*READ FIRST* iBurst Network Status & Issues (DNS, Throughput and Latency)

What about Randburg?!?!!? The internet is shockingly slow!

I got into my car and drove to Randburg from Fourways.

Here is the speedtest from Randburg.

Just came back after 30 minutes of no internet at all..... What is actually happening in your company.... Man, I really can't wait for July to cancel this contract, CAN NOT WAIT!

Don't forget to give them notice before 1+ months or they will put on month to month AND therefore will extend your pain for 1-2months more.
 
Northern suburbs

Apologies for the short disruption to connectivity. Some of the BTS were on redundant paths and have been reverted back to their primary paths after networking equipment was replaced.
 
This morning, in the rain and storm, my connection was downloading at 0.9Mbps+

It must rain more often!

Noooo!!! I'm one of those unlucky ones that get seriously affected by the rain. It's probably why your speeds were so decent, all my prontube videos were timing out...
 
Latency SUCKS - Not one of Ibursts strong points :(

Over the past week or two latency has just gone from bad to awful. Playing on British game server, ping was always +- 250 friend on ADSL was 260 well now my ping is 310 and his is 220 - Iburst progressively getting worse. In October they sent us an email saying that gaming on European servers would get better early in this year because they were going to make new high speed connection to european gaming networks???? Anybody know what happened to that?? Not sure how much more of this I can take before just giving up and getting ADSL

Plumstead Cape Town - signal to tower perfect, I am about 300 meters away - Latency sucks

DSL you are looking at about 30-40ms local , iburst on good days sits at about 80-100ms local for gaming; so your latencies are not to bad for iburst - unfortunately I don't think you'll ever get below 300ms consistently from iburst.
 
My latency to WoW has been perfect for the last few weeks, thanks Ronald :)
 
what has been happening in the Radiokop area lately? Last night and today the speeds have been shocking and i been hovering between 700ms - 2000ms in WoW?
