Connection just died.

How long before I should log a ticket?

Vumatel Cape Town Southern Suburbs

Edit: 10 mins is long enough I think

I see you raised a ticket, thank you. Seems like a power issue at Plumstead South POP.

Thanks for the feedback - that was a theory that was thrown around by someone on WhatsApp, didn't think it was true

Can you please check again and send MTRs and LAN speedtests on a ticket.


If you can confirm as well?

Reflex are investigating and asking for tests.

Sorry for the late response. It came back after about 15mins.
I then forgot all about my post.

Are there issues again with Vumatel? I'm getting sub-1mbps download on my 100mbps line in Centurion. Upload seems fine

Likely a Vuma issue. Still ongoing? Any chance you can get a LAN test to confirm? If still the same, please open a ticket

I did open a ticket last night thanks, did a LAN test to confirm. My connection is fine again this morning.

Anyone else finding YouTube extremely slow? It’s just taking so long to load

Noticed this as well

 

[DarkSt0rm]

Yoooooo


Apparently, slow youtube is a precursor to everything breaking, 2nd time I've seen this. I can at least use my VPN so the internet is usable again

 

[PilgrimToHyperion]

Seeing some odd behavior as well. Can't get to FNB or Discovery. Some local sites work though. Same with international ones. Only some resolve. It's like someone's DNS has had one too many shots of tequila.

Edit @ 01:14.

FNB is back. Discovery still borked.

Similar issues, some sites are not loading for example twitch cant stream anything

I couldn’t get google.co.za a few times either. Had to use bing.

Oh no! When do you start therapy? I was forced to use Bing once too. Things have never been the same since.

Morning. One of our transit vendors completed some overdue switch replacements last night. However, it seems they didn't follow SOP of downing BGP sessions gracefully first and keeping them down until the L1/L2 legs were tested and complete. Sessions seem to have flapped a few times, restored for a short while and then flapped again for a while- causing quite a bit of consternation while the network recalculated routes (reconverged). We will address this with the vendor.

Google slowness issue would be unrelated to the above (unless Google is offloading some traffic to transit). Is all content slow or just certain stuff?

To be honest , everything google related feels sluggish

Everything is slow. Whenever I open the YT app, it takes ages to load and eventually just shows my offline downloads.

In some cases, it does load but then the comments section of a video says I’m offline. Weird.

At the moment, it seems to be working but I’ve noticed the issue comes up regularly

Who needs therapy when you can just talk to chatGPT in Bing about all your problems.

Now my internet is completely dead. Vumatel KZN

All my neighbours on different ISPs also seem to be affected. I wonder what’s happening
