I have an ISDN line alongside my ADSL because of crappy ADSL international latency. Over the last few days, however, I have been experiencing very crippled international latency to both Europe and USA. I have access to ISDN dialup accounts with Storm, Imaginet and DataPro (they all have different international peering arrangements). Usually, when one of them sucks, I'm able to get a reasonable connection with another.
I usually get pings in the 250-300ms range internationally with any of them (needed in order to connect to international NASCAR servers) - but no cigar over the last few days - pings in the 500-1000+ range, with dropped packets every evening.
Does anyone know whether something is amiss with Sat-3, or general international access at present. Usually able to get into the SAIX noticeboard to check, but couldn't get access the last few days (guess TELKOM actually *does* read this forum [
])
