Web Africa ADSL general feedback

Yup, something funky going on.

Struggle to just load mybroadband website at the moment.
 
Taken me a few minutes to get to this page; problems with gmail chat - "Oops. Your chat connection may have been interrupted" ; having issues logging into work email. Not great this morning at all - is WA addressing this I wonder?

still 10% packet loss to there own network, from a mweb account
Ping statistics for 196.220.58.66:
Packets: Sent = 29, Received = 26, Lost = 3 (10% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 65ms, Maximum = 66ms, Average = 65ms
 
Same here, 10% packet loss to everything. online gaming impossible. on both my uncapped and redafrica accounts.
 
My internet is unusable. I switched to my Axxess account and everything is running smoothly.
 
I think it going to be time to find a new isp i cant do this any more really, every 2nd week there is a issue calling them again now.
 
I'm not a WA client, but just want to rant a little. :)

Is the WA Uncapped advert on MyBB irritating anyone else?
It's a good advert and all, but I keep starting it by accidently moving my
cursor over it while reading a news article. It's really annoying.

Surely it would have been better if you had to click it to play the video
clip instead of being forced to download it everytime you move your cursor
over it?

After midnight, my latency in SWTOR is all over the place (200-1000ms+), same as Friday night. Switch to Afrihost account, and although a higher minimum ping, is stable. This same issue (after midnight erratic latency) has happened before, what gives?
 
Whilst I was able to DL in DL+ hours this morning, it was all via Astraweb even though the files were a few weeks old. It seems the WA news server is dead at present :(

This happens pretty much every night to me. This is also the time that DL+ kicks in so that might have something to do with it?

Definitely. I start my downloads before midnight and they'll be going along at full speed. When the clock strikes twelve they slow down to a crawl, then gradually pick up speed after a few hours again. WA obviously don't have enough capacity.
