That is telling.

I have done a few more tweaks to prevent gaming impacting icmp and dns too much. There may be some impact to P2P, which I will try and reduce.

I think we will have to test LOL at the office tomorrow and do packet captures, debugging etc. to see what is happening with the latency shown in this game, whether it is accurate, if so why it is so high etc.

I don't think it is just LOL (although I haven't tried other games),but others have complained about high latency in diablo 3 and dota 2 as well on this thread.This problem started for me on tuesday afternoon to be precise,played a game around 2pm and then from around 3-4pm it started and never improved since
 
Experiencing very slow international speeds right now. Also, lots of spiking in Dota 2. Some sites fail to load completely.

Edit: FML :mad:.

SPoke too soon. The crappy download speeds are back... same as always, decent over the weekend until about 7PM on a Sunday when Telkom decide 'sorry for you... the fun is over for the rest of the week!' this pattern has been repeating itself for too long now. I hardly do torrents, but a well seeded torrent is averaging 30kbps on my 4MB account. On a trial account from WebAfrica, it downloads at max speed.

This is what I am trying to fix at present.

Still busy with this, but just about done.

Weirdly its the opposite for me, when everyone's flying my speed crawls, and when there's a problem I get line speed. Looking forward to trying openweb for the comparison

Will make sure to update OP on reported usage one can do on the uncapped packages. My 10MB testing did get hampered due to the above power outage but i am hoping i can get just over 140GB until Sunday midnight. Bringing the total close to 840GB (currently on 703GB combined and no throttling). Not bad then :).

Not bad at all!!!
 
Am happy to report i did a total of 823 550 237 343 Bytes or 823GB combined, Uploaded 21GB and Downloaded 801GB. Not too far from the estimated 840GB i wanted to reach but that was due to me getting some things done :).

I had no throttling at all this weekend. I think a TB of data (streaming, browsing, downloading, gaming and anything else) is not bad value. This will be the sweet spot if it can remain constant each month. I do hope the 20MB and 40MB uncapped accounts have higher values to them :D because i can only test next year 20MB (hopefully) :p.

It is a new month, lets see what happens now.

It's actually 766GB, you have to divide by 1024 not 1000. Still impressive though.
 
haha, thanks. Always confuses me the way it is calculated. :o

Brings the argument, i bought a 3TB hdd but i only get 2.72TB :p.
 
CS go ping is better than before, ping to valve EU server is <200ms where it used to hover around 220ms
 
Anyone else having problem with download speeds? My NNTP dropped to 30 kb/s a while ago
 
supersport streaming seems to buffer a bit lately? any remedies available?

I have no issues when using FnbConnect.
 
Regarding DOTA, there are reports on their forum from a number of different countries (SA, NZ, AUS) and providers (Afrihost, MWEB) of high latency on DOTA:

http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=83787&p=630987&viewfull=1#post630987

We also need to find a way to pay the $10 required to play (you cannot imagine how much effort this is, we might just have to bite the bullet and pay it ourselves without being able to claim it back) so we can test ourselves.

We are testing other games in the mean time.
