Is any one having poor international today with Telkom?
My torrents were maxing out this morn now im hardly cracking 10k.
In Sandton area
 
hmm had a huge problem with latency in Cape Town over the weekend. Getting pings of between 850ms and 1300ms to google.com. Int gaming was impossible to do, the lag got me killed so often I lost a couple of levels. Finally got a 1Gig unshaped from WebAfrica (took about 45 seconds through their website and I was up and running) and all the lag dissapeared. I've never experienced such bad lag on my shaped account, and noone had any answers either. Started downloading a new release of TurboCash from the SourceForge site this morning on a UK mirror, speed 3.4 kbits/sec (512 Line), tried a US mirror and got to about 20 kbits/sec. Will try gaming on unshaped account again tonight. Definately something up here. Others in CT had the same problem.
 
Yup - Cape Town area I get 500ms tracing route to google with SAIX:

Ok, this is scary... Downloading from rfactorcentral.com, on 512KB ADSL, coming down at 6-7KB/s, tried my 256KB sentech connection, coming down at 19KB/s... This is WRONG!
 
Okay are you guys having trouble logging in to live messenger as I am? Int isn't my worst irritation right now.
