Telkom Internet high latency

[rpm]

I have been struggling the whole day with poor latency with Telkom Internet (capped). Anyone else?

1500ms to New York

I am using uncapped and getting 210ms in a game to Europe so it's fine for me.

Could you post a traceroute uncle rpm?

It is better now, but here it is none the less.

Experienced the same thing today. Download speeds were fine, but pings were very high (locally and internationally). Tried a Plugg (uncapped), Afrihost (capped) aad TI account (capped), to no avail.

It seems to have returned to normal now, but it's been really bad the past 2 days.
