Thanks so much WIll try tonight, Xbox live wants a MTU of like 1500 something =/

Hmm, my Xbox live works 100% on a MTU of 1492. Same router, do you use a PPPoE connection to your router? Let me know if you're having troubles connecting, I can try to help since I have the same router.

Yip put my router in bridge mode and dial a PPPoE. I can make the connection, but when it queries Xbox Live connection, it gives some error about the MTU rate.

Oof, my setup is different. The router is in routing mode, so the isp details and whatnot are entered into the router and I dont have to dail, I'm afraid I dont quite know how to set Live up with bridge mode, but I figure you'd have to enter the isp details on the Xbox, since it would need to dail to connect. The router setup pages are also different for Bridge/PPPoE only connections. ;\

International pings still better than local, awesome.

I posted an example showing that the problem is likely on the Telkom circuit (tracert shows where is congestion is).

Hmmm, I might have to swap back to routing mode than ;/

It is MWEB's circuit... (It might be Telkom who owns the infrastructure, but who is operating it)

I'm not sure what's supposed to indicate. We all know that mweb.co.za is hosted on a separate backbone, and that it does not respond to pings. Try www.mweb.com or pop.mweb.co.za or www.dstv.com.

We know that the MWeb backbone is sometimes congested, but when I test it now I get 30-50ms (from CT-Jhb).

Probably both networks are congested this week, leading to the bad user experience, but it's not clear who is going to ever fix the problem...

And making Telkom richer with all the calls...
