Someone fried the main cable while trying to steal another one (the backup cable)
Cable was so old they had to fly in specialists to do the custom repair
We back on again, was Summerstrand & Walmer

Loving the old, antiquated FrogFoot infrastructure in PE. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
With Christmas just around the corner - maybe this is a gift ? "High latency and packet loss - a game the whole family can play..."

Oversubscribed by the thousands! They were signing up people left, right and centre since forever in my suburb (Sherwood) for about 18 months before the first cable was laid!
Saw this coming - and told them to GTFO until they can guarantee a stable service in Nov 2020 (monitoring my Boet's connection, albeit in Lorraine)

@Frogfoot Fibre what's going on? Seeing major latency during evening hours every day.

Why not ask your staff to check the status of their network in the evenings, its clear you have a problem. I will be leaving as soon as Openserve goes live and I'm telling everyone I know in PE to avoid Frogfail like the plague. Great job
