R1198 for a symmetrical 500mbps line? what kind of sorcery is that?Looks like there is going to be a 500mbps and 1gbps package introduced.

Would need to escalate this to the FNO. Will need you to submit a ticket so our team can escalate.
We’ve picked up on a few paths that aren’t routing correctly since our one upstream brought up SACS bound US capacity. We’re working with them to iron out these wrinkles. Will bring this up with them. Please keep sharing IPs and updates. Really excited to get this sorted and have these paths in production.@websquadza Mentioned this issue in regards to my OVH dedi in Gravelines, but it's also happening on Discord to Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
Will update our MFN pricing tomorrow as well as officially announce 500 and 1G options (oops).
You guys running SACS and SAFE now?
Will our 300Mbps links wil be upgraded to 500Mbps or 1Gbps?
i assume you guys will announce by the end of this business day or monday if there's some sort of delay right?
Yep. We do have a 500M and 1G package on MFN. Existing clients will receive a free speed upgrade on 1 May and new clients can already apply for the new speed denominations.
Thanks for your patience- small delay in getting marketing updated. Will be out by Monday. But upgrades and 500/1G options all on the cards.
Thanks for your patience here, I'm told we're almost there. I'll ask the team to give you an update here. Just a quick summary, the proposed changes with OS have been folded up into a larger task we will complete on our end (two birds one stone). Everything is in place for this change (save for some delays on the OS side), we are just co-ordinating with various parties to streamline the changes. I'll make sure the team keep you in the loop.Hey @websquadza could you please look at ticket #193819 again? It's getting a bit annoying now
Still very low for 500/250. At this point I might as well cancel my OS line and request a Metrofibre install for the existing TP as it'll probably be cheaper (from what I've seen so far) for the same speed and hopefully work better.

300 is being done away with, 500 is the next hop. 1G is a new service, isolated to specific areas and MDUs (still to be communicated by MFN) during launch phase (they want to assess the impact on their network before extending this)Will our 300Mbps links wil be upgraded to 500Mbps or 1Gbps?
I've responded to the ticket.
That's interesting. I assume areas with newer rollouts were probably equipped with these speed upgrades in mind?
Nothing showing upstream issues on your reverse MTR from blizzard to you. 0% loss to the hop before your router- so there are no upstream / network issues from those results. However, ICMP on your router is disabled, so your MTR can’t show us if there is packet loss on the last mile (which, for now, is the only place it could be). So we need you to run a normal MTR from your side out- and seeing as you already eliminated upstream issues with your MTR, a local MTR should show loss on the forward trace.
I think it’s more backhaul capacity related. Not all areas/MDUs are on net or have dark backhaul.
