Message: [QUOTE="Riptide, post: 12991395, member: 249925"] This problem is currently experienced throughout South Africa by most ISP's using Telkom's Openserve as a result of an underwater cable issue near the coast of Western Africa as well as close to the UK. ISP's like AXXESS, Afrihost, WebAfrica and a few others are currently re-routing internet while others have bought more broadband, but none can currently completely escape the effects of the cable issue. The effect of the above is, unless your IPS has bought more broadband, a drop of 60% in internet speeds, heavy and regular spikes with latency of above 2500 reported as well as huge packet loss. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it for now. I'm staying in South Africa on the south coast and experience exactly the same problems you have described. If none of the advice in this thread worked for you, then you're just one of a million South Africans facing the same issue. You can google "Wasc internet cable" and "Wacs internet cable" and read all about the latest development on this. Lets hope this get sorted soon [/QUOTE]
