Absolutely horrid tonight. Can't even browse. Pages take ages to load. YouTube ... non existent. Had to switch over to 3G, which is the only way I could post here as well.
 
Whats the fastest way to cancel ? please dont say 10210 , i was on hold for 40mins today :mad:
 
Getting sub 40KB/s speeds. Still in the green & used 58GB so not throttled.

Anybody else experiencing bad speeds?

Usual p2p evening shaping (100 - 150kB/s), http seems OK though I can hit +500kB/s on a Ubuntu download.

I'm not even using p2p, just installing stuff from the Manjaro Linux mirrors and I've specified local SA mirrors not that it makes a difference.

Slow as hell, everything is buffering. Something changed since midday.

Isn't that when stage 2 load shedding stopped? Unfortunately load shedding is causing fluctuations in demand. Friday and Saturday evening were much better than the past few weeks sccording to my testing.

Who knows. Had a technician move my line at the exchange already. No difference.

Maybe I should log another fault and get it moved again.
Won't help moving your port if it is due to congestion.

But log the fault and complain of exchange congestion. Backhaul links must be upgraded or there is a serious configuration issue.
