So first interaction with Websquad, getting my network ready to flip onto fiber from the current ADSL,
love the personal touch, get the client sorted approach.
Thanks guys.

Have you tried switching to IPv6? seems the Google cache in JHB is still serving IPv6, just not v4. Google haven't provided any timeline on their network upgrades to cater for SA - but I assume theres a correlation between this and the Equiano landing, and a possible CPT presence.
 
Major packet loss on my side and international speedtest at 3 MB speed. Something is not working today

Can you please submit a ticket with a MTR? We need something to work with to pick up where these losses originate.

Any update and MTR here? No issues our side- so more likely last mile and we’d need to escalate this to your FNO to get this resolved.
 
@websquadza Quick account question - I want to setup a recurring EFT payment for my Web Squad payments but noticed you guys want the unique invoice number as the reference each time. Any chance I can use another reference that doesn't change?

Won’t be a problem here. You can drop accounts a mail and they will give you a reference you can use. You can also PM me your details and I’ll get them to mail you.
 
@websquadza Speaking of IPv6, any update on availability for Vuma trenched clients ? (Bellville, Cape Town specifically)

It’s been “coming soon” from them since 2017. If your router supports 6to4 tunnels, drop support a mail and we’ll set one up for you.

... I see you removed the original post... still wanna respond though...

That 20MB line you reference is actually 20Mb... notice the big and small b. data is transferred at Megabit, data is stored on disk as MegaByte.

that 20Mb line, that would translate to about 2 MB, at theoretical best, so if you getting 1.5Mb, you doing well.

Even though you've fixed your problem with a 6TB drive, I'd propose still sync'ing your data to a cloud provider. I've had a couple of friends with a nice NAS setup, jsut for thieves to clear the house out, with NAS and then sit with no media/photo's docs etc... My TrueNAS is configured to sync a directory sub structure to a 2TB Google Drive (R150/month).

Question for all,

I need to back up some data from my NAS, as I need to replace a few drives and potentially recreate the ZFS Pool, I have a Hertzer server in DE, an Oracle Cloud Server in JHB and using Wireguard as a hub and spoke. All traffic goes to JHB then to DE.

Why is uploading so slow?

Getting 1.50 Mb/s out of a potential 20 MB/s? (range of 1 MB/s to around 3.3 MB/s)
Can anyone recommend any optimization?

Ps. I'm finding that I get more consistent speeds going out to Oracle in JHB, then to Germany, than connecting directly?

Thoughts and considerations appreciated, I really don't want to rent an R900 server again next month :)
