Latency problems today any one?????

[P0tenc]

Well.....the month so far was ok, until today. Ping www.iburst.co.za and post some results plz....cause a reply of 3500ms is just ridiculous and makes playing world of warcraft impossible

this example does'nt show the 3500ms i got a bit earlier.

I can already confirm one other person in Pretoria has the same problem so far today. I hope they fix it soon. Here's the really good bit though.....after deciding to phone support I did'nt bargain on the fact that I also had to explain what a ping is to the person on the other side of the phone.
