Not ISP related. Storm and copper are not always good friends...
 
So while my internet is generally schit 24/7, it somehow becomes even worse after 9pm. So bad that webpages timeout and if they do load, they take well over 30 seconds.

IPC upgrades have been ordered for all sites, the Gauteng site will get the biggest percentage increase. These upgrades are based on a more comprehensive bandwidth sizing model, which we should be able to apply consistently and more regularly.

It will take a few days (I think the turnaround time is supposed to be 2 business days), so hopefull there should be an improvement by Tuesday (10th) or Wednesday (11th).

Hi Ranger, any news on these upgrades?
 
We have just heard that the IPC upgrades have been implemented by Wholesale, but it is the wrong time to deploy changes on our side (too much impact for too short a benefit). We have a planned change approved in preparation for this though, so our portion will be done tomorrow morning, probably before 7.

Do you know which areas in Gauteng will be affected?
 
All regions are getting upgrades, the Northern region (which serves Gauteng, Limpopo, North West and I think Free State) is getting the biggest upgrade (mainly because some subscriber statistics were wrong on the previous sizing).

I'm praying that this will sort out the streaming issues!

Does the shaping administrators also fall under your department? I`m very curious to see if my 10meg uncapped will perform as well as my 4meg used to or even better.
