Update: we’ve seen about 70% of PPPoE sessions in Joburg affecting Vumatel, Evotel and Netsteam networks restart, with the last occurrence at about 15:10. We’ve escalated to the affected backhaul provider for further feedback.

Things seem more stable now. Will continue monitoring.

I've had about half a dozen disconnects in the last hour or so, Afrihost, Vumatel Aerial, Norwood area. Reconnects instantly though...

Same here

Backhaul provider is investigating. Seems to be affecting mostly northern and western Joburg regions. No further feedback yet.

Yip, rubbish connection today/evening. Buffering like a motherbitch.

 

[Zodiak]

Hi Web Squad, did they come back with feedback and a permanent solution perhaps?

 

[Zodiak]

And the disconnects are back again....

Feedback here is that there was a problem with re-convergence on a failover route they use that led to a loop. It's been resolved and shouldn't happen again.

@websquadza not sure whats going on, but is there an issue with the route to Google? Used to get 100MB/s on downloads from Google Drive/etc last week, and I've recently noticed I'm only getting a max of 20MB/s now?

Hi,

Any news when you guys are going to be on SADV?

Cheers.

No issues that I'm aware of, we're still peered and no network issues. Will investigate a little and run a few tests to see what the problem could be.

Got around it using IDM. Used to get the same in Chrome, but I've been noticing a lot of issues plaguing chrome as of late in any event, so probably related to that :/
