I'm SO g@tvol of Axxess 3rd rate service. Been slow with high latency. When I just called them they actually admitted this time that they have an issue on their side. The website however states all is green and running great.

This is now starting to happen more frequent and in my view Axxess can't handle the demand anymore. Maybe time to call it a day boys.
 
Yes, it is highly irritating.

Only getting 2Mb/s on a 20Mb/s line, while it works fine on other ISP accounts.
 
They're adding more customers, which creates contention. First thing is the latency sky-rockets (over 340ms now) and everything slows down.

They're into denial and will blame the line, the exchange, Telkom and anything else except their network. I've spent hours doing 'live' tracerts and other tests.
 
2 pics. No 1 is what I usually get No 2 is what I get today. The whole day. And pic 3 is Axxess false advertising. Green status on network health.

Not any better this morning. Yet their network status indicator is still green.

Flat out it should reach 2.3MB/s

Come 6-7PM the latency jumps for me. Yesterday and some other days it is high all day and night until around midnight.
 
download is fine for me
but latency is just horrable

Trace complete.
 
They are ignoring tickets and the network is only slightly better since most of the 8am-4pm workers left the office.

No problem with latency, it is normal. The line is just very slow. It almost feels like they are throttling the capped account.

Not going to fight them on it, as they will probably never admit the fault is on their side.

Already marked my account to expire at the end of the month.
