youtube struggles to load and when it does maybe streams data for 30 seconds then dies

I can confirm the YouTube thing, it's been happening sporadically to me too. It streams for a few seconds, then just gives up.

Put it down to Seacom re-routing

Not taking recent hiccups into account (Seacom etc) - I've always gotten full line speed on YouTube after hours with my Gamer King account.. even during the day it streams very well

Hi Friends,

We will look into last nights sporadic issues.

We cannot seem to replicate it this morning, as all is running at full speed

MrBeep, my YouTube streaming is doing the same as last night.

Before it would buffer the entire video at my full line speed, now it's doing this. (attached image)

Only getting a little over 1.2Mbps on my 4Mbps account on Speedtest atm locally. Pretty much the same on international.

Anything wrong atm MrBeep? Shouldn't be this slow. Torrents barely making 30kBps if I am lucky.

 

[chuck606]

OK I can barely download anything on my 1Mbps uncapped account, I'm getting 10kbps max. Anything wrong at the moment MrBeep?

Trying to find a location on google maps and have been waiting 10mins for it to load fml.

 

[MrBEEP]

Hey Friends,

Which regions are you in? There does not seem to be a general network issue, but more a backlink issue on the SAIX side. We have received many network fault reports from SAIX over the last 2 hours.

Cape Town, Claremont.
