Hi there

If you are using SAIX ADSL (or IS/Verizon for that matter) can you please ping www.mybroadband.co.za and say if you also experience high packet loss. Can you also please give your location?

Seems that there are continued problems on this network, but we want to make certain…

Regards,

Rudolph

Site feels *very* sluggish and the ping should be ~50ms not 80ms. Pretoria east, Axxess SAIX. WA SAIX is completely dead.

Site sometimes feels a little bit sluggish, but on the whole loads quick enough for me. I agree with Havoc, ping should be a bit lower.Im in Bloem, used Openweb IS local only account for the test.
 
First time I did a simple ping everything just timed out.

Retried and just got this, But its still very erratic when trying to browse
