Evening. Apologies for being MIA these past few days. You still seeing issues here or sorted?

Was going to say someone put your ONT in upside down, then I saw the Vuma logo
Anything more specific you can give me? YouTube/Netflix traffic is mostly from a local cache in KZN
It’s taking quite long to load videos initially, almost like something odd is happening with the ads. Then once the video loads, it doesn’t have any problems.
I’m mainly noticing the issue on YouTube now but will check if anything else is slow too.

Same here. Internet is shocking tonight. YouTube doesn’t work.
No issues this side, Youtube loading just fine on Vuma trenched in JHB. Sounds more like an MTU or packet loss issue. I see you've sent a ticket, will ask the team to respond there.
This was related to some Google issues and seems to have affected a number of networks, so likely off Google JHB's NAP side.
@websquadza any issues in KZN on Linklayer? Please see his and my pms.
Twitter use fastly's CDN - will look if they're experiencing any issues

@websquadza - firstly just wanted to say thanks so much, I personally haven't noticed a single issue with my connection for quite a while now, even through the Google CDN issues etc.
I know you probably hate this question, but I don't suppose there are any rumblings of better pricing on Octotel? I see the 100mb package on Vuma is now R170 cheaper, and the 200mb package is the same price as the 100mb package on Octotel, a good R200 cheaper.
Understand if there is nothing to be said, thought I'd try my luck
- would be really nice if the 100mb price point got a bit more competitive.

Apologies for the late reply - there's been nothing official from Octotel yet, but judging by the incentives sent out for secondary towns recently (which we will announce soon); I think they may be feeling the pressure from other FNOs. I'd give it a few more months and I hope we will see some positive adjustments coming from team orange.@websquadza - firstly just wanted to say thanks so much, I personally haven't noticed a single issue with my connection for quite a while now, even through the Google CDN issues etc.

I believe this ticket has been in correspondence today - and tests have been requested. Please try assist while the team determines what the issue is.
