Vumatel Fiber Slow in parts of Joburg

[VooDooC]

Hi guys

Does anyone know if Vumatel is having issues on their fiber network? Currently getting 4Mb/s download on my 50Mb/s fiber. Already phone my ISP, they say they do not have any issues on their side (VOX) and that the fault is on Vumatel's side.

Over cabled medium as well? There are some random issues whereby customers are receiving mirrored traffic, Vumatel has scheduled an upgrade this week to resolve.

 

[VooDooC]

Yes cabled medium, also tested via Wifi and getting the same results.

I'm with CISP and also having problems. Doing a speedtest on the Vuma portal shows 50/5 with 3ms latency. Doing a normal speedtest, I get 8/2 with slightly higher latency.

I can't even get onto the vumatel portal, site cannot be reached.

Mine's also gone fubar over the last 15 minutes or so. Not CISP or vox. From 80mb/sec to 4mb/sec

What areas are you guys in?

I'm in Randpark Ridge, I see some people also complaining on their FB page without any response from Vumatel.

Yeah general Vumatel issue again, there is a major DFA outage in the Rosebank area which may be relative. Latency is higher than usual across the board from sub 1 to 2+, but lots of packet loss.

Not having any latency issues, just extremely slow download speeds (down to 512kb/s).

Will wait and see for now

This only started at 18:06 or so, so might be unrelated to your primary problem.

Same problem here in Weltevredenpark, around 5Mb download and 100Mb upload.

This is fantastic <3MB down but 100MB up

http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6481625780

on the portal its 30MB /100MB

If vumatel had some maintenance planned at least they could inform us.
Also when I check CISP portal it has a network status of all ok which it clearly is not.

guys don't do local speed tests. The high layer 2 speed and low latency disguises actual problems, as tcp retransmits for lost packets take no time at all

3mbps down, netflix buffering. On CISP

Yeah that's when it started here, yesterday I had some minor lag spikes but nothing to be worried about. Now it's completely stuffed

Same, upload full speed. I am on CellC Fibre. Download below 2mbps.
Friend on Cool Ideas also slow internet. Download is 7mbps.
So 100% Vumatel. Area Auckland Park.

I think cell c also affected. My phone is on roaming now and I know I have good cellc signal here.
