LATENCY!!!

jpmonster said:
Just got told now a buddy of mine who is in rondebosch east, but on the other side of the M5, and the kromboom bridge, in the area by the shell garage is connected to Rondebosch 2, his num is 021696 , mine is 021697. So good luck making sense of how it all works.hehehe.

I also believe all the problems come from the Clareinch exchange. Initially my friends connected to them had super high latencies, which is when is suspected traffic was routed to rondebosch which caused all the congestion for the rest of us.

If Clareinch has rondebosch/newlands users on it then they probably have wynberg/ottery and Bishops court users as well coz its a central location.

I am not entirely sure where Clareinch is, but could it be the last stop before the Newlands Data center? or could that be rondebosch?

Edit: Since September, I have been living on this thread hoping for some break through:( sigh, what a headache

Wish there was a website with layouts etc which we the common users could look at.

From a list that I found, 021696 and 021697 are Crawford exchange numbers. Found the lists here http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...kom-exchange-name/page2?highlight=magisterial

Edit: or from http://web.archive.org/web/20071125...iness_national_availability_western_cape.html

old lists maybe

As best I can determine this is where you are.


teRRRier 021674 Clareinch
joker 021797 Wynberg
StevenC 021671 Clareinch
ajules 021685 Rondebosch
Gordon_R 021671 Clareinch
jpmonster 021697 Crawford
johand 021686 Rondebosch
 
I'm in Kenilworth, right next to the race course off rosmead - pretty sure I'm on Clareinch
 
@joker not according to the DSLAM look up, 797 is massive covering a huge list of DSLAMS, but it's primarily wynberg, no Clareinch.

Edit: ajules is a possible 'tweener though - 685 is all rondebosch dslams except for clareinch 8.

I do have someone I can speak to that could look up the exact dslams for each of us, but I have supplied the DN's with all the graphs to my escalation point so really I think we've done enough of their work for them already :)

I think someone might have fixed something, don't know, but latency for me is back where it was a week or so ago and my downloads (which averaged 17.5kb/s) are also going full steam (39kb/s average)
 
Every Friday we tend to go through this pattern. In the Afternoon and evening the latency is perfecto
 
n1 Surv0,

Back to "normal" - Just wished it meant 30ms and not 150ms:(
 
You cannot expect me to pay for these speeds and latency !!!!!!!!

Thanks Will! After 35 pages of replies to this topic, I assume we have provided enough information...

Yep, its Friday afternoon. Brief lull, before things go crazy again...

My latency graph today is exactly (minute for minute) the same as Shard, and he's on a totally different ISP, and destination website, so that says something...

Hey Will
I was told by a Telkom techie that I am on Rondebosch 9.
I will get set-up with PingPlotter this week-end and e-mail the results to the address you specified(assuming I can figure out how it all works!).
Does it matter which destination I run a tracert to?What is a tweener?

Hey this is local ISP's - not only must you pay for nonexistent service, poor connectivity - you must also solve the issues for them and pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so - local is lekke! / Go BEE Go

Yeah, well we have Will and Jeff from two directly competing companies working together to help solve our problem, regardless of our ISP.

You won't get that in other countries - it's all relative man.
 
I know Jeffrey, he knows what he's doing - not just a Linux noob
Pity this is what it takes to pull fingers out asses though
