Vodacom Fiber is a sh#t show today, can not even have a basic zoom meeting or access some sites.

As a default, yes. Looks like that speedtest was to the UK. Check server and latency there.
True that, speedtest shows that capacity exists, but not necessarily smaller issues or intermittency. Drop me a pm or log a ticket if you notice any dropouts so we can engage the upstreams - we are monitoring various endpoints ourselves to ensure stability, but we can't see every endpoint on the planet. There is a fair whack of traffic engineering going on at the moment as networks figure out what to do with their remaining capacity and how to optimise it. Remember east coast routes (EASSY) are significantly longer than west coast routes.

Will local traffic be affected as well or only international?
Are there any traffic graphs available say for between Joburg and Cape Town?

Repairs took weeks, mitigation took hours. To be fair, everything has seemed fairly normal since about 10pm last night

yesterday was ok, today a total clusterfk
Speedtest to New York: download maxed out at 0.8mbps, ping is all over the show, somehow magically made it through some online matches between mid-match reconnects and guessing where to aim given the random delay between clicking and something actually happening

The modus operandi at any urinal is to stick to that, and remember the golden rule: Narrow Band FTW!

Vodacom latency back to normal.

Uh, well yes, until you realise that "outage" is relative to location. E.g. those 743 in Europe don't mean most of Europe is down, it means it's down from a specific location lol.
Do any of you use the Excel Stock Data function to get share prices of JSE listed shares?
It seems to be broken, as JSE prices got stuck at 10:33 14March24. (seems related to problems yesterday)
Know of anybody that one can contact? It seems to only be stuck for South Africa

Back to dialup speeds here.

Starlink cruising here lol
That said, it depends where you're accessing. SA servers... a bit slow

373ms is "the future" ?
I will stick with my fibre thanks. Even if we lose all cables to the EU connecting via SACS ( Brazil to EU) or via SAFE (Asia to EU) latency will still be lower than that.

Maybe we should feed the types who break the cables to the sharks, I just have concerns about possibly poisoning the sharks.

This looks like a local speedtest, would be completely unrelated to the cable breaks.
Try a speedtest to CoreIX London, or Box Broadband London on speedtest.net, it would be a more realistic test of Vodacom's international capacity.
