Hi everyone,

I recently got a 10meg fibre connection with Mweb and thought the days of poor internet were behind me.
Surprise!

While monitoring my latency to mweb (or any server) and running tracerouts I see that my latency spikes or in some cases that there is no response at all. This is completely intermittent - it can work for a few hours and then be completely shyte for another few hours, or anything in between.

I've tested my local network and removed devices one at a time, etc. but this seems to have no effect.

Additional notes:
1. I play Overwatch and sometimes at the end of a match (loading the next match) the packets just die completely ("request timed out" in command prompt and black screen in-game). When I exit Overwatch the packets resume.

I'll include some pictures below. Any ideas what this might be?

That seems to be your fibre line, but first thing to test, is another account. Any ADSL account will work, so try Afrihost and check if you get the same results.

Yeah, just tested with the free Web Africa 1gig account and am getting the same timeouts.
