Latency sucks at the moment...

[ignacio]

anyone else experiencing this?

(I am in Cape Town)

Same here. Local seems okay, and some international destinations are good. Problem went away for me about 5 mins ago, though.

I'm still having the latency problem with some international destinations here in Hermanus. Using OpenVPN to do some remote work, but the link is extremely slow at the moment.

ok here's something you don't see everyday: I can establish a direct VPN link to a remote server and it's flying! There must be some problems on the european network side with the openVPN server I'm using.

Ekhurleni (Benoni) area. I am getting a bunch of dropped packets and everything sucks, mainly international though.
Calling the monopoly (Telsloth) now.
