Recent high pings with Incredible Connection ?

[blaaislaai]

Trying out the free Afrihost 1GB account. Maybe I'll just have to get like a 4/8 gb account for gaming. But will keep my Connection account for all other times. I mean, I've been gaming on it for a while and it's been great, just now at the moment it's not. But last night after 10pm it seemed good again. But can't play late at night/in the early hours of the morning everytime you know.

Do a tracert to any website and post the results here. Judging from your post, the issue is not ISP related but telkom exchange which is "overloaded" or congested.

If the 2nd hop of the tracert is showing numbers higher than 15ms then your exchange is congested

So having my second jump time out and move onto step three is not good news. I end up reporting disconnects and slower than expected internet connections to Telkom with disturbing regularity.....
