YouTube is completely unusable. My speed test results are good, 1.49Mbps down, yet I cannot even stream 240p youtube. Mweb's network is badly broken. Time to sign up with a non broken ISP

AH is also broken at the moment. MWEB is actually faster.

I see reports of IPC problems in Cpt. Not sure if this will impact on you guys as well?

Try again. Seems like today after 9:00PM youtube doesn't buffer anymore.

I am really tired of this **** tonight. I think the camel's back is broken. I have had no to limited internet connectivity tonight.

I actually miss dial up! That was more reliable and less costly than this. And at present, also faster.

Cape Town area as well, first hop in tracert is also crazy.

A lot of people will tell you that it's overcongested exchange but everyone is complaining of lag in GW2 tonight across multiple ISPs.

Morning straatkat

From these results it is clear that things spike from from the 2nd hop. That points to a congested exchange you are connecting too.

I suggest contacting Telkom, provide them these results as well so that they can look into why the exchange is congested.

Morning StevenC

Can you please do a traceroute to a local and international site so that I can see the results you are getting.

Egypt's coastguard caught three divers cutting through an undersea Internet cable on Wednesday, the army said, the first suggestion criminals might be involved in days of severed connections and disruptions online.

My line got upgraded to a 4 meg today going to try it out now.

According to Afrihost, Telkom did some work on an IPC in Cape Town recently and, this morning, 'were moving over to (the) upgraded IPC'.
Maybe that's responsible for those of us connecting via Cape Town having such latency issues this morning...

Actually, if you look at the speed test, you will have noticed that a dial up was faster last night. As for the total costs, a 4 meg line and uncap internet = R1149, which is almost twice as much as I used to pay for my dial up connection.

I am just really tired of this, that is all. I had Telkom looked at the line, I have had Mweb looked at it. I have bought two new routers, replaced cables and I cant even open a freaken webpage this morning before I left home.

My line was just fine last night. Managed to pull nearly 3GB on torrents on my 1mb line.
