Telkom Internet Capped/Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)

Latency to AWS EC2 eu-west-1 (Ireland) is much higher on TI than other ISPs :(

Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)

Looks like the Internet is broken again, results are the same across Telkom and Vox.

10mb uncapped line.

Anyone else battling in the Muizenberg area?

TI Tracker limiting achievable speed on TI accounts

Something I just learnt from TelkomZA.

If you request a line speed upgrade you need to check the prioritization values in TI Tracker as they can limit the achievable speeds (not sync) very much like running a 4MB uncapped account on a 10MB line.

Doesn't tracker tell you that on the prioritisation page?
 
International seems very slow at the moment. Not getting issues on backup WebAfrica account.
Routing seems weird too:

Hmm, are you using Telkoms DNS or something else?

Code:
[mick@house ~]$ ping -qc 10 google.co.za
