Vodacom Fibre

[Bar_Rat]

Hi

Anyone else on vodacom fibre and having issues since last night?
I have very low international speeds and if I play games such as Diablo 4 I lag out terribly.

I have logged a fault but they just say they link is there and there is no issues and will escalate it.

WACS and SAT-3 suffer cable breaks between Congo and Cameroon

Slow Internet speeds in South Africa — break in undersea cables The West African Cable System (WACS) and the South Atlantic 3 (SAT–3) undersea cables have experienced breaks impacting connectivity to South Africa, MyBroadband has learned. Two well-placed sources who asked not to be identified...

Well, it's officially no longer a cable.

"The breaks were reportedly caused by a rock fall in the Congo Canyon."

I have vodacom fibre not mobile

What is warp?

Its like a free dns /vpn kinda thing you can use it on your phone or pc you can also use it on your router if it supports wireguard just google warp 1.1.1.1

It helped my international/eu go from 300ms back to 140-170ms and helped with buffering on other streaming apps ever since the cable break

Dnst look like it but my net became stable again before I installed it. Will test it if things go down again

It does make things stable but my ping is higher than normal. Still usable for most games though
