Hi guys, I'm thinking of moving from my SkyFi 200mbps account (Vuma) to WebSquad.

With SkyFi I do get good gaming latencies and good speeds on locally cached stuff (YouTube / Netflix / Steam / Origin / etc), but my Linux distros (p2p) have never performed faster than around 50mbps - 80mbps (and all my international speedtests show 10mbit, but that's neither here nor there).

How is international bandwidth and p2pwith WebSquad? Thanks :)

Never had an issue with P2P - emergence running 6.0MB now not a big tracker MTV
i download to seedbox(movies mainly) and max out line speed from there am on 100meg

Only on 50/50 here but I have no problems maxing out the line. Majority of my content comes from p2p. 150ms to WoW EU...

How is the new Seacom peering policy going to affect us, if at all?

Won't affect us much to be honest, if at all. The traffic volume between our networks is negligible. If maintaining peering was too much effort, which is what their latest comment seems to allude to, the open Route Servers at the Internet Exchanges would be an alternative. Most local ISPs who use Seacom for transit also peer openly at one of the NAPs, so traffic between us and those ISPs won't be affected. Basically we just see them shooting themselves in the foot here and moreso for Seacom transit only networks (like their own FTTH and FTTB clients) as well as some ISPs who buy IP and internet from them - these guys won't have direct access to anyone.

Destination IP/server name? 770k prefixes on the global internet. Helps to know which one is not getting an ideal route back to us.

If it was a singular issue i'd point that way ;)

Between STO and Apex rubberbanding,downloads from my seedbox hovering 100-1200Kb/s and Speedtests straddling 4-20Mbps,something isn't copacetic

Lucky bin server choices on speedtest internationally below,local is fine

Can you please submit a ticket so we can run some line tests?

I see you're on a fast package, may I ask what your p2p performance is like?

Thanks :)

It's pretty meh to not worthwhile at all to be honest, unless there are lots of local seeds for whatever torrent you are leeching.
The tracker I use is a private EU one with very few local seeds. I've never seen downloads faster than 4MB/s (averages around 2MB/s and can spike to 20MB/s for a few seconds), but my seedbox downloads are around 200MB/s, so I just use the seedbox then use HTTP to download here at full line speeds instead.

I'm guessing IPT, which has a large ZA community. If your torrents don't have decent local seeds you are in for a bad time in my experience.

Here I am pulling over 200Mbps, over WiFi, with 20 seeds all from NA/EU

My experience is similar with RARB and mostly international peers. Trick is to allow many connections as no individual ones are very fast. That said it takes a while to get to those speeds and only if your ratio on the tracker is high so you get better priority from peers.

Though I never managed to get anywhere close to that on Windows. Linux / MacOs has always been a lot faster for me when it comes to torrents. Perhaps things have changed recently?
 
I do run tuned configs, the same ones I use on my seedbox/plex services.
