Not to mention WA have their own "special" shaping profiles
They even have a "special" call center whereby you get to pay R2 per min to listen to songs.

WA use a priority system:

Looks like a lucky packet to me.

I'm late into this and haven't read the whole thread but I'm confused by these two posts. Care to explain why you'd leave an ISP that was so great on all fronts?
When this is detected on the account, the backend will immediately prioritise the gaming packets to try to prevent the stream from affecting your gaming latency. So far so good. But because streaming takes high priority it can pull your full line speed, and on DSL technology this can cause latency spikes before it hits our network. Say, Netflix for example, where it may attempt to stream in HD with a solid 4Mbps connection, and ends up consuming the full bandwidth available on your line. We can try on our end to prioritise these packets dynamically which is what happens, however there's no accounting for what it does on the Telkom line itself before it reaches our network. We always recommend applying some basic QoS on your router if it supports it, to try to avoid these sorts of issues.
Thank you so much for this explanation! Who can I PM to help me configure my router? (It definitely supports QoS but it's confusing to me
)But why would you decide to leave in the first place of everything was perfect?Joined back after realizing leaving was a mistake

That's something that the mybroadband forum members can assist with. We prefer not to get involved in the QoS aspect on routers as we end up becoming responsible for changes and reconfigs, and that's more of an IT outsourcing function than ISP support. But the guys on mybroadband are usually very clued up and willing to assist with these sorts of things.
I saw in earlier posts people talking about League of Legends packet loss on Crystal Web. Has that all been resolved? From my (day time) test Web Africa gives no packet loss, but much higher pings, while Afrihost loses packets but has low pings.
Can anyone say what CW is like in the day?

nobody cares about upstream!upstream ....
If telkom could give us decent uplink speeds it may be another story...
