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

Tracing route to chessclub.com [207.99.83.228]

Trace complete.
 
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.
