Apologies, Upstream provider has just gone down for maintenance and they didn't gracefully shut down their BGP before. Routes are reconverging and should be back up momentarily.

Microsoft, like AWS, handle all their own transit and transmission into SA (basically they're local peering). We've seen this before when the CDN nodes they're delivering from are either down or congested, which means Microsoft offloads to other regions. Unlike AWS, when CDN delivery falls to another region, there's a bit of a slowdown. It seems they don't prioritise their own CDN traffic over inter region links (eg. Microsoft CDN in London delivering content in SA will feel slower than a connecting to an Azure instance in London and pulling content directly from that).

Horrendous... Keeps dropping!
What's this IP if I may ask? This is being advertised by a local peer (BICS). Not sure if they're also affected by the same maintenance.

@websquadza completely down in CPT? Vumatel Trenched
Not aware of any issues in CPT... NNI traffic volumes look normal and no recent notices from Vumatel.

I'm not on websquad network but mts is my provider. Frogfoot network. East Pretoria and maaan has the net dropped tonight like 5 times and it's all connected to this thread same results
Not a Nag. Upstream's maintenance (so called firmware update) is ongoing and resulting in ongoing flaps, including flaps on NLD circuits.. We've completely drained them for the time being.
There's a common upstream in the mix. Unexpected and ongoing flaps are resulting in constant reconvergence on our side.

My thoughts exactly, the only cool thing is you're online as a support for your network. My provider is all sleeping so yea, just thought I'd say this is not just you lot haha
@websquadza Any updates on my support tickets? #964479 and #264622
Updated your tickets. Still waiting for an acknowledgement from Vuma on your OLT situation. Thanks for your patience here.
FNO Update:
Openserve: 500/250 Mbps FTTH on Openserve is here.
In other news, it started snowing in the Karoo today

Apologies here, a weird upstream outage. Routes have restored, we've requested a RFO to find out what happened here.
