Frogfoot performance issues in George

There’s a big upgrade tonight at 11pm. I think you might see benefit as to my knowledge garden route runs via cpt.

George is seeing a massive fibre run. People are flooding to froogfoot, but that causes these issues sadly.
I hope in a year, when everything is installed, that we have a smooth and solid network to brag about.
 
Packetloss continues: Same time as Wednesday, for reference. (Bit better as it seems Wednesdays are usually busier then Thursdays)
More people are getting added daily especially with another big sales drive all over the area.

Adding more people to their network than the available capacity, while charging full price (Vox still not answering my request for a refund for the period where the internet was unusably congested) is unethical business practice.

You'll never get your money. I know of three clients that have business fibre with vox and frogfoot in the area, they refused to pay and stopped the debit order. Vox cut them off straight away. No remorse nothing, just pay up for your internet.

What about this theory
Ive spoken to a few datacentre people last 2 weeks.
A few isp's have rerouted their traffic to Jhb routes ( i can see mine is )
This is obviously due to the link failures in cpt to international.

With so many EXTRA bandwidth flooring through jhb routes, we'll all experience some degree of packet loss.

My downloads are fine, 95mbps on average. But my ping to local exchange to 8.8.8.8 is higher than average. Start point was 4ms final hop 24ms( jhb)
Now its anything from 7ms-10ms final hop 29ms-31ms

So im calm and understanding at the moment. But this should be corrected by next week Wednesday if articles on the link are something to go on.

I could be wrong, as no isp admits this, they all say everything is fine and cant se anything wrong.

How long did it take from bare fibre roll-out and trenching to people getting added ?
Frogfoot have a massive fibre roll out in PMBG
When this lot get added the Internet in SA is going to come to a crawl ! :coffee:
Still I have been pleadng for someone to come and check our complex -- so perhaps the "adding" will only happen NEXT year !
 
There were several extra delays due to road maintenance and municipality red tape, so I doubt our timeline will be any good but in short I would guess more than 3 months at least.
 
Know this might be a long shot, but anyone on here with Openserve perhaps? As I'm seeing huge packet drops and latency spikes.
