Vox Telecom Fatpipe

Youtube is buffering on 40Mbit VDSL. :(

Speedtest running full speed.

I can't even access Youtube on my 4mb line.

Been doing a big Steam download this evening and performance has been very erratic, topping out at only about half line speed throughout. Really annoying.
 
I am having very poor performance from Vox Telecom as well... Youtube battling on 20mbps vdsl...

Even google searches struggle.
 
Also having issues with Vox. So much so that Chrome popped up a msg to say youtube is unresponsive. When it did work it buffers like crazy. On 40mbps line..

Not good vox...
 
My vox account's performance has slowly deteriorated over the last week or two. Can't play games properly due to ping spikes, and can't watch Netflix at all.
 
a traceroute.. shows me huge lag at a upload link between telkom and vox? You guys tell me.

This is the traceroute for a server to Durban, from Durban. Seems like it goes to Rosebank, to Cape Town, back to Rosebank etc.

Heya guys. Just nocking on the door...Looks like VOX fatpipe has issues tonight. Very slow surfing, and some sites has timeouts. Eish...
 
Good evening all.

We are doing some work to improve service at present. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Will advise shortly.
