Frogfoot Port Elizabeth

finally back to 10ms again, and its amazing :cool:

I'm glad I have the luxury of being able to bide my time on the Openserve network before switching to Frogfoot. In a year or two or three when they finally realise that their disgraceful lack of investment needs to be sorted out, this network will be amazing. For now, the 100% reliability of Openserve is miles beyond Frogfoot imo.

Oh would you look at that, I am back to my 12.3ms on the first hop as well

On the first hop? Jesus. What's the total latency?

Really? If you followed them since the beginning, you kind of should have. They managed to mess up just designing their network topology, e.g. Constantia some sections didn't have enough light, building a ring network so something going wrong in any part of CT affects the other parts of CT instead of building it as a star network (they did this as a cost saving, about a 40% difference according to older studies but reduces theoretical down time by 50% at least but note that paper is from 1999, those numbers are old, it's just to give an idea), routine maintenance that frequently takes out the entire network, etc.
 
You're lucky, son.

I'm in the naughty corner, back to 21ms.

Latency Lottery continues.
We also went back up to ~19ms right around midnight.

The ~12ms was nice while it lasted (a whole 12 hours)
