There's definitely an intermittent issue on your routes to France, I can see in Wow TBC classic i get major latency spikes but discord etc all work fine. It's pretty much going to mean a change in ISP's if you guys cant sort this out as another ZA person in the same area as me doesnt experience it, only difference is they are on Openserve so here's the path we talking about. Happens about once every 20 - 30 minutes, between 5-30 seconds of just no comms. It's really a problem as in a 4 hour space you have 8 major spikes and it kills the game.

Can you get an MTR rather than a trace so we can escalate to the upstream? Also consider editing out your IP from this trace.

Edit, can you please open a ticket with support? We're seeing something this side and believe it may be related to you.

This doesn't seem to be on our network. Please escalate to your ISP as I'm seeing PL on the first hop from your router and through to the handover.

Here is the MTR, each time i test, it looks fine and because it's so intermittent, we never catch it but it's really bad.
If you can keep an eye on it and let us know when it happens. Open a ticket if you can. As you mentioned above, these are clear here.
 
We're picking up on some packet loss on Blizzard services; seems to originate at the Blizzard peering point at LINX. We have escalated to the respective upstream to investigate and resolve.

Thank you, it's just impossible to do it during the day as i work, and then in the evenings when you raid, it's near impossible to catch as when you experience it, by the time you get the tests back everything is ok.

Did another extended test with 0 packet loss until hop 5. I see you have identified an issue with Blizzard services already though.
 
Blizzard is always an issue, but its an issue outside of WS, I just use ExitLag and don't have an issue anymore

Did another extended test with 0 packet loss until hop 5. I see you have identified an issue with Blizzard services already though.
Thank you, it's just impossible to do it during the day as i work, and then in the evenings when you raid, it's near impossible to catch as when you experience it, by the time you get the tests back everything is ok.
We've re-routed some traffic and working with our vendor to resolve an issue here. In the meanwhile, you may experience slightly higher latencies but no packet loss while running over this path. We will get this back down to normal as soon as we can.

meh, it's not great at all but let me know once it's resolved its fine.
 
I got to be honest, this is a bit frustrating. I don’t see other ISPs having this much downtime so regularly and it’s affecting my work.
 
@websquadza completely down again for the past 20 min. Agh this is really frustrating.

Will post an mtr of the downtime when my desktop comes back online.
 
Yeah also seeing this on multiple threads. @websquadza are most ISP'S Forced to use this KZN provider due to being the only provider or cost related, or is it simply by choice and chance that so many ISP'S use this provider?
