Well 70Gb takes a few minutes to finish. people would really need a lot of space if they want to download 24/7 on Rain 5G.

Think yesterday on my cool ideas i needed to do some stock take and used 750GB

This international line is not doing well this morning. Ping of 284 and download of 1.8 to London.

Latency is definitely looking higher today (+30-50ms)- I’ve sent a follow up to Transit providers in this regard, seeing it across a range of paths so definitely something on EASSy.. But speeds seem alright. Any particular destinations you want us to check (servers)?

All the weekend warriors porning it up International speed's definitely tanked



At least Cloudflare helps

Vodafone is sadly always a bad option (this is more a sign of their capacity as this is local peering traffic). Pick some other speedtest.net servers maybe?

Interesting regarding the Vodafone,usually gave full speed the few times I needed to check,but will remove from the Goto list

Coreix


Vox

As far as i know Vodafone UK pushes that traffic to Vodacom SA which then peers with ISPs

Runescape.com I actually hosted a boss mass last night with extreme lagg and somehow still managed to out dps the people from the uk and get all the drops with a ping of 280. I have no idea how, haha and thank you for the response.

I’m sure once Voda gets their WACS capacity back we should be good there. Vox will be the same here- peering traffic and considered local.

Your Coreix result is significantly slower than my test at the office, which is concerning. Will only be able to test a Vumatel line on the Bryanston Master Node (which you connect to) later this afternoon to see if I get similar results. Will keep you posted.

Very Broken this afternoon


International is hurting today , trying to play Games international, and its not working out



Local is fine though

Coreix looks fine from Springs

As mentioned above, please don't use Vox or Vodafone as benchmarks, these are peering traffic (basically their own networks provide transit on these) and out of our hands. That being said, higher latencies are definitely an issue today (definitely an EASSy issue). Higher latencies seem to be leading to highly degraded performance. We've tried a server on our end with a solid TCP stack and speeds seem normal - and (for now) seeing little evidence of packet loss on Vumatel. Testing at home on a 1G, I'm getting anything from a few mbps on a windows laptop (over WiFi) to about 60-70 Mbps on a Mac, which is a clear indication that different TCP stacks do help at these highly elevated latencies. I would suggest testing a tool like TCP Optimiser to assist today.

We are doing everything we can to get an answer on these higher latencies.

Testing some small changes to announces. Let me know if it helps with gaming latency etc?

Will do so , thanks

 

[tracee]

My in game ping has dropped from 284 to 222. That is much better, thank you.

The mrs isn’t swearing about ping, so I guess what ever is being done helps

 

[DarkSt0rm]

Anyone else currently suffering from acute fiber connection death? Symptoms include overpaying for mobile data?

Edit: Back up yay

 

[ijacobs3]

Ping is rough again tonight

 

[DarkSt0rm]

Yup, twitch is also unwatchable, buffers every second. Good lord it's going to be a painful wait until the 8th....

International just died for me?
