Vumatel Fiber Slow in parts of Joburg

[Segg]

Also had slow speeds on Vuma fiber lately, Bryanston area, using Vox. Speed tests are also perfect but most websites are slow, especially wrt streaming and downloading

No updates from Vumatel, I see Mweb has logged a fault now just after 19:00. I hope this is not something that's going to take weeks to resolve

Vuma has finally deemed us worthy to notify via twitter that there is a fiber break...

Egoli Gas explosion in Hyde park 8x144 core cables damaged. And they can't work on it yet as it's too dangerous.

So we direct our grievances to egoli gas for their incompetence?

ooo ***, they only commissioned that new line on the 20th!

I imagine resplicing 1100 cables will take a while

Thanks PBCool. And I hear Egoli is interested in extending gas lines into Blairgowrie. No thanks!

Oi, yes please

 

[PBCool]

Yeah and might not be resolved over night.

 

[PBCool]

Latency and packet loss is looking better.

 

[VooDooC]

Speeds seems to be back to normal, no idea what they did. Probably rerouted us?

Reboot CPE. Backup route will take effect. Speed back to normal

CPEs only do layer2, so it was something that was fixed on the backhaul or core kit.

Vox/Fibrehoods completely down in Illovo.

Back to normal in blairgowrie. #impressive

Do you need to reboot the router to regain access? Anyway you can do that through cmd? I don't have physical access to mine until the morning
