Hi guys

We have just received some information that pinging a site like mweb.co.za gives very high times (in comparison with other local sites) and that the trace route from Cape Town gives some strange hops on the way to MWeb. If you have some time can you please to a tracert to MWeb and publish your results?

Any idea what the issue may be?

Any feedback will be great.

Regards,

RPM
