Frogfoot Port Elizabeth

Had terrible packetloss in George on Afrihost/Frogfoot on Tuesday.
I was out last night so don't know if it was the same or better.

Current loss on the line:

Anyone else in the Garden Route having trouble with Frogfoot? I'm with Telkom as ISP so I'm not sure if it's them or Frogfoot that's the problem this time.
 
Haven't been offline today to my knowledge, but I haven't really been monitoring - just browsing. Are you getting packetloss or is there an outage?

Ran Pingtracer for 15 minutes:

Edit:
Funny, as I post it my browser hangs. Turns out, packetloss time.

Still down here, Telkom support checked my line OK and tell me it's a Frogfoot problem. I emailed them and they responded an hour ago asking for my address, so it may be a very localized issue...

Frogfoot in George falling over again.
Can confirm it's widespread as folks all over town are reporting the same.
 
We are currently investigating with Frogfoot.
We suspect that it may be an NLD outage affecting multiple FNOs. We also observe a large amount of traffic shifting to JHB, possibly due to CDN providers routing to JHB.
