Yes every night for the last 3 or 4 days there have been problems.

So what do you guys think apparently they routed through Cape Town again which brought my ping down from 40ms to 28ms ,but packet loss is a big issue.

Do you guys prefer higher latency to JHB with less packet loss or being routed through CPT with increased packet loss?

I agree and share the same experience you mention above except for the part when you say 3-4 days (Is this for the last week or for the entirety of your experiences while on this package)

I ask because even though changing the routing for the past few days may have improved the connection in certain aspects during these time frames my latency locally was around the 150-200ms and 400+ internationally. This issue we experienced last night was exactly what we have had on a regular basis for the past month or more.
7pm-11pm----> The only thing this 50/50 FTTH package is capable of doing is streaming locally hosted content and that is besides the point neither is it something to be content with and as per my screenshot (No ISP equipment and connected via Ethernet Gbit) the download speed drops from 50mb to 5mb and often as low as 3mb.

During this time frame the internet package provides more grief and anxiety when trying to use than anything else as that speedtest is not actually a clear indication of what is happening with our package during these times albeit it does indicate to me when I shouldn't attempt to use it.
 
No idea but I'm very close to Lorraine Primary and the BP filling station. (Lourdes Avenue)
 
VLAN/Routing routing issue which I'm able to see from the tests done to CPT lately.
 
My internet is totally busted; high latency etc. I get that the network is over crowded, however just communicate with us and tell us there is a plan and how long it will take to get fixed.

This really starts to seem its ISP related as well, my brother lives a few blocks away and he is with a different ISP, perfect latency no speed issues etc.

Which ISP are you with?
 
yeah normally we had good internet through Vox; understandably it seems like a routing issue going wrong somewhere.

few seconds apart ^^ (This is atm)

I originally had 11ms but a lot has changed since then specifically due to my original tickets relating to 7pm-11pm issues with speed and connection quality.
 
Only getting 120Mbps on a 500Mbps line in Newton Park
 
Going to try 500/500 for a while, just waiting for upgrade to complete.
