Meaning you still can't stream super duper size?

Lol. Well last night I streamed a 50gb file no problem. I still need to test a 130gb file.

Anyone else getting Steam downloads limited to 100Mbps? Connected to local download servers.
Nothing reported on Vumatel's portal. Log a ticket so the team can check
Seems to be some sort of limiter CDN side?

Yes, it's weird as it looks like a flat limiter not like a contention problem.
Got a strange issue streaming dstv. For the last few weeks it's been autoscaling the resolution up and down. So it goes fuzzy/clear/fuzzy/clear. This happens on multiple devices (all wifi though) and at random intervals. Interesting workaround I discovered last night is to start the stream on VC mobile data and then switch over to wifi. Zero scaling after that. I could get it to do the scaling at will after that, all I had to do was to initiate the stream from wifi.
As I'm typing this it's doing it on my PC and my line is chilling at 6mbit. Any clues what could be causing this?

Seems to be a general issue with DSTV. A few other clients have queried this and this weekend, a few ISPs on the ZANOG group posted about similar problems - so it's definitely CDN. Seems that streams originating from the DSTV/Akamai/Optinet JHB cache are problematic. Emails sent to all the NOCs. Awaiting response.

We're actually busy putting the comms together at the moment (nice and late Monday). Will be sending these out asap.

Streams to EU very bad. Very bad latency on 8th hop and nothing from second last.

MTR looks clear; if the latency uptick carries through, or losses carry through, then an MTR points to an issue. But here, it just means the direct route to that device (MTR basically pings each device along the path of the packet) isn't necessarily the same route your packet follows. And some devices along a route can be configured not to respond to ICMP, or not every ICMP request (which is why some hops show no response or dropped packets). This doesn't mean they're dropping packets, but rather don't devote resources to ICMP.
Any more info on this stream we can use to diagnose? FNO? Area?
Area and FNO?

Whoopsies... CPT Vumatel Trenched
No network notices from Vuma. Got an MTR I can check?

Seems to be doing alright now. Line speed with no hiccups. Didn't think to take MTRs, only reason I posted was because I noticed my Discord client went into a "Connecting" state and clicking on new YouTube videos wouldn't load.
Let us know if you pick up anything again. Not seeing any drops on the network, so seems more isolated - but always good to know.
