Vox Telecom Fatpipe

Streaming non existent this morning on a 40meg line. What's happening VOX? Is it time to move on as this is becoming more frequent.
 
Can anyone tell me WTF is going on with Vox, and why it is so slow?

Capped account here... and not anywhere near cap.
I am pissed off because I missed two rather important Skype interviews, and tonight it times-out when I attach a PDF in GMail...

I have not spoken to Vox because last time I did they blamed Telkom, and there's nothing wrong with my line, if I use a different ISP, the problem goes away.

No problems here. Been tugging along as always. Getting full 100mbit in Northern Suburbs, Cape Town on 1TB Capped Fatpipe.
 
Yes I agree. Vox likes to blame telkom when it is them. Sometimes I struggle to browse simple websites. Also have a capped account. My openweb 8gb capped account works perfectly so it is not telkom.
 
I've also had a problem with Exodus on vox/fibrehoods. Seems like international speed is a problem with vox. When I speedtest london servers I rarely get above 10mbps on 100mbps line. Local is fine.
 
How should you cancel Vox subscription? I'm guessing they are going to make it difficult. Anyone been through it?
 
Before you guys blame Vox - I've been with them since I got on one of their fat pipe deals about a year ago or so. Think there's been literally one singular evening of issues (latency problems) which was sorted out quickly. As a web dev and gamer I'm on the internet pretty much the whole day, and not had such an good experience from the many other ISPs I've been with (WebAfrica, Afrihost, Telkom, and others).

Just did a sanity check now on speedtest on a 40mbps vDSL line:
 
Yeah I am happy with my Fatpipe 800GB as well. Obviously everyone can have different experiences as Telkom infrastructure is very random at the best of times.

WTF is up with vox these days? I can barely watch exodus,fb videos or netflix. Anything that needs to be streamed buffers all the damn time... I barely use 120gig a month on a 750gig fp package... SO please for petes sake can we sort this? With afrihost everything works fine...

You in the Cape Town region?
 
Does anyone know what is up in the Cape area ? Three weeks of not being able to stream stuff is getting to me, that is primarily what I use the internet for. My backup Web Africa account only has that much cap so cannot use it all the time. Yesterday the streaming was actually fine - until on the second when the clock struck 17:30 and the video I was busy watching got stuck and started buffering. All subsequent videos also. Throttling of capped accounts because of capacity issues ? Will check again today.
