfoot experienced capacity issues in the Milnerton, Parklands and Burgundy areas in early July 2019. This was resolved when the network capacity was upgraded on the evening of 8 July 2019.

There were also a few other individual reports of which the root cause was identified, for each case raised, and successfully resolved after confirming with the customer involved.

Recently Frogfoot has only had a report from a single ISP and has been working with this ISP for the past week to try and get to the bottom of these complaints.

Preliminary testing of the Frogfoot portion of the network has shown no issues. Frogfoot together with the ISP started installing extra testing points in 16 August 2019. Installing all the relevant testing points should be completed by 19 August 2019. Thereafter more testing will be done in order to narrow down the issue, based on the results and trends identified.

Frogfoot, together with this ISP’s assistance, is committed to get to the bottom of any issues that users have been experiencing.

Frogfoot encourages any users to please log speed related issues with their ISP. Please insist that the ISP supply you with a Frogfoot ticket number to confirm that it has been logged.

Kind Regards,

The Frogfoot Team
Hi FF

  • I have been battling with this issues of speeds decreasing during the evenings between 18:00-22:30 since April. I have been dealing with my ISP Cell C and they have been trying to help where they can. I have done speedtests, Ping tests everything possible and still no solutions. I even contacted you guys and was told sorry deal with your ISP. Your guys customer support is useless. How can so many people have exactly the same problems and all you say is that it must be a ISP problem. Your current system is the problem. You say all was resolved in August which is not true at all as I am still battling to this day with speed issues. I have a 100/100 and speeds drop to around 2-4mbps in the evening.
 
Cool Ideas are either inundated with tickets or can't be bothered to reply to mine...

Either way, shoddy service at a high price. Oh wait. This is South Africa. Why am I surprised? It's the norm...
 
What an awesome thread. Those SDWAN devices are mine but they are developed for business and not affordable for the home market. The business case is reliable multiple links to a site but they mitigate last mile problems using TCP optimization techniques as a side effect.
Regardless, I can put my **** on a block and state that the issue is packet loss in the last mile.
 
Ye but packetloss caused by?...is the question. Do they run 1X64 splits?
 
Okay time for some sharing, just like I promised I would. Seeing as though I was so vocal about this I am giving all the detail to be fair to Frogfoot as they are open access I'm sure they won't mind.

(In lay terms before I get flamed by the Godfathers of the internet for using the wrong lingo. ;-) )

There are two tests, the one is the Frogfoot layer two test and the other is speed tests and iperf to Teraco, will post that separate.

This is feedback from MY site, in Milnerton, I am not giving out my address for obvious reasons.
If you want to get closer its Milnerton central opposite Woodbridge Island. I connect to the Milpark Node, which is that really tall building in Milnerton on Koeberg Road. I have no idea of back-haul from the FF node to Teraco, I'm assuming its DFA, as they have the monopoly but that is an assumption.

Frogfoot sent out their network peeps yesterday. And installed a snazzy expensive looking piece of testing gear that looks like this:

ff-layer2-testing.jpg

Layer 2 testing equipment, obviously as they provide the layer2 and that is what all the fuss is about.

One ethernet port plugs into the ONT and the Other into your router/lan.

FF_ONT.jpg

They accessed it remotely and performed tests. (3 were shared) They shared the results with my ISP, Atomic who they are working closely with. The tests were conducted during peak hours, i.e. after 20h00 pm as this is when the issues were reported.

The results were - "No packet loss on the tests they conducted from my location to Teraco." See test results file.

Here are the test results, all three merged into 1 file. Frogfoot-results

You'll see there's two ONT's in the pic. That's because I have installed another 100meg line through Afrihost to conduct the IPERF tests tonight after 20h00.

FF was here yesterday to install it, its a new Fibre that has been installed. There were problems with the route but senior Frogfoot techies arrived today to fix the route and get the link up. Thanks to FF tech support for sorting this out. Will post those results later.
 
The GPON/Active Ethernet argument is generally moot as the uplink from the switch is also contended. The whole debate is overrated as both have pros and cons and if managed correctly shouldn't be much of a difference to the end user. Frogfoot is probably overcontended/oversubscribed at some point if the ISP is not to blame which is most likely causing the issue or there may be an issue with your physical strand - they should be able to test this though.


Could not agree more with you, each have their benefits and drawbacks neither is better then the next

So if the line is not the issue what is? Packeloss is usually the main culprit with slow speeds on international.

Nice I see you have 2 lines :p Maybe I should get another 200Mbps Openserve line :unsure:
 
The results were - "No packet loss on the tests they conducted from my location to Teraco." See test results file.

Forgive my ignorance as I'm not familiar with that device but I'm assuming the status "Fail (3) - Frame loss failure (3)," is acceptable at 0.1% frame loss or not?
 
So if the line is not the issue what is? Packeloss is usually the main culprit with slow speeds on international.

Nah, it's usually that most ISPs over-subscribe their international links massively as they rely on the heavy popular international sites being peered locally eg. Facebook/Netflix/Youtube etc.
 
Does anyone no what the actual solution is too this problem? Once again this evening my speeds are down to 3mbps where it should be 100
 
Forgive my ignorance as I'm not familiar with that device but I'm assuming the status "Fail (3) - Frame loss failure (3)," is acceptable at 0.1% frame loss or not?

No you are not ignorant at all. I too saw the fail but Frogfoot told me that they want no packet loss but I am gathering its below what's acceptable. I am not in networking, that's just what they said. Wait till you see the other test results from Afrihost and Atomic, I am uploading them now.

I got the other line just for the testing. Cause Frogfoot was blaming Atomic and saying its no other ISP just Atomic so I got an Afrihost line so that I can show another ISP results.
 
So as you know Frogfoot tested the line their fancy testing device and cleared it as "no packet loss". Basically saying that I am full of sh*t with my 0.1% loss. So here't the layer three tests, very basic but best I know how to do from my Mac, wired connection. Cat6. Lan network idle.

Basically the speed halves during peak times. Draw your own conclusions.
 
Here is the Afrihost pure fibre 100 meg line. I know this should have been a 200 meg line but the frogs make the line changes manually I believe even if you log it online so the lines can only be the same speed tomorrow, it does not matter though as the test is peak vs off peak.

So this result is actually terrible, worse than I could ever have imagined.

So its clear the problem is not Atomic, Its Afrihost too. If I could have more Fibre lines installed I would.
But the max is two.

And that was the point of this test, as Frogfoot isolated Atomic and me as a client. So now they have proof and I will keep both lines active for as many tests as it takes for them to realise they need to look into this.

The great thing is that Frogfoot has all this data as their testing device has been plugged in the whole time today.

I am not a network engineer and sure this was not perfect but its the best I know how to do.
If you have any suggestions I am open to trying anything.

Frogfoot, something is up.
 
So as you know Frogfoot tested the line their fancy testing device and cleared it as "no packet loss". Basically saying that I am full of sh*t with my 0.1% loss. So here't the layer three tests, very basic but best I know how to do from my Mac, wired connection. Cat6. Lan network idle.
