Nothing down here in Capetown, ie. its working

Where are you situated?

 

[Highflyer_GP]

JHB, response times are slow. seems to be working now, but alot slower than normal

 

[Clipse]

Stupid question, are you capped by any chance internationally?

Hi Clipse - I have also experienced slow connectivity earlier- Even Google is slow. I am on my SAIX account a.t.m.

Guys having slow international access via IS can you do a ping test to google.com and jolt.co.uk and post the replies here.

Want to find out if its related to a cache proxy used for jhb access perhaps or if its international slowdown on the satellite links.

although things do seem to be sort-of working now

seems like a link problem to the US, looking at packetloss as the issue and your latency seem 100ms higher than the norm.

grrrr now its all sites that are slow weird thing is that its downloading meg upon meg of data, but the sites are taking forever to open. could the weather be the cause of this bcos of the satellites and stuff? the weathers been hectic the past few days

Slow is an understatement. I am also in the JHB area (Sandton).
