Switching over to different ISP's, Afrihost or FNB, it all systems go!

Still fine here in PE, obviously a localized problem looking at your first hop. Maybe a PM to TelkomZA might get things sorted.

Could also be DNS settings - are you using TI's default DNS or custom?

This link is currently running at 75%. There is no shaping occurring on our side at present. So assuming there isn't an issue on your side (e.g. something congesting your upstream), the problem thus cannot be on our side, but on the wholesale side between the high-speed leased line (105.226.0.5) and the broadband router (wblv-ip-bb-1). I don't know if any other ISPs are on the same high speed leased line, but I know most are on a different one in the same site (we were moved from it when we needed more capacity).

You may want Wholesale to check that link as plenty of TI folks in the Western Cape are complaining.

@ranger
We checked his line and did every test available. His line is near perfect. His exchange uplink was at 19% so it is not congested. You may want to get Wholesale to check your leased links.
