Vox Telecom Fatpipe

Hey guys,

I've had a look at the IPC from Friday morning until just now when I saw the message (btw thank you for raising this issue!!). The IPC is not the reason for this issue that you guys encountered. There was loads of bandwidth available.

I'll check with the core network team on Monday and see if I can get some more information as to what happened.

@Cape Tonians: Please confirm the problem is not happening any longer, thanks!

Regards,
Chris

While you're here Chris - any news on the hint you dropped regarding a > 10mbps bolt-on account? Or was that scrapped?
 
@cvanwie
It definitely was something with IPC.

When I mentioned the IPC I was referring to capacity of the network. I spoke with our core network team and can confirm there was a fault and it was resolved.

This was limited to Cape Town.

Can't give you more than that.. I hope you understand.

Regards,
Chris

Had some problems streaming Twitch this past weekend, on both the Fatpipe and the Bolt-On...

Cool thx for the response. I understand.
Good news it isn't capacity for regular usage, so I have a very good idea what then actually happened, and that unfortunately does happen :)
 
can anyone recomend a vdsl/adsl2+ modem that can store multiple pppoe profiles, or even better, switch between profiles on a schedule ?

to better manage multiple vox profiles ;)
 
Mikrotik makes this probably the easiest thing to do, scripting the connecting to different accounts.

Heard this many times before.

Please post link to one here for those of us that are:
A.) Ignorant of their product range
B.) Too lazy to Google it

I saw - literally 3-4 lines of code. Jealous, as I am going to womble off and write my own Telnet/Python script to do the same on the weekend.

You keep your existing ADSL/VDSL modem and just put it into bridge mode. You then set up the Microtik do dial out the connections as needed, based on schedule or port or whatever destination you going to.

I'd be extremely interested if you could guess what actually happened ... Send me a PM. I'll give you kudos if you're right. If not, I'll point and laugh. Fair? :)

Simple enough thanks, but which Mikrotik device?
