I know about the submarine cable cut but stuff like cached content from google should be pretty much ok, and since they insist on serving it I expect beter. I have another link here thats excellent. SIlly me decided to have them offer me the primary link. The issue here is not even the cable cut. something else is going on. those IP's 62.8.88.127 are local so I expect thats a server in THEIR data center. somehow their internal design I suspect something to do with DNS is causing this. If I do the same basic test direct to the IP everything is so livable with: --- zuku.co.ke ping statistics --- 20 packets transmitted, 11 received, 45% packet loss, time 19003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 5.720/8.775/18.301/3.290 ms jgitau@techminds-demo:~$ ping 62.8.88.127 PING 62.8.88.127 (62.8.88.127) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=7.24 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=9.77 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=3 ttl=60 time=6.02 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=4 ttl=60 time=5.98 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=5 ttl=60 time=10.0 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=6 ttl=60 time=8.97 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=7 ttl=60 time=6.94 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=8 ttl=60 time=8.49 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=9 ttl=60 time=7.05 ms 64 bytes from 62.8.88.127: icmp_seq=10 ttl=60 time=7.87 ms --- 62.8.88.127 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 8999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 5.983/7.840/10.034/1.372 ms They issue the following for DNS dynamically : jgitau@techminds-demo:~$ more /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 41.212.3.2 nameserver 62.8.64.6 nameserver 8.8.8.8 this means even local content is out of whack for me....and I assume you gitau On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:
I am on the 8Mbps fibre package and even before the fault/cable cut I was getting an average speed of 0.2Mbps to 0.5Mbps.
Again, they told me my link was fine. Also tried to tell me a lot of crap about it being a shared service which I fully understand, but 0.2Mbps out of 8Mbps???

aiyaiyaiiii I think i want an ISP with a custom package that sells me internet in a way I can make choices on when to complain. While I understand ínternet is an amorphous thing I buy, losing 25% of all my international packets is ridiculous.
