@websquadza International absolutely crawling for me at the moment. NNTP doing 16MB/sec max. Speedtest looking abysmal. You guys working on anything over there? Same thing that happened yesterday until it resolved later in the day:

It's very infrequent , on an MTR it'll just show up as 1-2% packet loss on the last hop, I just got lucky on this iperf , but after 8pm it calmed down a bit, did you reset my PPPoE? , as my line died at 8pm?This is looking bad again. Can you see any obvious packet loss on a MTR? It should show with this kind of iperf loss?

@websquadza - not getting any joy from support, and my international is still below 200mbps levels, nevermind 1gbps. Definitely something your side as local is fine and I have no packet loss:

The loss seems to stop at 12am to 4am , but while doing international tests at that time , my speeds are still horrible
Is this something of concern? , I see this at all times of the day now, when doing a iperf , I can also feel something similar in games

All good over here , also on Vuma Aerial in RoodepoortGetting some random connects for a few seconds (10-30 seconds) then connectivty restores.
Anyone else getting it?

Appears to be okay for now. Have some MTR's running for when it happens again.

However my international speeds are even worse now

I'm also curious on why the BNG in JHB adds 20ms to some London IP's and has a ton of jitter , getting an IP from core now , my pings are 160ish and flat.
Looks to be drops yes, export from my router syslog:Any drops on your PPPOE? Can you drop us a ticket if it happens again so we can follow up?
Thank you for this feedback! Passed it onto him!Quick shout-out to Karabo from support
Incredible customer service and remote support when things didn't do what they were supposed to

What line speed? these all seem stuck at about 100 Mbps? Could be related to the above eth phy issue?
