Vox Telecom Fatpipe

Yup, Vox broken in 2 locations, one on a 40mbps line and another on 100mbps FTTH. Not good...
 
Does a New Fat Pipe (Specifically the Fat Pipe promos of today) account still include 12-6 Uncapped/Unshaped?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say one of their IPC links are down.

Something is wrong with Vox
 
Vox agent tells me "They have fixed something in the background, torrents should work now" and "Browsing was off for a few minutes"

They probably made adjustments to the shapers after last night where P2P was shaped, so P2P was then unshaped completely which caused IPC to spike and slow browsing etc.

They've probably shaped torrents back into the ground now, so that browsing will work again...
 
Hmmmmm...

Downloading too much :D

Probably, I need to stock up on distro's while I have no interwebs for 2 weeks

Everything running full tilt again including torrents. Wonder what went tits up?

Things seem to be somewhat better, with no timeouts. But latency is higher that usual.
