Potholes too. And lines not being painted unless it's done by parents and a security company around a school (for which the DA gives kudos... :/ )

Fibre is unusable today, packet loss of 50% and above. Constant timeouts out of Discord.

 

[PhireSide]

Can't even connect my VPN, must be bad packet loss today

 

[Reaper84]

No issues on my side with Cool Ideas *touches wood

high latency...

 

[Leno]

Erg I thought they updated firmware last night to sort this out


Sunday

Monday

Now

 

[thewusman]

This is completely unacceptable FF.

Local latency up the pole and 200mbps speeds currently averaging 10% of that at best.

Hint: it wasn't the router firmware chaps. Who can I send the invoice to ?

Another Frogging Awesome day in PE !

What are our options when we come to alternate suppliers or providers? Is it possible to switch away from Frogfoot in our area? I'm in Greenshields park.

Your ISP should have a coverage map on their website, eg https://www.rocketnet.co.za/coverage-map/

Im trying to work out the 100ms routing, must be looping somewhere?

PE - CT 9ms
PE - CT - JNB - 25ms
PE - JNB - 30ms? (guess)

I can mac ping another PE client at 3ms

Good luck. You'd have better luck figuring out how the universe works than figuring out WTF Frogfoot is doing with their network here in PE

 

[IceQB]

Anyone else down?

 

[Convex]

Down down down

 

[Jason-ZA]

Still up here, but with 38ms to cpt

 

[thewusman]

Getting 100-300ms latency spikes on local COD servers tonight. So much fun, so much FrogFoot.

"Firmware" ... must be 0.0.07.beta
